An exhortation to obedience41. Moses appoints the three cities of refuge on that side of Jordan 44. Recapitulation The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you This phrase reflects Moses' acknowledgment of God's anger due to the Israelites' actions. In Numbers 20:10-12, Moses disobeyed God by striking the rock to bring forth water instead of speaking to it, as God commanded. This act of disobedience was influenced by the people's constant complaints and rebellion, which tested Moses' patience. The anger of the LORD here is a reminder of the seriousness of leadership and obedience to God's commands. It also highlights the communal nature of sin and its consequences, as the actions of the people contributed to Moses' failure. 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 Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Obedience to God’s CommandsMoses' experience underscores the importance of strict obedience to God's instructions. Even leaders are not exempt from the consequences of disobedience. The Consequences of Sin Sin can have lasting consequences, not only for the individual but also for those they lead or influence. Moses' inability to enter the Promised Land serves as a sobering reminder. God’s Sovereignty and Justice God’s decision to prevent Moses from entering the Promised Land highlights His sovereignty and justice. God’s plans and purposes are perfect, even when they are difficult for us to understand.

Moses' account is a call for leaders to act with integrity and faithfulness. Hope and Future Promises Despite Moses' personal loss, the promise of the land to the Israelites was fulfilled, demonstrating God’s faithfulness to His promises.(21-23) The Lord was angry with me for your sakes . . . I must die in this land . . . but ye shall go over . . . Take heed unto yourselves.--The argument appears to be this: "I cannot go with you to warn you; therefore take the more heed when you are alone." The same line of thought appears in St. Paul's last appeal to Timothy: "Fulfil thy ministry; for I am now ready to be offered" (2Timothy 4:6).Verses 21-24. - Moses, after again referring to his being not permitted to enter Canaan, takes occasion anew to warn the people against forgetting the covenant of Jehovah and making any image of God, seeing he is a jealous God, and a consuming fire. Verse 21. - The Lord was angry with me... and swore, etc. Neither in Numbers 20:12, nor in Numbers 27:12-14, is there any mention of God's having sworn that Moses should not enter Canaan with the people; but it is absurd to suppose, as some have done, that the writer here has confounded this with what is recorded in Numbers 14:21, 28, - that is inconceivable; and it certainly does not follow, because no mention is made in Numbers of God's having sworn, that he did not swear on this occasion; if he confirmed with an oath his decree that the generation that rebelled at Kadesh should not enter Canaan, the probability surely is that he would do the same when he announced to Moses the decree that he should not conduct Israel into the promised laud. "It is perfectly obvious, from Deuteronomy 3:23, sqq., that all the details are not given in the historical account of the event referred "(Keil). Parallel Commentaries ...
