Summary

In this verse, Moses expresses his desire to cross over the Jordan River into the Promised Land, but God instructs him to instead commission Joshua to lead the Israelites. This moment signifies a transition in leadership from Moses to Joshua, highlighting the importance of following God's guidance and trusting His plans. It also serves as a reminder that God's purposes are greater than our own desires, and obedience to His will is essential for fulfilling His promises. Despite not being able to enter the Promised Land himself, Moses displays humility and faith in God's sovereignty.

3:29 Beth-peor, otherwise known as Baal-peor (see 4:3) or simply Peor (Num 23:28; Josh 22:17), became Moses’ burial place (Deut 34:6). At that place the false prophet Balaam had earlier attempted to curse Israel on behalf of Balak, king of Moab (Num 23:27–24:25).
