Deuteronomy 34:1–8

The Death of Moses

34Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Mount Pisgah east of Jericho, and there the Lord showed him the whole land: the territory of Gilead as far north as the town of Dan; ²the entire territory of Naphtali; the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh; the territory of Judah as far west as the Mediterranean Sea; ³the southern part of Judah; and the plain that reaches from Zoar to Jericho, the city of palm trees. ^4*Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob I would give to their descendants. I have let you see it, but I will not let you go there.”

⁵So Moses, the Lord’s servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said he would. ⁶The Lord buried him in a valley in Moab, opposite the town of Bethpeor, but to this day no one knows the exact place of his burial. ⁷Moses was 120 years old when he died; he was as strong as ever, and his eyesight was still good. ⁸The people of Israel mourned for him for 30 days in the plains of Moab.
