Deuteronomy 32:44-52

English Standard Version

⁴⁴Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and ^(A)Joshua^[a] the son of Nun. ⁴⁵And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, ⁴⁶he said to them, ^(B)“Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, ^(C)that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. ⁴⁷For it is no empty word for you, ^(D)but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”

Moses' Death Foretold

⁴⁸That very day the Lord spoke to Moses, ⁴⁹“Go up ^(E)this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession. ⁵⁰And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as ^(F)Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, ⁵¹^(G)because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. ⁵²For ^(H)you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
