Then 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, all Naphtali, the land of
Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western
sea, the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho the
city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. And the LORD said to him, “This
is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I
will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your
eyes, but you shall not go over there.” So Moses the servant of the
LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the
LORD, and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite
Beth-peor; but no one knows the place of his burial to this day.
Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was undimmed, and his
vigor unabated. And the people of Israel wept for Moses in the
plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning
for Moses were ended.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for
Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel obeyed him
and did as the LORD had commanded Moses. And there has not arisen a
prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to
face, none like him for all the signs and the wonders that the LORD
sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his
servants and to all his land, and for all the mighty power and all
the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all
Israel.
