Deuteronomy 34 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Deuteronomy 34
1And Moses went up from the table-lands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is facing Jericho. And the Lord let him see all the land, the land of Gilead as far as Dan;
2And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Great Sea of the west;
3And the South, and the circle of the valley of Jericho, the town of palm-trees, as far as Zoar.
4And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.
5So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.
6And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.
7And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.
8For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended.
9And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
10There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord had knowledge of face to face;
11In all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;
12And in all the acts of power and fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
Deuteronomy 34
1Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. The Lord showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
2and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the hinder sea,
3and the Negev, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.
4The Lord said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your seed.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there."
5So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8The 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.
9Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel listened to him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
10There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11in all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord 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 worked in the sight of all Israel.
