New Living Translation (NLT)

Deuteronomy 33
²⁵ May the bolts of your gates be of iron and bronze; may you be secure all your days.”
²⁶ “There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor.
²⁷ The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He drives out the enemy before you; he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’
²⁸ So Israel will live in safety, prosperous Jacob in security, in a land of grain and new wine, while the heavens drop down dew.
²⁹ How blessed you are, O Israel! Who else is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your protecting shield and your triumphant sword! Your enemies will cringe before you, and you will stomp on their backs!”
Deuteronomy 34
¹ Then Moses went up to Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab and climbed Pisgah Peak, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land, from Gilead as far as Dan;
² all the land of Naphtali; the land of Ephraim and Manasseh; all the land of Judah, extending to the Mediterranean Sea;
³ the Negev; the Jordan Valley with Jericho—the city of palms—as far as Zoar.
⁴ Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have now allowed you to see it with your own eyes, but you will not enter the land.”
⁵ So Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, just as the LORD had said.
⁶ The LORD buried him in a valley near Beth-peor in Moab, but to this day no one knows the exact place.
