“I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.”
Let me, I pray you, pass over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain and Lebanon' -- Moses' request is simple and poignant: permission to cross the Jordan and view the land. The 'goodly mountain' (possibly Mount Carmel or Hermon) and 'Lebanon' evoke the fertility and beauty of Canaan. His plea is not for conquest of the land but for the privilege of seeing it.
