Deuteronomy 32:48-52

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Moses’ Death Foretold

⁴⁸ And the Lord said to Moses that very day, ⁴⁹ “Ascend this mountain of the Ab′arim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho; and view the land of Canaan, which I give to the people of Israel for a possession; ⁵⁰ and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people; ⁵¹ because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Mer′i-bath-ka′desh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not revere me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. ⁵² For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the people of Israel.”
