Moses ascends Mount Nebo, sees the Promised Land, then dies; Israel mourns, Joshua inherits leadership, and no prophet matches Moses.
In Deuteronomy 34, Moses climbs to Mount Nebo and views the land he was forbidden to enter. The LORD reminds him that the land belongs to his descendants and that Moses himself will not enter it. Moses then dies at age 120 and is buried in Moab, though his burial site remains unknown. The Israelites mourn him for thirty days in the plains of Moab. Joshua, empowered by Moses' hands, becomes Israel's new leader, and the people obey him. The chapter declares that no prophet since Moses has matched his closeness to God and his miracles.
