Speak to Me no longer about this matter. 27'Go up to the top of [Mount] Pisgah and raise your eyes toward the west and north and south and east, and see it with your eyes, for you shall not cross this Jordan. 28'But command Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go across and lead this people, and he will give them the land which you see as an inheritance.' 29"So we stayed in the Valley opposite Beth-peor.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I besought the Lord at that time,....
