Deuteronomy 4:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:21

Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes
See ( Deuteronomy 3:26 ) :

and sware that I should not go over Jordan;
this circumstance of swearing is nowhere else expressed:

and that I should not go in unto that good land;
the land of Canaan; he might see it, as he did from Pisgah, but not enter into it:

which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance;
to them and to their children after them.

Deuteronomy 4:21 In-Context

19 And beware lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of his own possession, as at this day.

21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me on your account, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

22 For I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over and take possession of 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 a graven image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
