Deuteronomy 34:4

2 all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the¹ Western Sea,

3 the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, ^athe city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.

4 Then the Lord said to him, ^a“This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ ^bI have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”

5 ^aSo Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but ^ano one knows his grave to this day.

Deuteronomy 34:4

I have caused thee to see it - For tho' his sight was good, yet he could not have seen all Canaan, an hundred and sixty miles in length, and fifty or sixty in breadth, if his sight had not been miraculously assisted and enlarged. He saw it at a distance. Such a sight the Old Testament believers had of the kingdom of the Messiah. And such a sight believers have now of the glory that shall he revealed. Such a sight have we now, of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, which shall cover the earth. Those that come after us shall undoubtedly enter into that promised land: which is a comfort to us, when we find our own carcases falling in this wilderness.
