Deuteronomy 34

It was a short reading today, and simple: Moses died at the ripe old age of 120, though he himself was still strong. Joshua followed him in the role of leading the Israelites, and we'll hear more of his activities in the next book (which bears his name).

I did find it interesting that the oldest manuscripts of this chapter indicate that God Himself buried Moses, such that the Israelites did not know the exact location of his tomb or grave. That man truly had a close relationship with the Lord.
