Moses Sees the Promised Land

Deuteronomy 34:1-12

He led them all the way there. He just couldn't go in.

Moses is 120 years old. His eyes are still sharp, his strength undiminished. He climbs Mount Nebo alone. From the summit, God shows him everything — the full sweep of the Promised Land stretching out in every direction. There is Gilead, there is Dan, there is Naphtali, the land of Judah to the western sea, the Negev, the Jordan valley. This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, God says. I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it. Moses dies there, on the mountain, within sight of everything he'd worked for. God himself buries him.
