Números 27:12-14

Anuncio de la muerte de Moisés

12 El SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:—Sube al monte Abarín y contempla desde allí la tierra que les he dado a los israelitas.

13 Después de que la hayas contemplado, partirás de este mundo para reunirte con tus antepasados, como tu hermano Aarón.

14 En el desierto de Zin, cuando la comunidad se puso a reclamar, ustedes dos me desobedecieron, pues al sacar agua de la roca no reconocieron ante el pueblo mi santidad.Esas aguas de Meribá están en Cades, en el desierto de Zin.
