. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. 7. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. Deuteronomy 34:5-7.if Moses wrote the books of Moses how can He say about Himself that He died? did He resurrect also and say 'I died when I was hundred and twenty years old'?

No, he didn't rise and write it. It could have been Joshua who took the writings of Moses and added that to the story. Some of the fist 5 books of the Bible have obviously had a redactor go through them and add notes so that the people who were reading them hundreds of years after they were written could understand them better.
You find sentences that say something like "and so it is until this day" and things like that in various books of the OT.
