The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-29

Prayer of Moses . Moses knew that he was not to enter the Promised Land with the people; but, reluctant to relinquish the enterprise which he had so far conducted until he should see it successfully finished, he besought the Lord that at least he might be permitted to cross the Jordan, and see the goodly land. This prayer was presented probably just before Moses asked God to set a man over the congregation to be their leader to the promised land ( Numbers 27:15-17 ); for the command to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-29

God's refusal of man's wishes. We have in this singularly pathetic passage of the private history of Moses— I. AN AFFECTING ENTREATY . "I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land," etc. ( Deuteronomy 3:24 , Deuteronomy 3:25 ). In this speaks 1. The man . How hard to flesh and blood to be cut off just then! To see the goodly land ( Deuteronomy 3:27 ), but not to enter it. Yet not an uncommon experience. Few things are more painful than to be removed when just... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:25

That goodly mountain ; not any mountain specially, but the whole mountain elevation of Canaan, culminating in the distant Lebanon, as it appeared to the eye of Moses from the lower level of the 'Arabah. This was "goodly," especially in contrast with the arid and sunburnt desert through which the Israelites had passed; the hills gave promise of streams that should cool the air and refresh and fertilize the land (see Deuteronomy 8:7 , etc.). Moses longed to go over if but to see this land,... read more

The Lord was wroth , etc. (cf. Deuteronomy 1:37 ; Numbers 20:12 ; Numbers 27:13 , Numbers 27:14 ). Let it suffice thee ; literally, Enough for thee! i . e . either Thou hast said enough; say no more, or Be content; let what I have done, and the grace I have given, be enough for thee (comp. the use of this formula in Genesis 45:28 ; Numbers 16:3 ; Deuteronomy 1:6 ; Deuteronomy 2:3 ). Keil and others refer to 2 Corinthians 12:8 , as" substantially equivalent," but the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 3:14

These Geshurites held territory adjoining, if not included within, Bashan. They are not to be confounded with those mentioned in Joshua 13:2, who were neighbors of the Philistines 1 Samuel 17:8.The exact position of Maachah like that of Geshur cannot be ascertained; but it was no doubt among the fastnesses which lay between Bashan and the kingdom of Damascus, and on the skirts of Mount Hermon.Unto this day - This expression, like our “until now,” does not, as used in the Bible, necessarily... read more
