Vayelech, 1st Aliya

Moshe’s Last Day

Moshe passed away on the seventh of Adar, which was also his birthday, alluding to him having had a complete life.

On the day of Moshe’s passing, his powers were just as strong as before, however his authority was taken away from him and his powers of transmission closed off from him.

Moshe told them on that day that he was 120 years old and not permitted to continue into the land with them.

He reassures them that G-d and Yehoshua will cross the Jordan river before them to lead them there and that G-d will destroy the nations they are to encounter in the land so the Israelites can take possession of it.
