7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he dyed, his sight was not dimmed, nor his liveliness abated. 8 And the children of Israel mourned for Moses thirty days in the plain of Moab. And after that, the days of mourning and sorrowing for Moses were ended. ⟨p. 1241⟩9 Then Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hand upon him.

For we know that Gods gracious dealings are by and by forgotten, and it is the point wherein §20men do chiefly show their lewdness. For although it be proved to them that God hath helped them, yea even with signs and miracles: yet would they pass it over slightly. In this respect it is said expressly here, that Moses had his liveliness, and all his strength unto the age of a hundred and twenty years.
