Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; he was as strong as ever, and his eyesight was still good.

At the time when they spoke to the king, Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three.

But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the LORD said that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the LORD, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years old

and am just as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out. I am still strong enough for war or for anything else.

Seventy years is all we have--- eighty years, if we are strong; yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow; life is soon over, and we are gone.

I will die in this land and never cross the river, but you are about to go across and occupy that fertile land.

That same day the LORD said to Moses,

You will die on that mountain as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor,

You will look at the land from a distance, but you will not enter the land that I am giving the people of Israel."

But the LORD reprimanded Moses and Aaron. He said, "Because you did not have enough faith to acknowledge my holy power before the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land that I promised to give them."

After you have seen it, you will die, as your brother Aaron did,

I know that I shall soon put off this mortal body, as our Lord Jesus Christ plainly told me.
