And I prayed to Jehovah for favor at that time, saying,

Lord Jehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand (for who is a god in the heavens or in the earth who can do according to Your works and according to Your might?)

Please let me pass over and see the good land which is beyond the Jordan, this good hill country, and Lebanon.

But Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. And Jehovah said to me, Let it be enough for you; do not speak any more to Me about this thing.

Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not cross over this Jordan.

And command Joshua and make him strong, and make him brave, for he shall cross over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.

So we stayed in the valley across from Beth-peor.
