Moses’ genuine love for the Land of Israel is a lesson for all time. Though already informed that he would not enter the Promised Land, Moses sets his heart to pray for God to change His mind. His plea to “see the good Land” highlights his sincere motivation. Moses did not ask to lead the people into the Land of Israel; he was content with passing the reins to Joshua for that. Moses simply wanted to see the Land, to breathe its air, and to experience its goodness. Get more Israel insight into the Bible with The Israel Bible.
