Deuteronomy 3:23-29

Modern English Version

²³ I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, ²⁴ “O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness, and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do according to Your works and according to Your might? ²⁵ Let me, I pray, go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that good hill country, and Lebanon.”

²⁶ But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me, and the Lord said to me, “Enough of that! Speak to Me no more of this matter. ²⁷ Get up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes to the west and north and south and east, and see it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. ²⁸ But charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall cross over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.” ²⁹ So we remained in the valley over against Beth Peor.
