But I must die in this land

I must not go over Jordan;

Deuteronomy 4:22 In-Context

20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Mitzrayim, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Yarden, and that I should not go in to that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance:

22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Yarden; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.

23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

24 For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
