THE MESSAGE
At that same time, I begged God : " God , my Master, you let me in on the beginnings, you let me see your greatness, you let me see your might—what god in Heaven or Earth can do anything like what you've done!

New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

21And at that time I commanded Joshua: "Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter. 22Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you." 23At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:24"O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours? 25Please let me cross over and see the beautiful land beyond the Jordan-that wonderful hill country and Lebanon!" 26But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. "That is enough," the LORD said to me. "Do not speak to Me again about this matter. 27Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan. 28But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see." 29So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I besought the Lord at that time,.... When he was told he should die, and Joshua should succeed him; or when the two kings were slain, and their kingdoms conquered; this being the beginning, pledge, and earnest of what God had promised to do for the people of Israel; Moses was very desirous of living to see the work completed, and therefore sought the Lord by prayer and supplication:

saying; as follows.
