Deuteronomy 32-35

The Promised Land

Chapter 32
Moses teaches the Israelites a song whose lyrics appear in this chapter. In essence, the song exalts God, summarizes what the Lord has done for Israel, predicts how they will turn away from Him, and then details how they will suffer curses as a result of the Lord's "vindiction."

Moses uses this song to warn the Israelites to obey the Lord. If they do,
"By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

God then commands Moses to climb up the mountain to die. Moses will never be able to see the Promised Land because he and Aaron "broke faith with [God] in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin," and because they did not uphold God's holiness among the Israelites.

Chapter 33
Moses then blessed each of the tribes one by one:

Let Reuben live and not die
be Judah's help against his foes
Bless Levi's skills and strike down those who rise against him
Let the beloved of the Lord rest in Benjamin
Many many blessings, both material goods and battle strength, were bestowed upon Joseph
Zebulun will feast on the abundance of the seas
Gad chose the choicest land, and blessed is he who enlarges it
Dan is a lion’s cub, springing out of Bashan
Naphthali will inherit southward to the lake
Asher's strength will equal his days

Blessed are you, Israel!
Who is like you,
a people saved by the LORD?
He is your shield and helper
and your glorious sword.

Chapter 34
Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo and the Lord showed him all the land that the Israelites would inherit. Then, Moses died at the age of 120. The Israelites mourned his death for a month. Joshua, who was filled with the spirit of wisdom from the Lord, took over as leader.

I like the ending . . .

10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 11 who did all those signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. 12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
