Moses’s Death

¹ Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah,^(C1) which faces Jericho, and the Lord showed him all the land: Gilead as far as Dan, ² all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean^(F1) Sea, ³ the Negev, and the plain in the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. ⁴ The Lord then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’^(C1) I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

⁵ So Moses the servant of the Lord^(C1) died there in the land of Moab, according to the Lord’s word. ⁶ He buried him^(F1) in the valley^(C1) in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows where his grave is.^{(C2) 7} Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him. ⁸ The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days.^(C1) Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.^(C2)

⁹ Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom^(C1) because Moses had laid his hands on him.^(C2) So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.^{(C3) 10} No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.^{(C1) 11} He was unparalleled for all the signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do against the land of Egypt—to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land, ¹² and for all the mighty acts of power^(F1) and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.^(C1)
