¹² But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy^(A) in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”^(B)

³⁷ Because of you the Lord became angry^(A) with me also and said, “You shall not enter^(B) it, either.

²³ I will show the holiness of my great name,^(A) which has been profaned^(B) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,^(C) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy^(D) through you before their eyes.^(E)

¹⁴ for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin,^(A) both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy^(B) before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah^(C) Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)

²⁴ “Aaron will be gathered to his people.^(A) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command^(B) at the waters of Meribah.^(C)

²³ At that time I pleaded^(A) with the Lord: ²⁴ “Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness^(B) and your strong hand. For what god^(C) is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works^(D) you do?^{(E) 25} Let me go over and see the good land^(F) beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.^(G)”

²⁶ But because of you the Lord was angry^(H) with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah^(I) and look west and north and south and east.^(J) Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross^(K) this Jordan.^(L)

²⁰ Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened^(A) in his faith and gave glory to God,^(B)

⁴⁵ Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

²⁰ And now you will be silent and not able to speak^(A) until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
