Deuteronomy 32:45-52 - Moses' Final Instructions

⁴⁵ When Moses had finished addressing all of these words to all Israel, ⁴⁶ he told them, "Take to heart my entire testimony against you today. Command your children to observe carefully every word of this Law, ⁴⁷ because they're not just empty words for you they are your very life. Through these instructions you will live long in the land that you are about to cross over the Jordan River to possess."

⁴⁸ Later that day, the LORD told Moses, ⁴⁹ "Ascend this Abarim mountain range toward Mount Nebo in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and look out over the land of Canaan that I'm about to give to the Israelis as a possession. ⁵⁰ You will die on the mountain that you are about to ascend and be taken to be with your ancestors, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was taken to be with his ancestors. ⁵¹ Both of you acted unfaithfully against me among the Israelis at Meribah-kadesh in the desert of Zin, when you failed to uphold my holiness among the Israelis. ⁵² You'll see the land from a distance, but you won't be able to enter the land that I am about to give to the Israelis."
