Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan

21 At that time I commanded Joshua: "You have seen with your own eyes all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms over there where you are going. 22 Do not be afraid¹ of them;² the LORD your God himself will fight³ for you." 23 At that time I pleaded⁴ with the LORD: 24 "O Sovereign LORD, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness⁵ and your strong hand. For what god⁶ is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works⁷ you do?⁸ 25 Let me go over and see the good land⁹ beyond the Jordan--that fine hill country and Lebanon.¹⁰" 26 But because of you the LORD was angry¹¹ with me and would not listen to me. "That is enough," the LORD said. "Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 27 Go up to the top of Pisgah¹² and look west and north and south and east.¹³ Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross¹⁴ this Jordan.¹⁵ 28 But commission¹⁶ Joshua, and encourage¹⁷ and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across¹⁸ and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see." 29 So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.¹⁹
