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
1And Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and Jehovah sheweth him all the land — Gilead unto Dan,
2and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the further sea,
3and the south, and the circuit of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, unto Zoar.
4And Jehovah saith unto him, ‘This [is] the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it; I have caused thee to see with thine eyes, and thither thou dost not pass over.’
5And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of Moab, according to the command of Jehovah;
6and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his buryingplace unto this day.
7And Moses [is] a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.
8And the sons of Israel bewail Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses are completed.
9And Joshua son of Nun is full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the sons of Israel hearken unto him, and do as Jehovah commanded Moses.
10And there hath not arisen a prophet any more in Israel like Moses, whom Jehovah hath known face unto face,
11in reference to all the signs and the wonders which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12and in reference to all the strong hand, and to all the great fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
