The death of Moses

In chapter 33 of Deuteronomy, Moses proclaims a final blessing to all of the tribes of Israel.  Then, he goes to each one individually and gives them their own unique blessing.  He ends by saying no god is like their God.  God has always been to their defense, and they should always remember that.

Chapter 34, the final chapter of Deuteronomy, deals with Moses's death.

God shows him all of the land He promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  Then, Moses died and God buried him in the land of Moab.  Joshua was Moses's predecessor.  The Israelites mourned him for 30 days.

No other prophet in the Bible was a great as Moses.  He spoke to God face-to-face, and performed many miracles.
