“And the Lord 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.”
The LORD said to him, 'This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying "I will give it to your descendants"; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over into it' — God's word: the patriarchal oath ('ha-aretz asher nishba'ti'). Vision without possession: Moses 'sees with eyes' ('hitketa ayin') but 'shall not cross' ('lo ta'avor sham').
