The Death of Moses

«I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.» Deuteronomy 34:4

God had asked Moses to go up to Mount Nebo. From up there, God showed him all the land He would give to the people of Israel, the land He had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob some time ago.

Surely, Moses was delighted to see such a green and beautiful land. But Moses would not enter the land with the people.

After seeing all the land from the top of the mountain, Moses lay down and slept the sleep of death. God Himself buried him. He was 120 years old.

Until his death, Moses never got weak or had poor eyesight. God took care of him all the time and gave him the strength to take care of the people of Israel. He was the meekest man that ever lived, with whom God spoke face to face, and through whom He performed great miracles.

Let’s practice!

Recall with your mom some miracles that God performed through Moses, while leading the people of Israel.
