Deuteronomy
In Deuteronomy, Moses says the LORD was angry with him “because of you” and would not let him cross the Jordan Deuteronomy 3:26. God told him to go up and view the land, but to commission Joshua to lead the people in Deuteronomy 3:27–28. The passage highlights Moses’ denied request and Joshua’s appointment.
23I begged Yahweh at that time, saying,
24Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to your works, and according to your mighty acts?
25Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
26But Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and didn`t listen to me; and Yahweh said to me, Let it suffice you; speak no more to me of this matter.
27Get you up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes: for you shall not go over this Jordan.
28But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.
