Jehovah said to Moses: Go up into the Abarim Mountains, and take a look at the land I will give the Israelites. After you see it, you, too, will join your ancestors in death, as your brother Aaron did. You both rebelled against my command in the Desert of Zin. You did not show the people how holy I am when they were complaining at the oasis. This was the oasis of Meribah at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin.

Jehovah was angry with me because of you. He said to me: 'You will also not go there.

Then I pleaded with Jehovah: O Sovereign Lord Jehovah, you have begun to show me how great and powerful you are. What kind of god is there in heaven or on earth that can do the deeds and the mighty acts you have done? Please let me go over and see the beautiful land on the other side of the Jordan River. Let me see those beautiful mountains in Lebanon.' read more.
Jehovah was angry with me because of you, so he would not listen to me. He said: 'Enough of that! Do not talk to me anymore about this. Go to the top of (Mount) Pisgah, and look west, north, south, and east. You may look at the land, but you will never cross the Jordan River. Joshua will lead Israel across the Jordan to take the land. So help him. Encourage him and strengthen him. Tell him what he must do.' So we stayed in the valley at Beth Peor.

Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day. He said: Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo. It is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho. Look at the land of Canaan. I am giving this to the sons of Israel for a possession. Then die on the mountain you climb. Be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, read more.
You broke faith with me among the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin. You did not treat me as holy among of the sons of Israel. You will see the land at a distance, but you will not go into the land I am giving the sons of Israel.

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. Jehovah showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, and the Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. read more.
Jehovah said: This is the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: I will give it to your descendants. I let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there. Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah. He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor. No man knows his burial place to this day. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated. So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

Moses prayed: O Jehovah our God, source of all life, appoint, I pray, a man who can lead the people and can command them in battle. Do not allow your congregation to be like sheep without a shepherd. Jehovah said to Moses: Take Joshua son of Nun, a capable man, and place your hands on his head. Have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the entire congregation, and there before them all proclaim him as your successor. Give him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him. He will depend on Eleazar the priest, who will learn my will by using the Urim and Thummim. In this way Eleazar will direct Joshua and the whole congregation of Israel in all their affairs. Moses did as Jehovah commanded him. He had Joshua stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation.

He was faithful to Him who appointed him, just as Moses was in His entire house. He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses. This is because the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
