Context of Deuteronomy 4:22

20But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people of His own possession, as today. 21“Now the Lord was angry with me on your account, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
