Deuteronomy 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:22

But I must die in this land
The land of Moab, in a mountain in it he died, and in a valley there he was buried, ( Deuteronomy 32:50 ) ( Deuteronomy 34:5 Deuteronomy 34:6 ) ,

I must not go over Jordan;
this he repeats, as lying near his heart; he had earnestly solicited to go over, but was denied it:

but ye shall go over, and possess that good land;
this he firmly believed and assures them of, relying on the promise and faithfulness of God.

Deuteronomy 4:22 In-Context

20 But you are the people the LORD brought out of Egypt, the iron smelter, in order to make you his own people as you still are today.
21 The LORD was angry with me because of you. So the LORD your God took an oath that I wouldn't cross the Jordan River and enter the good land he is giving you as your property.
22 I'm going to die in this land and not cross the Jordan River, but you're going to go across and take possession of that good land.
23 Be careful that you don't forget the promise that the LORD your God made to you. Don't make your own carved idols or statues that represent anything the LORD your God has forbidden.
24 The LORD your God is a raging fire, a God who does not tolerate rivals.
