The Death of Moses and the Commissioning of Joshua

¹ Then Moses went up from the desert plateau^[a] of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite^[b] Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan, ² and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea,^{[c] 3} and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar. ⁴ And Yahweh said to him, "This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying,^[d] ‘To your offspring I will give it.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross into it."^{[e] 5} Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab according to the command of Yahweh.^{[f] 6} And he^[g] buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site. ⁷ Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old^[h] when he died;^[i] his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated.^{[j] 8} And the Israelites^[k] wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.

⁹ Now^[l] Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him, and the Israelites^[m] listened to him, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses. ¹⁰ And not again^[n] has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew^[o] face to face, ¹¹ as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against^[p] Pharaoh and all of his servants and against^[q] all of his land, ¹² and as far as all of the mighty deeds^[r] and as far as the great awesome wonders^[s] Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
