42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh--with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'

 

43 "Praise his people, O you nations; for he avenges the blood of his servants, and takes vengeance on his adversaries, and makes expiation for the land of his people."

 

44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

 

45 And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

 

46 he said to them, "Lay to heart all the words which I enjoin upon you this day, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law.

 

47 For it is no trifle for you, but it is your life, and thereby you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess."


48 And YHVH said to Moses that very day,

 

49 "Ascend this mountain of the Ab'arim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho; and view the land of Canaan, which I give to the people of Israel for a possession;

 

50 and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people;

 

51 because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Mer'i-bath-ka'desh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not revere me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel.

 

52 For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the people of Israel."

Mountains are elevated places of consciousness. Abarim is a range of mountains in Moab (flesh of carnal consciousness). But it rises out of this plane and lifts above it.
