Deuteronomy 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:22

But I must die in this land
The land of Moab, in a mountain in it he died, and in a valley there he was buried, ( Deuteronomy 32:50 ) ( Deuteronomy 34:5 Deuteronomy 34:6 ) ,

I must not go over Jordan;
this he repeats, as lying near his heart; he had earnestly solicited to go over, but was denied it:

but ye shall go over, and possess that good land;
this he firmly believed and assures them of, relying on the promise and faithfulness of God.

Deuteronomy 4:22 In-Context

20 But you are the people he rescued from Egypt, that blazing furnace. He brought you out to make you his own people, as you are today.

21 Because of you the Lord your God was angry with me and solemnly declared that I would not cross the Jordan River to enter the fertile land which he is giving you.

22 I will die in this land and never cross the river, but you are about to go across and occupy that fertile land.

23 Be certain that you do not forget the covenant that the Lord your God made with you. Obey his command not to make yourselves any kind of idol,

24 because the Lord your God is like a flaming fire; he tolerates no rivals.
