BSB Berean Standard Bible

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

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,

1 Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead to Dan,

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

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

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

3 and the south, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, 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.”

4 Yahweh said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”

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

5 So Moses the servant of Yahweh died there in the land of Moab, according to Yahweh’s word.

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.

6 He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows where his tomb is to this day.

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

7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his strength gone.

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.

8 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.

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.

9 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. The children of Israel listened to him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

10 Since then, there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh 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,

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

12 and in all the mighty hand, and in all the awesome deeds, which Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 34:9 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)
For it is written, And Jesus the son of Nun was filled with a spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him.
