44 Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with [a](A)Joshua the son of Nun. 45 When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “(B)Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you will command (C)your sons to [b]follow carefully, all the words of this Law. 47 For it is not a [c]trivial matter for you; indeed (D)it is your life. And (E)by this word you will prolong your days in the land, [d]which you are about to cross the Jordan to [e]possess.”

48 Now (F)the Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying, 49 (G)Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab [f]opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel as a possession. 50 Then you are to die on the mountain where you ascend, and be (H)gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, 51 (I)because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the (J)wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. 52 (K)For you will see the land at a distance but (L)you will not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel.”
