The Death of Moses

1Now 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 all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, 2and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the [a]western sea, 3and the [b]Negev and the territory in the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4Then the LORD said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your [c]descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go over there.” 5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, in accordance with the [d]word of the LORD. 6And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no one knows his burial place to this day. 7Although Moses was 120 years old when he died, his eyesight was not dim, nor had his vigor left him. 8So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

9Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses. 10Since that time no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 11for all the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land— 12and for all the mighty [e]power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
