Context of Deuteronomy 3:26
24“O, Lord God, you have begun to show me your greatness and strength. (What god in heaven or earth can rival your works and mighty deeds?) 25Let me please cross over to see the good land on the other side of the Jordan River – this good hill country and the Lebanon!” But the Lord was angry at me because of you and would not listen to me. Instead, he said to me, “Enough of that! Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 27Go up to the top of Pisgah and take a good look to the west, north, south, and east, for you will not be allowed to cross the Jordan. 28Commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, because he will lead these people over and will enable them to inherit the land you will see.”

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 3:26
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26Let 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 the comment
