²³ “And I pleaded with Yahweh at that time, saying, ²⁴ ‘Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong hand, for what^[a] god is there in the heaven or on the earth who can do according to your works and according to your mighty deeds? ²⁵ Let me cross over, please, and let me see the good land that is beyond the Jordan,^[b] this good hill country and Lebanon.’ ²⁶ But Yahweh was very angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me, and Yahweh said, ‘Enough of that from you!^[c] You shall not speak to me any longer about this matter! ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah and look around you^[d] toward the west, toward the north, and toward the east, and view^[e] the land with your eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan. ²⁸ Now instruct Joshua and support him and encourage him because he himself^[f] will cross over before this people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’ ²⁹ So we remained in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
