Deuteronomy 3:21-28 KJV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:26

Let it suffice thee - לך רב rab lach , there is an abundance to thee - thou hast had honor enough already, and may well dispense with going over Jordan. He surely has no reason to complain who is taken from earthly felicity to heavenly glory. In this act God showed to Moses both his goodness and severity. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:28

But charge Joshua, etc. - Give him authority in the sight of the people, let them see that he has the same commission which I gave to thee. Encourage him; for he will meet with many difficulties in the work to which he is called. And strengthen him - show him my unfailing promises, and exhort him to put his trust in me alone; for he shall go over before this people, and shall cause them to inherit the land; of this let him rest perfectly assured. read more

Verse 21 21.And I commanded Joshua at that time. He repeats what we have already seen, that he exhorted Joshua together with the whole people to prepare themselves to occupy the land with alacrity, relying as well upon God’s promise, as upon the numerous proofs of His assistance, which were so many pledges of the future continuance of His grace. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:23

Verse 23 23And I besought the Lord. (239) Others have, “I besought;” but I have preferred using the pluperfect tense, because, in my opinion, Moses interrupts himself to show why he had resigned his office to another, and did not rather declare that he would be their leader, as heretofore, and at the same time an example to the people of courage. He says, therefore, that when he had prayed that he might be permitted to enter the land, he received a refusal. For it is not probable that, after he... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:26

Verse 26 26.But the Lord was wroth with me. Some imagine that God was offended by such a longing as this; but Moses is rather giving the reason why he did not obtain what he sought, viz., because he had been already excluded from it. For, although he by no means enters into debate with God, as if he had been unjustly condemned for the faults of others, still he indirectly reflects upon the people, since it was well that they should be all reminded that the punishment which had been inflicted... read more

At that time , i . e . after the conquest of the land on the east of the Jordan (see Numbers 27:12 , etc.). Thine eyes have seen , etc. Joshua was directed to what he had himself witnessed, what his own eyes had seen, in the destruction of Sihon and Og and their hosts, that he might be encouraged to go forward in the course to which he had been called; and the people are reminded of this, that they may keep in mind what God had done for Israel, and may without fear follow Joshua as... read more

Encouragement. We notice: 1. Past mercies are a pledge of future ones. "Thine eyes have seen," etc. 2. The past victories of the Church mirror her future conquests. "So shall the Lord do," etc. 3. The conditions of success in spiritual conflict are read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:21-29

Prospect of death. In the full career of triumph, Moses has inward presentiment, and external announcement, that his end was near. Nature has a greater repugnance to death when we are enveloped in the bright sunshine of prosperity. The contrast is more marked. Decay and disease are natural forerunners of dissolution; but in Moses these were wanting. With him, the grave men of the trial was that his life-work was incomplete. The closer we approach to the final stroke of an undertaking, the... read more
