Deuteronomy 3:23-29

Deuteronomy 3:23-29 NCV

Then I begged the LORD: “Lord GOD, you have begun to show me, your servant, how great you are. You have great strength, and no other god in heaven or on earth can do the powerful things you do. There is no other god like you. Please let me cross the Jordan River so that I may see the good land by the Jordan. I want to see the beautiful mountains and Lebanon.” But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me. The LORD said to me, “That’s enough. Don’t talk to me anymore about it. Climb to the top of Mount Pisgah and look west, north, south, and east. You can look at the land, but you will not cross the Jordan River. Appoint Joshua and help him be brave and strong. He will lead the people across the river and give them the land that they are to inherit, but you can only look at it.” So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
