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
Moses is recounting to the Israelites how God denied his request to enter the Promised Land. Earlier, Moses had struck a rock in anger instead of speaking to it as God commanded, but he connects this consequence to the people's repeated rebellion. This occurs near the end of the 40-year wilderness journey as Moses prepares the people for entering Canaan without him.
