Deuteronomy 32:48-52

Common English Bible

Moses’ death imminent

⁴⁸ The Lord spoke to Moses that very same day: ⁴⁹ “Hike up the Abarim mountains, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho. Take a good look at the land of Canaan, which I’m giving to the Israelites as their property. ⁵⁰ You will die on the mountain you have hiked up, and you will be gathered to your people just like your brother Aaron, who died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, ⁵¹ because the two of you were unfaithful toward me in front of the Israelites at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the Zin wilderness, because you didn’t treat me with proper respect before the Israelites. ⁵² You can look at the land from the other side of the river,^[a] but you won’t enter there.”^[b]
