“And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.”
And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered — The command to view the land precedes Moses' death. The phrase 'gathered unto thy people' is the ancient euphemism for death. Aaron has already died (Numbers 20:28), and Moses will follow. The second generation will cross into the land under new leadership, without Moses or Aaron. This is the necessary threshold: the old must pass away for the new to arise.
