Moses Cannot Enter the Promised Land of Israel

Read while you listen

Instead of speaking to the rock to bring forth water for the people, Moses, frustrated with the nation complaining, hit the rock. Holding Moses to the highest standard, G-d rebuked him and did not allow him to enter the Land of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32:48-52

That very day the LORD spoke to Moses: “Ascend… to Mount Nebo… and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their holding.

…You may view the land from a distance, but you shall not enter it—the land that I am giving to the Israelite people.”
