²⁰ But you belong to the Lord. He brought you out of Egypt, which was like a hot oven where you had much pain. He rescued you, to be his own special people, as you are today.

²¹ The Lord your God became angry with me, because of you. He told me very strongly that I would not go across the Jordan River. He said that I would not go into the good land that he is now giving to you. ²² So I will die here. I will not cross the Jordan River. But you will soon cross over. That good land will belong to you as your home.
