“Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:”
Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance; -- Moses recalls the consequence of the Kadesh rebellion: his exclusion from Canaan. The swearing (oath) makes the penalty irrevocable. Yet even in recounting his exclusion, Moses frames the land as the people's inheritance, not his loss.
