But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and would not listen to me. The LORD said to me, 'That is enough; do not speak to me about this matter anymore.'
Moses is explaining that God refused to let him enter the Promised Land because of the people's disobedience, and told him to stop asking about it.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses is recounting the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and God's faithfulness in giving them victory over their enemies. He reflects on how God became angry with him due to his earlier disobedience at Meribah, where he struck a rock instead of speaking to it as commanded, leading to God's prohibition against him entering the Promised Land. As a result, God firmly tells Moses to stop pleading for a change in that decision.
