“I pray thee let me goe ouer, and see the good land that is beyond Iordan, that goodly mountaine and Lebanon.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
3:25 Let me go over - For he supposed God's threatening might be conditional and reversible, as many others were. That goodly mountain - Which the Jews not improbably understood of that mountain on which the temple was to be built. This he seems to call that mountain, emphatically and eminently, that which was much in Moses's thoughts, though not in his eye.
