Majority Standard Bible

1 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan,

2 all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,

3 the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.

4 And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give 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 into it.”

5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.

6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.

7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished.

8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

10 Since that time, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face—

11 no prophet who did all the signs and wonders that the LORD sent Moses to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his officials and all his land,

12 and no prophet who performed all the mighty acts of power and awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

KJV

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.

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.

7 And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

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.

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.

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.

Moses' death and what followed it.

1 And Moses passed over from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, unto the top of mount Pisgah, toward Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, even unto Dan.

2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the uttermost sea.

3 And toward the south, and the region of the breadth 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. Thou hast seen it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not pass over.

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 the valley, in the land of Moab, over against the house of Peor. And no man hath known his sepulchre unto this day.

7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes had not grown dim, nor his strength decayed.

8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. And the days of weeping and lamentation over Moses were fulfilled.

9 And Joshua the son of Nun was filled with 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.

10 And there arose no prophet in Israel after the manner of Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.

11 For all manner of signs and wonders, wherewith the LORD sent him to do them in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

12 And to all this mighty hand and great vision, which Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
