 1 Moses went from the plains of Moab to the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah that is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan, 2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the furthest sea, 3 and the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, to Zoar. 4 The Lord said to him, This is the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob saying, I will give it to your descendants. I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there. 5 Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the Word of the Lord. 6 He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor. But no man knows of his grave to this day. 7 Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor had he lost any of his natural strength. 8 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab 30 days. And the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 9 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. And the children of Israel listened to him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 Never since has a prophet like Moses arisen in Israel, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 in all 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 in all that mighty hand and in all the great terror that Moses showed in the eyes of all Israel.
