- Chapter 34 -

1
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan,
2
all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,(a)
3
the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.
4
And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.
6
And He buried him (b) in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
7
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished.
8
The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
9
Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10
Since that time, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face—
11
no prophet who did all the signs and wonders that the LORD sent Moses to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his officials and all his land,
12
and no prophet who performed all the mighty acts of power and awesome deeds (c) that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. 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 Western Sea,
3
and the south,(a) and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.

The LORD said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”
5
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the LORD’s word.
6
He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows where his tomb is to this day.
7
Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his strength gone.
8
The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the days of weeping in the 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. The children of Israel listened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10
Since then, there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11
in all the signs and the wonders which 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 the mighty hand, and in all the awesome deeds, which Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
