Moses’s Death
1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah,34:1–4 Dt 3:27; 32:48; Jos 13:20 which faces Jericho, and the Lord showed him all the land: Gilead as far as Dan,
2all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean34:2 Lit Western Sea,
3the Negev, and the plain in the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar.
5So Moses the servant of the Lord34:5 Jos 24:29; Jdg 2:8; 2Sm 3:18; 7:5,8; 1Kg 11:13; 14:8; 2Kg 18:12; 19:34; 21:8; Jb 1:8; 42:8; Is 20:3; 41:8–9; 42:1; 44:1; 52:13; 53:11 died there in the land of Moab, according to the Lord’s word.
6He buried him34:6 Or he was buried in the valley34:6 Nm 21:20 in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows where his grave is.34:6 Jd 9
7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him.
9Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom34:9 Ex 28:3; 31:3–6; 1Kg 4:29; 5:12; 7:14; 2Ch 1:10–12; Is 11:2; Ac 6:3; Eph 1:17 because Moses had laid his hands on him.34:9 Nm 11:16–30; 27:18; 1Sm 10:1,10; 16:13 So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.34:9 Nm 26:65; 27:15–23; 34:17; Dt 1:38; 3:28; 31:3–8,14–23
11He was unparalleled for all the signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do against the land of Egypt — to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land —
