ULB Deu 3:28-29 currently reads:

\v 28 Instead, instruct Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will go over before this people, and he will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.'
\v 29 So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor.

ULB Deu 3:28-29 Suggested changes:

\v 28 Commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead the people over the Jordan and you will see the land he will give them to inherit.'
\v 29 So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor.

The HEB is וְצַ֥ו "and commission" = "Commission ...."

Supply 'over the Jordan', to complete the thought, "lead the people over ..." supplying "the Jordan."
Following these modern versions:
NLT; CEV. Still think supplying the object is helpful especially when English has hidden it from the text. Best case when supply a term is helpful (especially when it is clearly implied in the text).

ESV, NIV, NASB, NRSV, KJV all supply some kind of adversative "but" (NLT "instead") to emphasize that it is Joshua, not Moses, who will "go over."

28 "Instead" vs Ø
God had just told Moses "for you will not go over the Jordan."
ULB is adequate

28 "instruct" vs "commission"
Most versions have "commission" or "charge"
GNT and GWT have "give instructions"
ULB does not have "commission" anywhere.
ULB is adequate

When other versions translate this word as "charge"
sometimes ULB translates it as command" (Gen 26:11; 28:1,6; 42:25),
and sometimes ULB translates it as "instruct" (Gen 49:29,33)

28 "he will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.' vs "you will see the land he will give them to inherit."
All of the version have "the land that you (will) see"
ULB is adequate

28 "cause them to inherit" vs "give them to inherit"
Many versions have "cause/enable them to inherit"
4 have "give"
ULB is adequate
