Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land.

for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good land.

But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

Behold, I shall die on this soil. I shall not cross over the Jordan. You shall cross it, and you shall possess the singular land.

Ego enim morior in hac terra, neque transeo Jordanem: vos antem transitis, ut possideatis terram istam bonam.

But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but (o) ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
(o) Moses good affection appears in that while he himself is deprived of such an excellent treasure, he does not envy those who must enjoy it.

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,
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.
