43. Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.
44. Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45. When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46. he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law.
47. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
48. On that same day the Lord told Moses,
49. “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.
50. There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51. This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.
52. Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”
