Amazingly enough he was 80 years old! Using chronology we can identify this time. At Moses death he was 120 years old (Deuteronomy 34:7). Because of their repeated disobedience and mistrust of God the Israelites were punished and made to wander in the wilderness for 40 years (during that time those disobedient Israelites would die-off only leaving their offspring behind).
Unfortunately, during that 40 year period, in a moment off anger Moses also sinned against God and was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. (Numbers 20:2-12) He died shortly before the nation entered.
So subtracting 40 years from his final age of 120 years we get our answer: 80 years old. Of course he received the strength to accomplish this great task of leading the nation of Israel from God. In fact at Deuteronomy 34:7 it states: "And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death. His eyes had not grown dim, and his vital strength had not fled."

Moses would have been approximately 80 years old. The reason that the age is approximate is that a person can only be 80 years old exactly on his/her birthday. If it is a month after your birthday you are eighty and 1 month old. if it is six months after your birthday you are eighty and six months old. Therefore, Moses was approximately eighty years old.
