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.
