Throughout the Pentateuch, God frequently speaks directly to Moses, underscoring his position as a mediator between God and the Israelites. This divine communication highlights the authority and authenticity of the message.This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob This statement refers to the Abrahamic Covenant, a foundational promise in the biblical narrative. God made a covenant with Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7, 15</a>:18, and 17:8, promising the land of Canaan to his descendants. This promise was reaffirmed to Isaac in <a href="/genesis/26-3.htm">Genesis 26:3</a> and to Jacob in <a href="/genesis/28-13.htm">Genesis 28:13</a>. The land represents not only a physical inheritance but also a spiritual promise of God's faithfulness and the establishment of His people.when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ The promise of land to the descendants of the patriarchs is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, symbolizing God's enduring commitment to His chosen people. This promise is fulfilled in part through the conquest of Canaan under Joshua, as seen in the book of Joshua. It also foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises through Christ, who secures an eternal inheritance for believers (<a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>).I have let you see it with your own eyes Moses is granted a vision of the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, a significant moment that underscores both the fulfillment of God's promise and the consequences of disobedience. Although Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness, he is not permitted to enter the land due to his actions at Meribah (<a href="/numbers/20-12.htm">Numbers 20:12</a>). This sight serves as a testament to God's faithfulness and a reminder of the importance of obedience.but you will not cross into it. This phrase highlights the consequence of Moses' earlier disobedience, as God had decreed that he would not enter the Promised Land (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-51.htm">Deuteronomy 32:51-52</a>). It serves as a sobering reminder of the holiness and justice of God. Moses' inability to enter the land also typologically points to Jesus Christ, who, unlike Moses, perfectly fulfills the law and leads His people into the ultimate Promised Land, the Kingdom of Heaven (<a href="/hebrews/3-3.htm">Hebrews 3:3-6</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks directly to Moses in this passage. 2. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The servant of the LORD, who led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness, but is not permitted to enter the Promised Land. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a> The land of Canaan, which God promised to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their descendants. 4. <a href="/topical/a/abraham,_isaac,_and_jacob.htm">Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob</a> The patriarchs to whom God originally made the promise of the land, representing God's faithfulness across generations. 5. <a href="/topical/m/mount_nebo.htm">Mount Nebo</a> The location from which Moses views the Promised Land, situated in the land of Moab.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_across_generations.htm">God's Faithfulness Across Generations</a> God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is fulfilled despite the passage of time, demonstrating His unwavering faithfulness. <a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_disobedience.htm">The Consequences of Disobedience</a> Moses' inability to enter the Promised Land serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of disobedience, even for a faithful servant of God. <a href="/topical/t/the_vision_of_faith.htm">The Vision of Faith</a> Like Moses, believers are called to trust in God's promises, even if they do not see their fulfillment in their lifetime. <a href="/topical/t/the_sovereignty_of_god.htm">The Sovereignty of God</a> God's plans and purposes transcend individual lifetimes, reminding us to trust in His greater plan. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_spiritual_legacy.htm">The Importance of Spiritual Legacy</a> Moses' leadership and faithfulness set the stage for the next generation to enter the Promised Land, highlighting the importance of leaving a spiritual legacy.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_34.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 34</a> <a href="/q/bible_books'_order.htm">What is the order of the Bible's books?</a> <a href="/q/what_leads_your_heart_to_truth.htm">What does the Bible say about aging?</a> <a href="/q/meaning_of_'quick_to_listen,_slow_to_speak'.htm">How does persistence lead to justice despite indifference?</a> <a href="/q/genesis_12_7__proof_of_land_promise.htm">Genesis 12:7: What tangible proof exists for the promise of land to Abram and his descendants? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/deuteronomy/34.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it.--"That thou mayest go and say to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, The oath which He sware to you, the Holy One, blessed be He! hath performed it," is Raehi's comment.
