Deuteronomy 34:1-10

1 And Moses went up from Araboth Moab to the mount of Nabau, to the top of Phasga, which is before Jericho; and the Lord shewed him all the mount of Galaad to Dan, and all the land of Nephthali,

2 and all the land of Ephraim and Manasse, and all the land of Juda to the farthest sea;

3 and the wilderness, and the country round about Jericho, the city of palm-trees, to Segor.

4 And the Lord said to Moses, This the land of which I sware to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it: and I have shewed it to thine eyes, but thou shalt not go in thither.

5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died in the land of Moab by the word of the Lord.

6 And they buried him in Gai near the house of Phogor; and no one has seen his sepulchre to this day.

7 And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death; his eyes were not dimmed, nor were his natural powers destroyed.

8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in Araboth of Moab at Jordan near Jericho thirty days; and the days of the sad mourning for Moses were completed.

9 And Joshua the son of Naue was filled with the spirit of knowledge, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened to him; and they did as the Lord commanded Moses.

10 And there rose up no more a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
