Covenant and promises

2 all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,

3 the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.

And the LORD said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said.

6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave.
