Tap a verse to highlight it

1 And Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which `is' on the front of Jericho, and Jehovah sheweth him all the land -- Gilead unto Dan,

2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the further sea,

3 and the south, and the circuit of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, unto Zoar.

4 And Jehovah saith unto him, `This `is' the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it; I have caused thee to see with thine eyes, and thither thou dost not pass over.'

5 And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of Moab, according to the command of Jehovah;

6 and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his burying place unto this day.

7 And Moses `is' a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.

8 And the sons of Israel bewail Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping `and' mourning for Moses are completed.

9 And Joshua son of Nun is full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the sons of Israel hearken unto him, and do as Jehovah commanded Moses.

10 And there hath not arisen a prophet any more in Israel like Moses, whom Jehovah hath known face unto face,

11 in reference to all the signs and the wonders which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

12 and in reference to all the strong hand, and to all the great 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.

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.
