< Deuteronomy 34 >
1 Moses left the plains of Moab and went to Mount Nebo, climbing right to the top of Pisgah that faces in the direction of Jericho. The Lord showed him the whole country, from Gilead all the way to Dan.
And Moses went up from the table-lands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is facing Jericho. And the Lord let him see all the land, the land of Gilead as far as Dan;
2 This included all the territories of Naphtali, Ephraim and Manasseh, Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,
And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Great Sea of the west;
3 the Negev, and the Jordan Valley from Jericho (the city of palms) down to Zoar.
And the South, and the circle of the valley of Jericho, the town of palm-trees, as far as Zoar.
4 The Lord told him, “This is the country I solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I'm giving it to your descendants.’ I have allowed you to see it for yourself, but you're not going to enter it.”
And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.
5 Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the country of Moab, just as the Lord had said.
So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.
6 He buried him in a valley there in Moab that is opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows to this day where Moses' grave is.
And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.
7 Moses was 120 when he died, yet he was still seeing clearly and he was still strong.
And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.
8 The Israelites mourned for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the time of mourning was over.
For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.
9 Joshua, son of Nun, was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him to dedicate him. The Israelites paid attention to him, and followed the instructions the Lord had given to Moses.
And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
10 Since then there has never been a prophet in Israel like Moses who was the Lord's close friend.
There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord had knowledge of face to face;
11 The Lord sent him to carry out all the signs and miracles in Egypt to convince Pharaoh and his officials, and all the people in the country.
In all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;
12 Moses did these amazing things with tremendous power as the Israelites watched.
And in all the acts of power and fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
