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.”

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.”
