25. Let me please cross over to see the good land on the other side of the Jordan River – this good hill country and the Lebanon!”
26. But the Lord was angry at me because of you and would not listen to me. Instead, he said to me, “Enough of that! Do not speak to me anymore about this matter.
27. Go up to the top of Pisgah and take a good look to the west, north, south, and east, for you will not be allowed to cross the Jordan.
28. Commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, because he will lead these people over and will enable them to inherit the land you will see.”
29. So we settled down in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
