Parsha discussion

Question:  How can הר נבו be in מואב if בני ישראל were forbidden to enter that country? Approach: It seems that the rule not to enter מואב was not to fight with them and try to conquer their land. And hence why משה could go to a mountain (seemingly in a border area) to pass away. Perhaps this links in with the famous מדרש that the קברו של משה cannot be physically found.

Question:  30:16 and 30:20 seem to be saying the same thing. What is the difference? Approach: It seems that the first פסוק relates to the element of choice, together with a presentation of the positive consequence of making the right choices. Whereas the final pasuk confirms that the rewards are not just a promise, but will actually happen in practice if the correct path is followed by the people.
