Moses views the promised land
1Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, opposite Jericho, and Yahweh showed him the whole land — Gilead as far as Dan, 2all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, 3the Negev, and the plain — the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees — as far as Zoar. 4Yahweh said to him: “This is the land I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross over into it.”
The death of Moses
5So Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab, at the command of Yahweh, 6and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eyes had not grown weak, nor had his vigor left him. 8The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were over.
No prophet like Moses
9Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with a spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him, and the Israelites listened to him and did as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 10Since then, no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face, 11unmatched for all the signs and wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh, all his officials, and his whole land, 12and unmatched for all the mighty deeds and great terrors Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
