So Moses climbed Mount Nebo, as the Lord had commanded, from where he saw the promised land which had been first promised to Abraham hundreds of years earlier. There at 120 years old Moses died and was buried in Moab, though exactly where nobody knew. When Moses died his eyes were not weak nor had his strength gone. The Israelites mourned Moses’ death for a month. It was then Joshua who took up the reins of leadership. He was “filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him”. The book ends remarking that no prophet greater than Moses had ever lived.
