Chapter 34Moses dies on Mount Nebo

1Then Moses went up from Moab's desert land. He climbed up Mount Nebo to the top of Mount Pisgah. Jericho city was on the other side of the Jordan River. The Lord showed him the whole land, from the region of Gilead to Dan in the north.

2He saw all the land that would belong to Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh and Judah, as far as the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

3He saw the Negev Desert in the south. He saw the valley that goes from Jericho as far as Zoar. Jericho is called ‘The city of palm trees’.

4Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘This is the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I told them that I would give it to their descendants. Now I have let you see the land, but you will not go across the river into it.’

5So Moses, the Lord's servant, died there in Moab. The Lord had said that this would happen.

6The Lord buried Moses in a valley in Moab, near the town of Beth-Peor. But even today, no one knows the place where God buried him.

7Moses was 120 years old when he died. But he could still see well. His body was still strong.

8The Israelites wept for 30 days because of Moses' death. They wept in Moab's desert land until the time for them to be sad came to an end.

9Moses had already chosen Nun's son, Joshua, to take his place as the leader of the Israelites. So the Lord had filled Joshua with wisdom. The Israelites listened to Joshua. They obeyed the commands that the Lord had given to Moses.

10There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses. The Lord spoke to him, face to face.

11Moses did the miracles that the Lord had sent him to do in Egypt. Those miracles showed the Lord's power to Pharaoh and his officers, and to all the people in his country.

12No other prophet has shown such great power and authority for all the Israelites to see.
