The death of Moses

¹Moses climbed from the plains of Moab up Mount Nebo, to the summit of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the LORD showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan, ²all Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the territory of Judah as far as the western sea, ³the Negev, and the plain, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. ⁴Then the LORD said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, when I told them, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’ I have shown it to you with your own eyes, but you will not go over into it.” ⁵There, in the land of Moab, Moses the servant of the LORD died, as the LORD had said. ⁶He buried him in the land of Moab, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, and to this day no one knows where his grave is. ⁷Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight had not dimmed, and his strength had not left him. ⁸The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end. ⁹Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, since Moses had laid his hands on him. The Israelites obeyed him, doing what the LORD had commanded Moses. ¹⁰Never again has Israel had a prophet like Moses, one the LORD knew face to face, ¹¹none like him in all the signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh, all his officials and his whole land, ¹²and in all the mighty power and all the great and terrifying deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
