Deuteronomy 32:48

Verse 48 of 52. The 32nd of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

44Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

45Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.

46He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

48The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

49“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.

50Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;

51because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.

52For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”
