23 At that time I pleaded with the Lord: 24 "O Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do? 25 Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon."
Deu 3:23
I pleaded with the Lord—We should allow no desire in our hearts, which we cannot in faith offer unto God by prayer.
Deu 3:25
Let me go over—For he supposed God's threatening might be conditional and reversible, as many others were.
That fine hill—Which the Jews not improbably understood of that hill on which the temple was to be built. This he seems to call that hill, emphatically and eminently, that which was much in Moses's thoughts, though not in his eye.
