The Death of Moses
34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo(A) from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah,(B) across from Jericho.(C) There the Lord showed(D) him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,(E) 2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,(F) 3 the Negev(G) and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms,(H) as far as Zoar.(I) 4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath(J) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(K) when I said, ‘I will give it(L) to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross(M) over into it.”
5 And Moses the servant of the Lord(N) died(O) there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6 He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor,(P) but to this day no one knows where his grave is.(Q) 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old(R) when he died, yet his eyes were not weak(S) nor his strength gone.(T)
4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(A) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(B) 5 but now I am going to him who sent me.(C) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(D) 6 Rather, you are filled with grief(E) because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(F) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(G) 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,(H) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(I) because I am going to the Father,(J) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(K) now stands condemned.
