Ulangan 3:26-27

3:26 But the Lord was angry at me because of you and would not listen to me. Instead, he ¹  said to me, “Enough of that! ²  Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 3:27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and take a good look to the west, north, south, and east, ³  for you will not be allowed to cross the Jordan.

Ulangan 4:21-22

4:21 But the Lord became angry with me because of you and vowed that I would never cross the Jordan nor enter the good land that he ⁴  is about to give you. ⁵  4:22 So I must die here in this land; I will not cross the Jordan. But you are going over and will possess that ⁶  good land.

Ulangan 32:48-52

Instructions about Moses’ Death

32:48 Then the Lord said to Moses that same day, 32:49 “Go up to this Abarim ⁷  hill country, to Mount Nebo (which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho ⁸ ) and look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as a possession. 32:50 You will die ⁹  on the mountain that you ascend and join your deceased ancestors, ¹⁰  just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor ¹¹  and joined his deceased ancestors, 32:51 for both of you ¹²  rebelled against me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the desert of Zin when you did not show me proper respect ¹³  among the Israelites. 32:52 You will see the land before you, but you will not enter the land that I am giving to the Israelites.”

[3:26]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” For stylistic reasons the pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation here.

[3:26]  ² tn Heb “much to you” (an idiom).

[3:27]  ³ tn Heb “lift your eyes to the west, north, south, and east and see with your eyes.” The translation omits the repetition of “your eyes” for stylistic reasons.

[4:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[4:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[32:49]  ⁷ sn Abarim. This refers to the high plateau region of the Transjordan, the highest elevation of which is Mount Pisgah (or Nebo; cf. Deut 34:1). See also the note on the name “Pisgah” in Deut 3:17.

[32:49]  ⁸ map For the location of Jericho see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[32:50]  ⁹ tn In the Hebrew text the forms translated “you will die…and join” are imperatives, but the actions in view cannot really be commanded. The imperative is used here in a rhetorical, emphatic manner to indicate the certainty of Moses’ death on the mountain. On the rhetorical use of the imperative see IBHS 572 §34.4c.

[32:50]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “be gathered to your people.” The same phrase occurs again later in this verse.

[32:50]  ¹¹ sn Mount Hor. See note on the name “Moserah” in Deut 10:6.

[32:51]  ¹² tn The use of the plural (“you”) in the Hebrew text suggests that Moses and Aaron are both in view here, since both had rebelled at some time or other, if not at Meribah Kadesh then elsewhere (cf. Num 20:24; 27:14).

[32:51]  ¹³ tn Heb “did not esteem me holy.” Cf. NIV “did not uphold my holiness”; NLT “failed to demonstrate my holiness.”
