Moses Dies on Mount Nebo

1 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to aMount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,  
2 all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the1 Western Sea,  
3 the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, athe city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.  
4 Then the Lord said to him, a“This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ bI have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”  
5 aSo 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, opposite Beth Peor; but ano one knows his grave to this day.  
7 aMoses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. bHis eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor2 diminished.

Deuteronomy

DEUTERONOMY, the second law, a title which plainly shows what is the object of this book, namely, a recapitulation of the law. It was given in the form of public addresses to the people; and as Moses spoke in the prospect of his speedy removal, he enforced obedience to it by many forcible appeals to the Israelites, concerning their long and varied experience both of the mercies and the judgments of God. The minute notices of the heathen people with whom they had come in contact, but who afterward disappeared from the pages of history, as well as the accounts of the fertility and products of Canaan, and the counsels respecting the conquest of that country, fix the date of this book and the time of its composition by the hand of Moses. The close, however, must have been added by another; and, indeed, it is supposed by some to have formed the original preface to the Book of Joshua.
