1 Então Moisés subiu da planície de Moabe ao cume de Pisga, no monte Nebo, defronte de Jericó. O Senhor mostrou-lhe a terra prometida, desde Gileade até Dan; 2 a região de Naftali, a de Efraim e de Manassés; também a de Judá, que se estende até ao mar Mediterrâneo. 3 Depois a região do Negueve, o vale do Jordão e também Jericó, a cidade das palmeiras, até Zoar. 4 "É esta a terra", disse o Senhor a Moisés, "que prometi a Abraão, a Isaque e a Jacob que daria aos seus descendentes. Agora já a viste, mas não entrarás nela."

5 Moisés, o servo do Senhor, morreu na terra de Moabe, conforme o Senhor lhe dissera. 6 Deus mesmo o enterrou no vale que está perto de Bete-Peor em Moabe, mas ninguém sabe exatamente onde. 7 Moisés tinha 120 anos quando faleceu e a sua vista era ainda perfeita e tinha a força de um jovem. 8 O povo de Israel chorou-o e esteve de luto por ele durante trinta dias nas planícies de Moabe.

9 Josué, filho de Num, foi cheio do espírito de sabedoria, pois Moisés tinha colocado as suas mãos sobre ele. Assim, o povo de Israel obedecia-lhe e seguia as ordens que o Senhor tinha dado a Moisés.

10 Não houve jamais outro profeta semelhante a Moisés, a quem o Senhor tivesse conhecido face a face. 11 Ele realizou espantosos milagres que nunca mais foram igualados. Fez grandes e tremendas maravilhas, em obediência ao Senhor, para castigar o Faraó, os seus súbditos e toda a sua terra. 12 Nenhum outro teve tanto poder nem despertou tanto respeito em Israel como Moisés.

1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,*34.1 Pisgah: or, the hill 2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, 3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.*34.7 natural…: Heb. moisture*34.7 abated: Heb. fled

8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.

10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, 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 Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
