Deuteronomy 3:21-29 - The Transfer Of Israel's Leadership
21 "I also charged Joshua at that time, "You witnessed everything that the LORD your God did to the two kings. Indeed, the LORD will do this to all the kingdoms which you are about to enter. 22 You are not to fear them, because the LORD your God will fight for you.'"
23 "I pleaded with the LORD at that time, 24 "LORD God, you've begun to show your greatness and your strong power to your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can equal your works and mighty deeds? 25 Let me cross over that I may see the good land on the other side of the Jordan River the good hill country as well as Lebanon.'
26 "However, the LORD was furious with me because of you. He did not listen to me. Instead, the LORD said, "You are not to speak to me about this matter again! 27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift your eyes toward the west, north, south, and east. Look with your own eyes, since you won't be able to cross this Jordan River. 28 Therefore charge Joshua to be doubly strong, because he will lead this people and cause them to inherit the land that you'll see.' 29 We then encamped in the valley opposite Beth-peor."
