<< Deuteronomy 34 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation


1 Then Moses went up on Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab. He went to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. The LORD showed him the whole land. He could see Gilead as far as Dan,
2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the territory of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,
3 the Negev, and the Jordan Plain-the valley of Jericho (the City of Palms)-as far as Zoar.
4 Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I said I would give it to their descendants. I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you may not go there."
5 As the LORD had predicted, the LORD's servant Moses died in Moab.
6 He was buried in a valley in Moab, near Beth Peor. Even today no one knows where his grave is.
7 Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight never became poor, and he never lost his physical strength.
8 The Israelites mourned for Moses in the plains of Moab for 30 days. Then the time of mourning for him was over.
9 Joshua, son of Nun, was filled with the Spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him. The Israelites obeyed him and did what the LORD had commanded through Moses.
10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD dealt with face to face.
11 He was the one the LORD sent to do all the miraculous signs and amazing things in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.
12 Moses used his mighty hand to do all the spectacular and awe-inspiring deeds that were seen by all the Israelites.
