      ⁵¹ because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

      ⁵² For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.
