Samme dag sa Herren til Moses: «Gå opp på Abarimfjellet, Nebofjellet, som ligger i landet Moab, rett overfor Jeriko. Se over til Kanaans land. Der ser du landområdene som Jeg vil gi Israels folk. På fjellet der skal du dø og bli forenet med forfedrene dine, slik broren din Aron døde på fjellet Hor. Dette skal skje fordi dere viste utroskap mot Meg midt iblant Israels barn ved Meribas vann i Kadesj i Sinørkenen, og fordi dere ikke løftet Meg opp, Meg som den eneste hellige midt iblant Israels folk. Men du skal få se landet rett foran deg, selv om du ikke skal få komme inn i det landet som Jeg vil gi til Israels folk.»
