Deuteronomy 34

Then Moses climbed up from the plains in the region of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the highest point on Mount Pisgah, which is across {the Jordan River} from Jericho. {There} God showed him all the {land that the Israelites would occupy. He showed him the region of} Gilead as far north as the city of Dan;

all the land that the tribes of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah would occupy as far the sea to the west,

the desert area in the south part of Judah, and the plain in the valley with Jericho (which is called the City of Palms), from there {on the north end of the Salt Sea} to the city of Zoar {on the south end}. \*

Then God said to him, “This is the land that I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants. I have allowed you to see it clearly from a distance, but you will not go there.”

So Moses, who always served God faithfully, died there in the land of Moab, which is what God said would happen.

God buried Moses’ body in the valley in the land of Moab, across from the town of Beth Peor, but until now, no one knows where God buried him. \*

Moses was 120 years old when he died, but he was still very strong, and he could still see very well.

The Israelites mourned for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days and then they stopped crying for him. \*

Because Moses had put his hands on Joshua the son of Nun {to appoint him to be the Israelites’ new leader}, God gave Joshua a spirit that made him very wise. The Israelites obeyed Joshua, and they obeyed all that God had commanded them through Moses. \*

Since the time that Moses lived, there has never been a prophet in Israel like him, for God spoke with him personally.

No other prophet has performed all the kinds of powerful miracles that God caused him to do against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, against all his servants, and against the people of Egypt.

No other prophet has been able to perform all the great and terrifying deeds that all the Israelites saw Moses perform.
