44
So Moses came with Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45
Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
46
and He said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe--all the words of this law.
47
For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."
48
Then the Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying:
49
"Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel as a possession;
50
and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people;
51
because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel.
52
Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel."
