Deuteronomy 3:23-29
New American Standard Bible
23 “I also pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24 ‘Lord [a]God, You have begun to show Your servant (A)Your greatness and Your strong hand; for what (B)god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as Yours? 25 Please let me cross over and see the (C)good land that is beyond the Jordan, [b]that good hill country, and Lebanon.’ 26 But (D)the Lord was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me; instead, the Lord said to me, ‘[c]Enough! Do not speak to Me any more about this matter. 27 Go up to the top of (E)Pisgah and raise your eyes to the west, the north, the south, and the east, and see it with your eyes; (F)for you shall not cross over this Jordan. 28 (G)But commission Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, (H)for he shall go across [d]leading this people, and he will give to them, as an inheritance, the land which you will see.’ 29 So we remained in the valley opposite (I)Beth-peor.

Moses Views Canaan from Pisgah
23 “At that time, too, I entreated the Lord, saying, 24 ‘O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your might. What god in heaven or on earth can perform deeds and mighty acts like yours?(A) 25 Let me cross over to see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and the Lebanon.’ 26 But the Lord was angry with me on your account and would not heed me. The Lord said to me, ‘Enough from you! Never speak to me of this matter again!(B) 27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look around you to the west, to the north, to the south, and to the east. Look well, for you shall not cross over this Jordan.(C) 28 But charge Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, because it is he who shall cross over at the head of this people and who shall secure their possession of the land that you will see.’(D) 29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.(E)
