1 Then 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, 2 all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean  * 34:2 Lit Western Sea, 3 the Negev, and the plain in the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4 The Lord then said to him, "This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’  * 34:4 Gn 12:7; 15:18–20; 26:3; 35:12; Ex 33:1; 1Kg 4:24 I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it."

5 So Moses the servant of the Lord* 34:5 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. 6 He buried him  * 34:6 Or he was buried in the valley  * 34:6 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 97 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him. 8 The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days.  * 34:8 Nm 20:29 Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.  * 34:8 Mt 17:3

9 Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom  * 34:9 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; 31:3–8,14–2310 No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.  * 34:10 Ex 33:1111 He 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 —  12 and for all the mighty acts of power and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.  * 34:12 Ex 7:3; Dt 4:34; 6:22; 7:19; 26:8; 29:3; Neh 9:10; Ps 78:43; 105:27
