“And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.”
He said to them: 'I am now one hundred twenty years old; I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, "You shall not cross over this Jordan" — Moses' age ('meyah v'esrim shana') marks completion: forty years leading Israel. Jordan crossing is forbidden him (Numbers 20:11-12).
