Deuteronomy 3:27 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:27

Get thee up into the top of Pisgah
Which was the highest eminence of Mount Nebo, and so a very proper place to take a prospect from; see ( Deuteronomy 32:49 ) ( 34:1 )

and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and
eastward;
to all the four points of the heaven, and to all the four quarters and borders of the land of Canaan:

and behold it with thine eyes;
even the land of Canaan, and particularly Lebanon, though it lay to the north of it, that mountain he had such a desire to see. Moses, though old, his natural sight was very strong, and not in the least dim; and it is not improbable that it might be more than ordinarily increased and assisted at this time:

for thou shall not go over this Jordan;
into the land of Canaan; this affair, of not being suffered to enter there, Moses frequently takes notice of, no less than four or five times, it being what lay near his heart.

Deuteronomy 3:27 In-Context

25 Please let me cross the Jordan to see the wonderful land on the other side, the beautiful hill country and the Lebanon mountains.’

26 “But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me. ‘That’s enough!’ he declared. ‘Speak of it no more.

27 But go up to Pisgah Peak, and look over the land in every direction. Take a good look, but you may not cross the Jordan River.

28 Instead, commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead the people across the Jordan. He will give them all the land you now see before you as their possession.’

29 So we stayed in the valley near Beth-peor.
