1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And YHVH showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan,

 

2 all Naph'tali, the land of E'phraim and Manas'seh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,

 

3 the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, as far as Zo'ar.

 

4 And YHVH said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there."

 

5 So, Moses, the servant of YHVH, died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of YHVH,

 

6 and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-pe'or; but no man knows the place of his burial to this day.

 

7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

 

8 And the people of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

Moab means flowing from the father and Nebo means prophet. We are being told that Moses represented the consciousness that comes from YHVH and interprets His Will or is inspired. When he left this plane, he was at a highly developed level of consciousness represented by the mountain.

 

9 And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; so the people of Israel obeyed him, and did as YHVH had commanded Moses.

Joshua means Jah is savior. Joshua is another way of saying that YHVH is our salvation. Joshua is also the Hebrew translation of the Greek Name Jesus.

 

10 And there has not arisen a prophet since, in Israel, like Moses, whom YHVH knew face to face,

 

11 none like him for all the signs and the wonders which YHVH sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,

 

12 and for all the mighty power and all the great and terrible deeds which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.

And so we come to the end of Deuteronomy and the Pentateuch or the Five Books of Moses.
