Moses
Barred from Entering the Land of Promise
As
the Lord was commanding him with regard to the preparation for entering the Promised
Land, Moses asked the Lord, “How about me? Thou oh Lord, Moses intoned, has
begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand; for what God is
there in earth or heaven like unto you? Who can do according to your works and
according to your might?”
“I
pray you, let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that
goodly mountain and Lebanon.”
“But
the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me; and the Lord
said unto me, let it suffice thee and speak no more unto me of this
matter. Get up to the top of Pisgah and
lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see
it with your eyes; for you will not go over the Jordan.”
But
charge Joshua and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall lead this people
over and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shall see.
