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

Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.

He 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.

For 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.”

Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

“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.

Die 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;

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