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 when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

20 But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

21 And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

22 But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

23 Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.
