Deuteronomy Chapter 34

The Death of Moses

¹ Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah across from Jericho. The LORD showed him the land, Gilead to Dan; ² Naphtali, Ephraim and Manasseh; the land of Judah to the Mediterranean Sea; ³ the Negev and the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms as far as Zoar. ⁴ He told him, “This is the land I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I’ll give it to your descendants.’ I’ve let you see it, but not enter it.” ⁵ So Moses died in Moab. ⁶ The LORD buried him in an unknown place in a valley in Moab across from Beth-peor. ⁷ Although he was 120 when he died, his sight was still clear, and his energy was good. ⁸ Israel mourned him for 30 days in the plains of Moab.

⁹ Joshua was wise because Moses had laid his hands on him. The Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD told Moses. ¹⁰ Since then no prophet has risen in Israel that the LORD related to directly. ¹¹ There was nobody like him for the signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt against Pharaoh, his officials, and his country, ¹² and for the great power and terrifying deeds he performed for Israel to see.        Deut 34:1-12
