21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, 'Your eyes have seen all that YHVH, your god, has done to these two kings; so will YHVH do to all the kingdoms into which you are going over.
22 You shall not fear them; for it is YHVH, your god, who fights for you.'
23 "And I besought YHVH at that time, saying,
24 'O Lord YHVH, thou hast only begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand; for what god is there in the heavens or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as thine?
25 Let me go over, I pray, and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that goodly hill country, and Lebanon.'
26 But YHVH was angry with me on your account, and would not hearken to me; and YHVH said to me, 'Let it suffice you; speak no more to me of this matter.
27 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and behold it with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.
28 But charge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him; for he shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land which you shall see.'
Moses, which means drawing out from the water, represents the Law especially the moral Law. To draw out from the water indicates that it involves the mental preparation for spiritual attainment. It will not enter the Promised Land, but turns that responsibility over to Joshua. Joshua means God is salvation. He represents the awakened consciousness which now takes over control of Body, Mind and Soul, as we continue our spiritual journey. It is the Spiritual Consciousness, represented by Joshua, which, with encouragement and strength, will enable us to enter the Promised Land.
29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-pe'or.
