Deuteronomy 34:1–8

Moses Dies and Is Buried in the Land of Moab

³⁴Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan, ²all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, ³the Negeb, and the Plain—that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees—as far as Zoar. ⁴The Lord said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”^{* 5}Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, at the Lord’s command.^{* 6}He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. ⁷Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his sight was unimpaired, and his vigor had not abated.^{* 8}The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the period of mourning for Moses was ended.
