Deuteronomy 3:23-4:2

New International Version

²³ At that time I pleaded^(A) with the Lord: ²⁴ “Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness^(B) and your strong hand. For what god^(C) is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works^(D) you do?^{(E) 25} Let me go over and see the good land^(F) beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.^(G)”

²⁶ But because of you the Lord was angry^(H) with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah^(I) and look west and north and south and east.^(J) Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross^(K) this Jordan.^{(L) 28} But commission^(M) Joshua, and encourage^(N) and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across^(O) and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” ²⁹ So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.^(P)

Obedience Commanded

4 Now, Israel, hear the decrees^(Q) and laws I am about to teach^(R) you. Follow them so that you may live^(S) and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. ² Do not add^(T) to what I command you and do not subtract^(U) from it, but keep^(V) the commands^(W) of the Lord your God that I give you.
