Deuteronomy 34

1 Moshe went up from the plains of Mo'av to Mount Nevo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Yericho. The LORD shown him all the land of Gil`ad, to Dan,
2 and all Naftali, and the land of Efrayim and Menashsheh, and all the land of Yehudah, to the hinder sea,
3 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Yericho the city of palm trees, to Tzo`ar.
4 The LORD said to him, This is the land which I swore to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Ya`akov, saying, I will give it to your seed: I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.
5 So Moshe the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Mo'av, according to the word of the LORD.
6 He buried him in the valley in the land of Mo'av over against Beit-Pe`or: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
7 Moshe was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 The children of Yisra'el wept for Moshe in the plains of Mo'av thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moshe were ended.
9 Yehoshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moshe had laid his hands on him: and the children of Yisra'el listened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moshe.
10 There has not arisen a prophet since in Yisra'el like Moshe, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 in all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Mitzrayim, to Par`oh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moshe worked in the sight of all Yisra'el.
