    ⁴⁸The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

    ⁴⁹“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.

    ⁵⁰Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;

    ⁵¹because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.

    ⁵²For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

Deuteronomy calls the mountain Moses goes up Mount Nebo; Numbers calls a town the children of Reuben build Nebo, and 33:47 places the mountains of Abarim “before Nebo.” The text does not say whether the mountain is that Nebo. This collection records Mount Nebo separately and does not decide whether they are the same place.
