Deuteronomy 34 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Deuteronomy 34
1And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And Jehovah showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hinder sea,
3and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar.
4And Jehovah said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5So Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah.
6And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
9And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
10And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face,
11in all the signs and the wonders, which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel.
Deuteronomy 34
1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan,
2all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,
3the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.
4And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”
5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.
6And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not diminished.
8The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
9Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10Since that time, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face—
11no prophet who did all the signs and wonders that the LORD sent Moses to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his officials and all his land,
12and no prophet who performed all the mighty acts of power and awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
