3And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 4And Yhwh said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5According to the word of the Lord - It denotes that Moses died, not because his vital powers were exhausted, but by the sentence of God, and as a punishment for his sin. Compare Deuteronomy 32:51.Read the comment
