How Old Was Moses When He Died?

Most translations of the Bible state that Moses was 120 years old when he died. It is believed that Moses died after spending 40 years wandering in the desert, searching for the biblical promised land. Biblical scholars believe that Moses was in sight of the promised land when he died.

Moses is most widely known for being the individual who was given the Ten Commandments by God. He also led the Israelites out of Egypt by crossing the Red Sea. The Israelites set up their base at Mount Sinai, which was the same place where Moses was given the Ten Commandments.
