Deuteronomy 4:22

But I must die in this land
The land of Moab, in a mountain in it he died, and in a valley there he was buried, ( Deuteronomy 32:50 ) ( Deuteronomy 34:5 Deuteronomy 34:6 ) ,

I must not go over Jordan;
this he repeats, as lying near his heart; he had earnestly solicited to go over, but was denied it:

but ye shall go over, and possess that good land;

Deuteronomy 4:22 In-Context

20 But the Lord brought you out of Egypt, which tested you like a furnace for melting iron, and he made you his very own people, as you are now.

21 The Lord was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I would not cross the Jordan River to go into the good land the Lord your God is giving you as your own.

22 I will die here in this land and not cross the Jordan, but you will soon go across and take that good land.

23 Be careful. Don't forget the Agreement of the Lord your God that he made with you, and don't make any idols for yourselves, as the Lord your God has commanded you not to do.

24 The Lord your God is a jealous God, like a fire that burns things up.
