Audio Bible Context Moses' Death Foretold…51For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence. 52Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.” Cross References Numbers 20:12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.” Numbers 27:12-14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites. / After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was; / for when the congregation contended in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight regarding the waters.” Those were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin. Deuteronomy 3:23-27 At that time I also pleaded with the LORD: / “O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours? / Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!” ... Deuteronomy 1:37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land. Deuteronomy 4:21-22 The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance. / For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land. Psalm 106:32-33 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them. / For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips. Hebrews 3:16-19 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? / And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? / And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? ... Hebrews 4:1-2 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it. / For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it. Numbers 14:30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. Numbers 14:22-23 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times— / not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it. Joshua 1:2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel. 1 Corinthians 10:5-6 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness. / These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did. 1 Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. Romans 11:20-21 That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. / For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either. Ezekiel 20:15-16 Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands— / because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols. Treasury of Scripture Yet you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel. Deuteronomy 32:49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: Deuteronomy 34:1-4 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho.

Moses' song, which sets forth God's mercy and vengeance46. He exhorts them to set their hearts upon it 48. God sends him up to mount Nebo to see the land, and to die Although you shall see the land from a distance This phrase speaks to the bittersweet moment Moses experiences as he views the Promised Land from afar. The Hebrew word for "see" is "ra'ah," which implies not just a physical sight but a deeper understanding or perception. This moment is significant because it represents the culmination of Moses' leadership journey. Despite his faithful service, he is only allowed to witness the fulfillment of God's promise from a distance. This serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of disobedience, as Moses was barred from entering due to his actions at Meribah (Numbers 20:12). The "distance" symbolizes the separation between the promise and its fulfillment, a theme that resonates with the Christian journey of faith, where believers often see the promises of God from afar, trusting in their eventual fulfillment. you shall not enter the land that I am giving to the children of Israel
