Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H Go Up, Moses Moshe and his successor
Yehoshua taught the people this song. Moshe then charged the
people to pay attention to his words so that they could teach
them to their children. The Torah is their very life and it
alone will enable them to endure in their land. That day, God
told Moshe to ascend Mount N'vo in Moab, from where he could see
the land of Israel. There he would expire and buried, just as
Aharon had been on Mount Hor. The reason Moshe was not being
permitted to enter the land was because of the way he failed to
sanctify God in parshas Chukas (Numbers chapter 20).
