15. I gave Gilead to Machir.
16. To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
17. the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
18. I commanded you at that time, saying, “The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it. You shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valour.
19. But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,
20. until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then you shall each return to his own possession, which I have given you.”
21. I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So shall the Lord do to all the kingdoms where you go over.
22. You shall not fear them; for the Lord your God himself fights for you.”
23. I begged the Lord at that time, saying,
24. “Lord the Lord, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do works like yours, and mighty acts like yours?
25. Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.”
26. But the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and didn’t listen to me. the Lord said to me, “Let this satisfy you. Speak no more to me of this matter.
27. Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.
28. But commission 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 shall see.”
29. So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.
