< 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 goes up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and YHWH shows him all the land—Gilead to 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 to the Western Sea,
3 the Negev, and the Jordan Valley from Jericho (the city of palms) down to Zoar.
and the south, and the circuit of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palms, to 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 YHWH says to him, “This [is] the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed; I have caused you to see with your eyes, but you do not pass over there.”
5 Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the country of Moab, just as the Lord had said.
And Moses, servant of the Lord, dies there in the land of Moab, according to the command of YHWH;
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 He buries him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-Peor, and no man has known his burying place to this day.
7 Moses was 120 when he died, yet he was still seeing clearly and he was still strong.
And Moses [is] a son of one hundred and twenty years when he dies; his eye has not become dim, nor has his moisture fled.
8 The Israelites mourned for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the time of mourning was over.
And the sons of Israel lament Moses in the plains of Moab [for] thirty days; and the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses are 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 son of Nun is full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him, and the sons of Israel listen to him, and do as YHWH commanded Moses.
10 Since then there has never been a prophet in Israel like Moses who was the Lord's close friend.
And there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses anymore, whom YHWH has known 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 reference to all the signs and the wonders which YHWH sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 Moses did these amazing things with tremendous power as the Israelites watched.
and in reference to all the strong hand and to all the great fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
