~ Moses Blesses the Tribes and Dies ~

This is the blessing that Moses the man of God
pronounced on the Israelites before his death.
He said:

"The Lord came from Sinai
and dawned over them from Seir;
He shone forth from Mount Paran.
He came with myriads of holy ones from the south,
from His mountain slopes.
Surely it is You who love the people;
all the holy ones are in Your hand.
At Your feet they all bow down,
and from You receive instruction,
the law Moses gave us,
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.

Blessed are you O Israel!
Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord?
He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
and you will trample down their high places."

(Deuteronomy 33:1-4, 29)

And Moses the servant of the Lord
died there in Moab,
as the Lord had said.
He buried him in Moab,
in the valley opposite Beth Peor,
but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old
when he died,
yet his eyes were not weak
nor his strength gone.

(Deuteronomy 34:5-7)
