23 At 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) 25 Let me go over and see the good land(F) beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.(G)

26 But 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. 27 Go 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)

23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,

24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.

27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

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? 25 I 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.

Moses to Die on Mount Nebo

48 On that same day the Lord told Moses,(A) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(B) Range to Mount Nebo(C) in Moab, across from Jericho,(D) and view Canaan,(E) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(F) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(G) on Mount Hor(H) and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh(I) in the Desert of Zin(J) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(K) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(L) you will not enter(M) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”

48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
