How old was Moses when he died?

• A. 120 years
• B. 110 years
• C. 100 years
• D. 130 years

Answer: (A)

Moses died at 120 years old, a fact given in Deuteronomy 34:7. That verse notes his death on Mount Nebo and explicitly states his age as 120, adding that his eye was not dim and his strength not abated. This fits the overall timeline: Moses was 80 when he confronted Pharaoh and began leading Israel, spent 40 years in the wilderness, and then led the people for another 40 years before dying before entering the Promised Land. So 120 is the age the biblical text records at his death. The other ages listed don’t match Scripture’s account of Moses’ lifespan.
