Deuteronomy 3:19-29

19 absque uxoribus et parvulis ac iumentis novi enim quod plura habeatis pecora et in urbibus remanere debebunt quas tradidi vobis
20 donec requiem tribuat Dominus fratribus vestris sicut vobis tribuit et possideant etiam ipsi terram quam daturus est eis trans Iordanem tunc revertetur unusquisque in possessionem suam quam dedi vobis
21 Iosue quoque in tempore illo praecepi dicens oculi tui viderunt quae fecit Dominus Deus vester duobus his regibus sic faciet omnibus regnis ad quae transiturus es
22 ne timeas eos Dominus enim Deus vester pugnabit pro vobis
23 precatusque sum Dominum in tempore illo dicens
24 Domine Deus tu coepisti ostendere servo tuo magnitudinem tuam manumque fortissimam neque enim est alius Deus vel in caelo vel in terra qui possit facere opera tua et conparari fortitudini tuae
25 transibo igitur et videbo terram hanc optimam trans Iordanem et montem istum egregium et Libanum
26 iratusque est Dominus mihi propter vos nec exaudivit me sed dixit mihi sufficit tibi nequaquam ultra loquaris de hac re ad me
27 ascende cacumen Phasgae et oculos tuos circumfer ad occidentem et aquilonem austrumque et orientem et aspice nec enim transibis Iordanem istum
28 praecipe Iosue et corrobora eum atque conforta quia ipse praecedet populum istum et dividet eis terram quam visurus es
29 mansimusque in valle contra fanum Phogor

In this chapter the account is carried on of the conquest of the Amorites by Israel, of Og king of Bashan, and his kingdom, De 3:1-11, and of the distribution of their country to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, De 1:12-17 and then the command to the said tribes is observed, to go out armed before their brethren, and assist them in the conquest of the land of Canaan, and then return to their possessions, De 3:18-20 and also that to Joshua not to fear, but to do to the Canaanitish kings and kingdoms what he had seen done to the two kings of the Amorites, De 3:21,22. After which Moses relates the request he made, to go over Jordan and see the good land, which was denied him, only he is bidden to look from the top of an hill to see it, De 3:23-27. And the chapter is closed with the charge he was to give Joshua, De 3:28 which was received in the valley where they abode, De 3:29.
