he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’
So Israel will live in safety,
prosperous Jacob in security,
in a land of grain and new wine,
while the heavens drop down dew.
How blessed you are, O Israel!
Who else is like you, a people saved
by the Lord?
He is your protecting shield
and your triumphant sword!
Your enemies will cringe before you,
and you will stomp on their backs!”
The Death of Moses
Then Moses went up to Mount Nebo
from the plains of Moab and climbed
Pisgah Peak, which is across from Jericho. And
the Lord showed him the whole land, from Gilead as far as Dan; 2 all the land of Naphtali; the
land of Ephraim and Manasseh; all the land of
Judah, extending to the Mediterranean Sea*;
3 the Negev; the Jordan Valley with Jericho—the
city of palms—as far as Zoar. 4 Then the Lord
said to Moses, “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 now

allowed you to see it with your own eyes, but
you will not enter the land.”
5 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there
in the land of Moab, just as the Lord had said.
6 The Lord buried him* in a valley near Bethpeor in Moab, but to this day no one knows the
exact place. 7 Moses was 120 years old when he
died, yet his eyesight was clear, and he was as
strong as ever. 8 The people of Israel mourned
for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty
days, until the customary period of mourning
was over.
9 Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit
of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on
him. So the people of Israel obeyed him, doing
just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 There has never been another prophet in
Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to
face. 11 The Lord sent him to perform all the miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt
against Pharaoh, and all his servants, and his
entire land. 12 With mighty power, Moses performed terrifying acts in the sight of all Israel.

Samaritan Pentateuch and some Greek manuscripts read They
buried him.
