24 “Lord God, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. What god in heaven or on earth can perform deeds and powerful acts like yours?
25 Ah, let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that fine hill country, and the Lebanon!”
26 But the Lord was angry with me on your account and would not hear me. The Lord said to me, Enough! Speak to me no more of this.
27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east. Look well, for you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 Commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for it is he who will cross at the head of this people and he who will give them possession of the land you are to see.
29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
