Deuteronomy 32:48 In-Context

46 he said to them, "Pay attention to all these warnings I've given you today. Then you will command your children to faithfully obey every word of these teachings.

47 Don't think these words are idle talk. They are your life! By these words you will be able to live for a long time in the land that you are going to take possession of when you cross the Jordan River."

50 On this mountain where you're going, you will die and join your ancestors in death, as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor.
