THE DEATH OF MOSES

The Death of Moses

Deuteronomy 34:1-12

Today I'm 120 years old Moses told Israel

The Lord has said that I'll not go into

Canaan. So the time has come for me to

die. But the Lord will go into land with you.

So be strong and brave and always keep God's

law. The Lord will not fail nor leave you.

Moses then went into the tabernacle to God. The

pillar of cloud stood over the door the tent.

That day Moses left the camp alone. He slowly

climbed to the top of Mount Nebo. There is

the land I promised to Abraham Isaac and

Jacob You can look at it from here but you can't

go in and Moses gazed at the promised but across the river.

Moses was still strong and his eyes were good.

But he lay down on the mountain and died just as

God wanted. No one was there to bury him, so

God did the job. No one knows where he is

buried. There was never again anyone like Moses.

The  Lord knew him face-to-face. And Israel

mourned for thirty days.
