³⁷ The Lord was angered against me also on your account, and said, You shall not enter there either,^(A)

Moses Excluded from the Promised Land. ^23 (A)It was then that I entreated the Lord, ²⁴ “Lord God, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. What god in heaven or on earth can perform deeds and powerful acts like yours? ²⁵ Ah, let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that fine hill country, and the Lebanon!” ²⁶ But the Lord was angry with me on your account^[a] and would not hear me.^(B) The Lord said to me, Enough! Speak to me no more of this. ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east. Look well, for you shall not cross this Jordan.^{(C) 28} Commission Joshua,^(D) and encourage and strengthen him, for it is he who will cross at the head of this people and he who will give them possession of the land you are to see.

²¹ But the Lord was angry with me on your account^(A) and swore that I should not cross the Jordan nor enter the good land which the Lord, your God, is giving you as a heritage. ²² I myself shall die in this country; I shall not cross the Jordan; but you are going to cross over and take possession of that good land.^{(B) 23} Be careful, therefore, lest you forget the covenant which the Lord, your God, has made with you, and fashion for yourselves against his command an idol in any form whatsoever.^{(C) 24} For the Lord, your God, is a consuming fire, a jealous God.^[a](D)

⁷ Moses was one hundred and twenty years old^(A) when he died, yet his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated.

³ Then the Lord said: My spirit shall not remain in human beings forever, because they are only flesh. Their days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years.
