“But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.”
But I shall die in this land, and shall not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land -- the dichotomy is clear: Moses dies in Transjordan; the people cross into Canaan. Moses' exclusion becomes the contrast that highlights the people's privilege. The good land is theirs, not his.
