Deuteronomy 34 #catechesis/bible/deuteronomy
[!abstract] Moses sees the promised land, but is not allowed to go into it. He dies at the age of 120 years. God buries his body secretly, and all Israel mourn for him thirty days. Joshua, replenished with the spirit of God, succeeds. But Moses, for his special familiarity with God, and for most wonderful miracles, is commended above all other prophets.
