Deuteronomy 34

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.

Deuteronomy 34
34
1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab upon mount Nebo, to the top of Phasga over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Galaad as far as Dan,
2And all Nephtali: and the land of Ephraim and Manasses: and all the land of Juda unto the furthermost sea,
3And the south part, and the breadth of the plain of Jerich, the city of palm-trees as far as Segor.
4And the Lord said to him: This is the land, for which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: I will give it to thy seed. Thou hast seen it with thy eyes, and shalt not pass over to it.
5And Moses the servant of the Lord died there, in the land of Moab, by the commandment of the Lord.
6And he buried him in the valley of the land of Moab over against Phogor: and no man hath known of his sepulchre until this present day.
7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, neither were his teeth moved.
8And the children of Israel mourned for him in the plains of Moab thirty days. And the days of their mourning in which they mourned for Moses were ended.
9And Josue the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands upon him. And the children of Israel obeyed him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
10And there arose no more a prophet in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face:
11In all the signs and wonders, which he sent by him, to do in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land:
12And all the mighty hand, and great miracles, which Moses did before all Israel.
