1 And Moses went vp from the plaines of Moab, vnto the mountaine of Nebo, [Note: Or, Hill.] to the top of Pisgah, that is ouer against Iericho: and the Lord shewed him [Note: Deuteronomy 3:27; Genesis 2:4.] all the land of Gilead, vnto Dan,

2 And all Naphtali, and the lande of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Iudah, vnto the vtmost sea.

3 And the South, and the plaine of the valley of Iericho, the citie of palme trees vnto Zoar.

4 And the Lord said vnto him, [Note: Genesis 12:7; Genesis 13:15.] This is the land which I sware vnto Abraham, vnto Isaac, and vnto Iacob, saying, I will giue it vnto thy seed: I haue caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go ouer thither.

5 So Moses the seruant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

[Moses age, death, and successour.]

6 And hee buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, ouer against Beth-Peor: but no man knoweth of his Sepulchre vnto this day.

7 And Moses was an hundred and twentie yeeres olde when he died: his eye was not dimme, nor his [Note: Hebrew: moisture.] naturall force [Note: Hebrew: fled.] abated.

8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plaines of Moab thirty dayes: So the dayes of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

9 And Ioshua the sonne of Nun was full of the Spirit of wisedome: for

[Moses age, death, and successour.]

Moses had layd his handes vpon him, and the children of Israel hearkened vnto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.

10 And there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like vnto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face:

11 In al the signes and the wonders which the Lord sent him to doe in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his seruants, and to all his land,

12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terrour, which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
