1 Subiu Moisés das planícies de Moab ao monte Nebo, ao cimo do Fasga, defronte de Jericó. O Senhor mostrou-lhe toda a terra, desde Galaad até Dá,2 todo o Neftali, a terra de Efraim e de Manassés, todo o território de Judá até o mar ocidental,3 o Negeb, a planície do Jordão, o vale de Jericó, a cidade das palmeiras, até Segor.4 O Senhor disse-lhe: Eis a terra que jurei a Abraão, a Isaac e a Jacó dar à sua posteridade. Viste-a com os teus olhos, mas não entrarás nela.5 E Moisés, o servo do Senhor, morreu ali na terra de Moab, como o Senhor decidira.6 E ele o enterrou no vale da terra de Moab, defronte de Bet-Fogor, e ninguém jamais soube o lugar do seu sepulcro.7 Moisés tinha cento e vinte anos no momento de sua morte: sua vista não se tinha enfraquecido, e o seu vigor não se tinha abalado.8 Os israelitas choraram-no durante trinta dias nas planícies de Moab; e, passado esse tempo, acabaram-se os dias de pranto consagrados ao luto por Moisés.9 Josué, filho de Nun, ficou cheio do Espírito de Sabedoria, porque Moisés lhe tinha imposto as suas mãos. Os israelitas obedeceram-lhe, assim como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés.10 Não se levantou mais em Israel profeta comparável a Moisés, com quem o Senhor conversava face a face.11 {Ninguém o igualou} quanto a todos os sinais e prodígios que o Senhor o mandou fazer na terra do Egito, diante do faraó, de seus servos e de sua terra,12 nem quanto a todos os feitos e às terríveis ações que ele operou sob os olhos de todo o Israel.

1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mount of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is before Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the land from Gil’ad unto Dan,2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Menasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the western sea.3 And the south, and the plain, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm–trees, unto Zoar.4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: I have let thee see it with thy eyes, but thither shalt thou not go over.5 And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the order of the Lord.6 And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth–peor; but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.7 And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dimmed, and his natural force had not abated.8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and then were ended the days of weeping and mourning for Moses.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 had commanded Moses.10 And there arose not a prophet since then in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,11 In respect to all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord had sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,12 And in respect to all that mighty hand, and in all the great terrific deeds which Moses displayed before the eyes of all Israel.
