Moses" Call to Death

He is bidden climb Mt Nebo and view Canaan, and die there like Aaron on Mt Hor, because of his trespass against Jehovah at Ḳadesh. He shall see but not enter the Land.

Which of the two passages is original and which editorial is doubtful. The additions to this one point to its being the later.
