The Death of Moses

¹ Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab ^(a)to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, ² all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah ^(b)as far as the western sea, ^3 (c)the Negeb, and ^(d)the Plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho ^(e)the city of palm trees, as far as ^(f)Zoar. ⁴ And the Lord said to him, ^(g)"This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.' ^(h)I have let you see it with your eyes, but ⁽ⁱ⁾you shall not go over there." ⁵ So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord, ⁶ and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor; but ^(j)no one knows the place of his burial to this day. ^7 (k)Moses was 120 years old when he died. ^(l)His eye was undimmed, and his vigor unabated. ⁸ And the people of Israel ^(m)wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

⁹ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of ⁽ⁿ⁾the spirit of wisdom, for ^(o)Moses had laid his hands on him. So ^(p)the people of Israel obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. ¹⁰ And there has not ^(q)arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, ^(r)whom the Lord knew face to face, ¹¹ none like him for all ^(s)the signs and the wonders that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, ¹² and for all the mighty power and all the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
