48 Now (A)the Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying, 49 (B)Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab [a]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 (C)gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, 51 (D)because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the (E)wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. 52 (F)For you will see the land at a distance but (G)you will not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel.”

Instructions Concerning Moses’ Death

48 And Yahweh said to Moses on exactly this day, saying,[a] 49 “Go up to this mountain of the Abarim range, Mount Nebo, which is opposite Jericho,[b] and see the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites[c] as a possession. 50 You shall die on that mountain that you are about to go up there, and you will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor[d] and he was gathered to his people, 51 because of the fact that you broke faith with me in the midst of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the desert of Zin, because you did not treat me as holy[e] in the midst of the Israelites.[f] 52 Yes, from afar you may view the land, but there you shall not enter there, that is, into the land that I am giving to the Israelites.”[g]
