Deuteronomy 34: 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, 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.
Deuteronomy 34:5
¶ 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 Bethpeor: but no
man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
Clearly no team of archaeologists are going to uncover
the burial place of Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:7 ¶
And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye
was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deuteronomy 34:8 ¶
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.
Deuteronomy 34:9 ¶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.
Deuteronomy 34:10 ¶
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.
So ends the first five books of Moses. Now we begin
the historical record of the Israelite invasion of Canaan and the history of early
Israel.
