Deuteronomy 34:5-8

5 So Moshe, the servant of ADONAI, died there in the land of Mo'av, as ADONAI had said.

6 He was buried in the valley across from Beit-P'or in the land of Mo'av, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.

7 Moshe was 120 years old when he died, with eyes undimmed and vigor undiminished.

8 The people of Isra'el mourned Moshe on the plains of Mo'av for thirty days; after this, the days of crying and mourning for Moshe ended.
