The death of Moses
1Some time later, Moses left the lowlands of Moab. He went up Mount Pisgah to the peak of Mount Nebo,#34.1 Mount Pisgah…Mount Nebo: Mount Nebo was probably one peak of the ridge known as Mount Pisgah. which is across the River Jordan from Jericho. The LORD showed him all the land as far north as Gilead and the town of Dan. 2He let Moses see the territories that would soon belong to the tribes of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah, as far west as the Mediterranean Sea. 3The LORD also showed him the land in the south, from the valley near the town of Jericho, known as The City of Palm Trees, down to the town of Zoar.
4The LORD said, “Moses, this is the land I was talking about when I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give land to their descendants. I have let you see it, but you will not cross the Jordan and go in.”#Gn 12.7; Gn 26.3; Gn 28.13.
5And so, Moses the LORD's servant died there in Moab, just as the LORD had said. 6The LORD buried him in a valley near the town of Beth-Peor, but even today no one knows exactly where. 7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyesight was still good, and his body was strong.
8The people of Israel stayed in the lowlands of Moab, where they mourned and grieved thirty days for Moses, as was their custom.
Joshua becomes the leader of Israel
9Before Moses died, he had placed his hands on Joshua, and the LORD had given Joshua wisdom. The Israelites paid attention to what Joshua said and obeyed the commands that the LORD had given Moses.
Moses was a great prophet
10There has never again been a prophet in Israel like Moses. The LORD spoke face to face with him#Ex 33.11. 11and sent him to perform powerful miracles in the presence of the king of Egypt and his entire nation. 12No one else has ever had the power to do such great things as Moses did for everyone to see.

Moses’s Death
1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah,#Dt 3:27; 32:48; Jos 13:20 which faces Jericho, and the Lord showed him all the land: Gilead as far as Dan, 2all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean#34:2 Lit Western Sea, 3the Negev, and the plain in the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4The Lord then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’#Gn 12:7; 15:18–20; 26:3; 35:12; Ex 33:1; 1Kg 4:24 I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5So Moses the servant of the Lord#Jos 24:29; Jdg 2:8; 2Sm 3:18; 7:5,8; 1Kg 11:13; 14:8; 2Kg 18:12; 19:34; 21:8; Jb 1:8; 42:8; Is 20:3; 41:8–9; 42:1; 44:1; 52:13; 53:11 died there in the land of Moab, according to the Lord’s word. 6He buried him#34:6 Or he was buried in the valley#Nm 21:20 in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows where his grave is.#Jd 9 7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him. 8The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days.#Nm 20:29 Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.#Mt 17:3
9Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom#Ex 28:3; 31:3–6; 1Kg 4:29; 5:12; 7:14; 2Ch 1:10–12; Is 11:2; Ac 6:3; Eph 1:17 because Moses had laid his hands on him.#Nm 11:16–30; 27:18; 1Sm 10:1,10; 16:13 So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.#Nm 26:65; 27:15–23; 34:17; Dt 1:38; 3:28; 31:3–8,14–23 10No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.#Ex 33:11 11He was unparalleled for all the signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do against the land of Egypt — to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land — 12and for all the mighty acts of power and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.#Ex 7:3; Dt 4:34; 6:22; 7:19; 26:8; 29:3; Neh 9:10; Ps 78:43; 105:27
