21 ^aAnd I commanded Joshua at that time, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing. 22 You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.’

23 “And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24 ‘O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? 25 Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon.’ 26 But the Lord was angry with me ^bbecause of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, ‘Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. 27 ^cGo up to the top of Pisgah and ^dlift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for ^eyou shall not go over this Jordan. 28 But ^fcharge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for ^ghe shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’ 29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
