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 Don't look to the skies, to the sun or the moon or the stars, all the heavenly bodies, and be led astray, worshipping and serving them. The LORD your God has granted these things to all the nations who live under heaven.

20 But the LORD took you and brought you out of that iron furnace, out of Egypt, so that you might be his own treasured people, which is what you are right now.

21 The LORD was angry with me because of your deeds and swore that I couldn't cross the Jordan River or enter the wonderful land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

22 I will die here in this land. I won't cross the Jordan River. But you will, and you will take possession of that wonderful land.

23 So all of you, watch yourselves! Don't forget the covenant that the LORD your God made with you by making an idol or an image of any kind or anything the LORD your God forbids,
