Context of Deuteronomy 4:22
20But the Lord selected you and brought you out of Egypt’s iron furnace to be a people for his inheritance, as you are today. 21“The Lord was angry with me on your account. He swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. I won’t be crossing the Jordan because I am going to die in this land.
