5 So Moses 1the servant of the LORD 2died 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, 3opposite Beth-peor; but 4no man knows his burial place to this day.
7 Although Moses was 5one hundred and twenty years old when he died, 6his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated.
8 So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was 7filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10 Since that time 8no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom 9the LORD knew face to face,
11 for all the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land,
12 and for all the mighty power and for all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
