Deuteronomy 34

The Death of Moses

Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo^a from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah,^b across from Jericho.^c There the Lord showed^d him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,^e all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,^f the Negev^g and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms,^h as far as Zoar.ⁱ Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath^j to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob^k when I said, ‘I will give it^l to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross^m over into it.”

And Moses the servant of the Lordⁿ died^o there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor,^p but to this day no one knows where his grave is.^q Moses was a hundred and twenty years old^r when he died, yet his eyes were not weak^s nor his strength gone.^t The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab^u thirty days,^v until the time of weeping and mourning^w was over.

Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom^x because Moses had laid his hands on him.^y So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

Since then, no prophet^z has risen in Israel like Moses,^a whom the Lord knew face to face,^b who did all those signs and wonders^c the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials^d and to his whole land. For no one has^e ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds^f that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
