Deuteronomy 34:5-8

5 So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.

6 And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.

7 And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.

8 For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.
