Numbers 27:12
Hebrew Bible
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land I have given to the Israelites. 13 When you have seen it, you will be gathered to your ancestors, as Aaron your brother was gathered to his ancestors. 14 For in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you rebelled against my command to show me as holy before their eyes over the water—the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.”

Septuagint
12 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go on up into the mountainous region, which is in the region on the other side, that is Mount Nebo, and view the land of Canaan, which I myself am giving to the sons of Israel as a possession. 13 Then view it, and you will be added to your people, even you yourself, just as Aaron, your brother, was added in at Mount Hur, 14 because you transgressed my word in the desert wilderness of Zin, when the congregation refused to sanctify me; you did not sanctify me with regard to the water in their presence; this is the water of strife and controversy at Meribath-kadesh in the desert wilderness of Zin.”

Notes and References
"... Numbers 27:12 ... The Greek version adds “which is Mount Nebo.” This is a typical scribal change to harmonize two passages. The area is in the mountains of Moab; Deuteronomy 34:1 more precisely identifies it as Mount Nebo ..."
