Please! Let me go across and see the good land on the other side of the Yarden, that wonderful hill-country and the L'vanon!' But Adonai was angry with me on account of you, and he didn't listen to me. Adonai said to me, ‘Enough from you! Don't say another word to me about this matter! Climb up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, north, south and east. Look with your eyes — but you will not go across this Yarden. However, commission Y'hoshua, encourage him and strengthen him; for he will lead this people across and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.' So we stayed in the valley across from Beit-P‘or.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall not fear them,.... On account of the numbers, strength, courage, and gigantic stature of the inhabitants, at least some of them; nor on account of their walled towns, and fortified cities:

for the Lord your God he shall fight for you; as he did, particularly at Jericho, the walls of which city fell at the sound of rams' horns; and at Gibeon, when he cast down hailstones on their enemies, and more were slain by them than with the sword; and in all their battles it was he that gave them success and victory.
