Deuteronomy 34:1-4

Listen to Deuteronomy 34:1-4
1 Moses climbed from the Plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the peak of Pisgah facing Jericho. God showed him all the land from Gilead to Dan,
2 all Naphtali, Ephraim, and Manasseh; all Judah reaching to the Mediterranean Sea;
3 the Negev and the plains which encircle Jericho, City of Palms, as far south as Zoar.
4 Then and there God said to him, "This is the land I promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the words 'I will give it to your descendants.' I've let you see it with your own eyes. There it is. But you're not going to go in."
