Deuteronomy 34: The Death of Moses on Mount Nebo
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 And Moses went up from the table-lands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is facing Jericho. And the Lord let him see all the land, the land of Gilead as far as Dan;

2 And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Great Sea of the west;

3 And the South, and the circle of the valley of Jericho, the town of palm-trees, as far as Zoar.

4 And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.

5 So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.

6 And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.

7 And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.

8 For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.

9 And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord had knowledge of face to face;

11 In all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

12 And in all the acts of power and fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in Deuteronomy 34?
Moses views the promised land from Mount Nebo, dies there in Moab at 120 years old, and is buried in an unknown location; Israel mourns him for thirty days.
Why couldn't Moses enter the promised land according to Deuteronomy 34?
The chapter doesn't give the reason directly, only that the LORD showed him the whole land and told him 'thou shalt not go over thither' (verse 4), consistent with what Moses had already told Israel about himself in Deuteronomy 31:2.
What does Deuteronomy 34:10 mean that no prophet arose like Moses?
It states that no prophet since had known the LORD 'face to face' or performed the signs and wonders Moses did in Egypt, marking him as uniquely close to God among Israel's leaders.

Today's Verse

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

Verse Of The Day

The chapter closes the book of Deuteronomy by declaring that no prophet since has known the LORD face to face as Moses did. His age here matches the number he himself gave in Deuteronomy 31:2, where he first announced he could no longer lead Israel.
