46. he said to them, “You must be sure to pay attention to all the commands I tell you today. And you must tell your children to obey completely the commands in this Law.
47. Don’t think these teachings are not important. They are your life! Through these teachings you will live a long time in the land across the Jordan River that you are ready to take.”
48. The Lord spoke to Moses that same day. He said,
49. “Go to the Abarim Mountains. Go up on Mount Nebo in the land of Moab across from the city of Jericho. Then you can look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites to live in.
50. You will die on that mountain. You will go to be with your people, the same as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor.
51. This is because you both sinned against me. You were at the waters of Meribah near Kadesh, in the desert of Zin. There, in front of the Israelites, you did not honor me and show that I am holy.
52. So now you may see the land that I am giving to the Israelites. But you cannot go into that land.”
