Ulangan 4:21-22

4:21 But the Lord became angry with me because of you and vowed that I would never cross the Jordan nor enter the good land that he ¹  is about to give you. ²  4:22 So I must die here in this land; I will not cross the Jordan. But you are going over and will possess that ³  good land.

Ulangan 31:14

The Commissioning of Joshua

31:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The day of your death is near. Summon Joshua and present yourselves in the tent ⁴  of meeting ⁵  so that I can commission him.” ⁶  So Moses and Joshua presented themselves in the tent of meeting.

[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ² tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[4:22]  ³ tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tc The LXX reads “by the door of the tent” in line with v. 10 but also, perhaps, as a reflection of its tendency to avoid over-familiarity with Yahweh and his transcendence.

[31:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “tent of assembly” (מוֹעֵד אֹהֶל, ’ohel mo’ed); this is not always the same as the tabernacle, which is usually called מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, “dwelling-place”), a reference to its being invested with God’s presence. The “tent of meeting” was erected earlier than the tabernacle and was the place where Yahweh occasionally appeared, especially to Moses (cf. Exod 18:7-16; 33:7-11; Num 11:16, 24, 26; 12:4).

[31:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “I will command him.”
