What does the Bible say about the death of Moses?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible records that Moses died in the land of Moab according to God's command, and the Lord Himself buried him in a secret location.

The Bible provides an account of Moses' death in Deuteronomy 34, illustrating that Moses went up to Mount Nebo where he viewed the Promised Land but was not permitted to enter it. His death is portrayed as being under the sovereignty of God, who determined the time, place, and manner of his passing. Importantly, God buried Moses in a valley in Moab, and the exact location of his grave remains unknown even today. This act emphasizes God's authority and care in both life and death, and serves to prevent the people from idolizing Moses' grave and stalling their progress into the Promised Land.
