44. Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun.
45. When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
46. he said to them, "Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law.
47. For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life. And by this word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."
48. The Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying,
49. "Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession.
50. Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,
51. because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52. For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel."
