< 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 Araboth Moab to the mount of Nabau, to the top of Phasga, which is before Jericho; and the Lord shewed him all the mount of Galaad to Dan, and all the land of Nephthali,
2 This included all the territories of Naphtali, Ephraim and Manasseh, Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,
and all the land of Ephraim and Manasse, and all the land of Juda to the farthest sea;
3 the Negev, and the Jordan Valley from Jericho (the city of palms) down to Zoar.
and the wilderness, and the country round about Jericho, the city of palm-trees, to Segor.
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 Moses, This [is] the land of which I sware to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it: and I have shewed it to thine eyes, but thou shalt not go in thither.
5 Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the country of Moab, just as the Lord had said.
So Moses the servant of the Lord died in the land of Moab by the word of the Lord.
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 they buried him in Gai near the house of Phogor; and no one has seen his sepulchre to this day.
7 Moses was 120 when he died, yet he was still seeing clearly and he was still strong.
And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death; his eyes were not dimmed, nor were his natural powers destroyed.
8 The Israelites mourned for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the time of mourning was over.
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in Araboth of Moab at Jordan near Jericho thirty days; and the days of the sad mourning for Moses were completed.
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 Naue was filled with the spirit of knowledge, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened to him; and they did as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 Since then there has never been a prophet in Israel like Moses who was the Lord's close friend.
And there rose up no more a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew 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 work in Egypt on Pharao, and his servants, and all his land;
12 Moses did these amazing things with tremendous power as the Israelites watched.
the great wonders, and the mighty hand which Moses displayed before all Israel.
