Deuteronomy 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

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;
this he firmly believed and assures them of, relying on the promise and faithfulness of God.
