Deuteronomy 34

The Death of Moses and the Commissioning of Joshua

1 Then Moses went up from the desert plateau*Or "plains/lowlands" of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite*Literally "which is on the face of" Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan, 2 and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea,*That is, the Mediterranean Sea3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar. 4 And Yahweh said to him, "This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying,*Literally "to say" ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross into it."*Literally "to there"5 Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab according to the command of Yahweh.*Literally "at the mouth of Yahweh"6 And he*That is, Yahweh buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site. 7 Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old*Literally "and Moses was a son of a hundred and twenty year" when he died;*Literally "at/in his dying" his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated.*Literally "not faded his eyes and not had fled away his vitality"8 And the Israelites*Literally "sons/children of Israel" wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.

9 Now*Or "And" Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him, and the Israelites*Literally "sons/children of Israel" listened to him, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 10 And not again*Or "since then" has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew*Hebrew "knew him" face to face, 11 as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against*Hebrew "to" Pharaoh and all of his servants and against*Hebrew "to" all of his land, 12 and as far as all of the mighty deeds*Literally "the hand the strong" and as far as the great awesome wonders*Literally "the terrifying the great actions" Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
