Death of Moses on Nebo

From Nebo's summit Moses saw the promised land, and he died there at 120, his eye undimmed (Deuteronomy 34:1-7), at the close of the fortieth year, 1451 BC, the boundary of this era.

📖 Deuteronomy 34:1–3

1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which faces Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan, 2all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, 3the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.
