"Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land, from Gilead to Dan , all Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, the Negev and the whole region from the valley of Jericho, the City of palms, as far as Zoar. Then the Lord said to him: this is the land I promise on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said: I will give it to your descendants. I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over it. (Deut. 34)
