The Death of Moses
1
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab 1to 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 2as far as the western sea,
3
3the Negeb, and 4the Plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho 5the city of palm trees, as far as 6Zoar.
4
And the LORD said to him, 7"This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your offspring.'8I have let you see it with your eyes, but 9you 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 10no one knows the place of his burial to this day.
8
And the people of Israel 13wept 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 14the spirit of wisdom, for 15Moses had laid his hands on him. So 16the people of Israel obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10
And there has not 17arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, 18whom the LORD knew face to face,
11
none like him for all 19the 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.
