Deuteronomy 3:23-29

New International Version

²³At that time I pleaded^(A) with the Lord: ²⁴“Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness^(B) and your strong hand. For what god^(C) is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works^(D) you do?^(E) ²⁵Let me go over and see the good land^(F) beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.^(G)”

²⁶But because of you the Lord was angry^(H) with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. ²⁷Go up to the top of Pisgah^(I) and look west and north and south and east.^(J) Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross^(K) this Jordan.^(L) ²⁸But commission^(M) Joshua, and encourage^(N) and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across^(O) and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” ²⁹So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.^(P)

New King James Version

Moses Forbidden to Enter the Land

²³“Then ^(A)I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying: ²⁴‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant ^(B)Your greatness and Your ^[a]mighty hand, for ^(C)what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds? ²⁵I pray, let me cross over and see ^(D)the good land beyond the Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’

²⁶“But the Lord ^(E)was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. So the Lord said to me: ‘Enough of that! Speak no more to Me of this matter. ²⁷^(F)Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift your eyes toward the west, the north, the south, and the east; behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. ²⁸But ^(G)command^[b] Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.’
