Moses Dies

34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Mount Pisgah, across from Jericho. From there the Lord showed him all the land from Gilead to Dan, ² all of Naphtali and the lands of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the ·Mediterranean [^LWestern] Sea, ³ as well as the ·southern desert [^Lthe Negev] and the whole Valley of Jericho up to Zoar. (Jericho is called the city of palm trees.) ⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land I ·promised [swore] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said to them, ‘I will give this land to your ·descendants [^Lseed; Gen. 12:1–13; 15:17–20].’ ·I have let you look at [^LYour eyes have seen] it, Moses, but you will not cross over there.”

⁵ Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in Moab, as the Lord had said [Num. 20:12]. ⁶ He buried Moses in Moab in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but even today no one knows where his grave is. ⁷ Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not weak, and ·he was still strong [^Lhis vigor had not left him]. ⁸ The ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] cried for Moses for thirty days, staying in the plains of Moab until the time of ·sadness [mourning] was over.
