1 Então Moisés subiu das campinas de Moabe ao monte Nebo, até o topo do Pisga, do lado oposto de Jericó. Ali o Senhor lhe mostrou toda a terra, de Gileade a Dã; 2 toda a terra de Naftali; a terra de Efraim e Manassés; a terra de Judá, que se estende até o mar Mediterrâneo; 3 o Neguebe; o vale do Jordão, com Jericó, a cidade das palmeiras, até Zoar. 4 O Senhor disse a Moisés: "Esta é a terra que prometi sob juramento a Abraão, Isaque e Jacó, quando disse: ‘Eu a darei a seus descendentes’. Sim, permiti que você a visse com seus próprios olhos, mas você não atravessará o rio para entrar nela".
5 Assim, Moisés, servo do Senhor, morreu ali na terra de Moabe, conforme o Senhor tinha dito. 6 Ele o sepultou num vale junto a Bete-Peor, em Moabe, mas até hoje ninguém sabe o lugar exato. 7 Moisés tinha 120 anos quando morreu e, no entanto, ainda enxergava bem e tinha todas as suas forças. 8 Os israelitas prantearam a morte de Moisés por trinta dias nas campinas de Moabe, até se cumprir o período do ritual de luto.
9 Josué, filho de Num, estava cheio do espírito de sabedoria, pois Moisés havia imposto as mãos sobre ele. Por isso, os israelitas lhe obedeceram e fizeram o que Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés.
10 Nunca houve em Israel outro profeta como Moisés, a quem o Senhor conhecia face a face. 11 O Senhor o enviou ao Egito para realizar todos os sinais e maravilhas contra o faraó, contra todos os seus servos e contra toda a sua terra. 12 Com grande poder, Moisés realizou atos temíveis diante dos olhos de todo o Israel.
1 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the LORD showed him the whole land —from Gilead to Dan,
2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,
3 the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar.
4 Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."
5 And Moses the servant of the LORD died there in Moab, as the LORD had said.
6 He buried him "in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.
8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit "of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses.
10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 who did all those signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt —to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land.
12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
