Midrash Petirat Moshe (Hebrew: מדרש פטירת משה), also known as The Midrash of the Death of Moses, is one of the smaller midrashim. This midrash describes in great detail the last acts of Moses and his death, at which the angels and God were present. There are several recensions of it, dating to between 7th and 11th centuries.[1] The first, published at Constantinople in 1516[2] begins with a brief exegesis by R. Samuel Naḥmani and R. Tanhuma of the first verse of the pericope "V'Zot HaBerachah" (Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12), closing with its last verses, and doubtless intended for Simhat Torah.[3]
