Moses was allowed in the promised land but he died and went up because he portrayed God as an angry God.Even though he did God's work, Moses was ignorant and was angered because the Israelites whom he rescued from Egypt wher still in disbelief that there was a god.

When they were in need of water they said that God could not help them.God told Moses to take his staph and knock it against a wall and water will flow out but Moses was so angry at the Israelites that he slammed his staph against the wall causing water to rush out.So they feared god in a frightening way not a respectful one.Moses did not go into heaven in a chariot of flames.

A: This is what I understand The Bible to say. Moses did not enter the promised land. He died in the hills of Moab (Deut 32:50 and 34:5).

Moses also predicted this himself. (Deut 4:22)

He ever entered the land because he disobeyed God. Moses was instructed to speak to a rock and water and water would flow out but Moses struck the rock with his staff. (Num20:7-12)

A:Deuteronomy 32:49-52 - "Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel as a possession; and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people; because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel."

Moses' trespass was partly in that he struck the rock rather than speak to it as God told him to; but the greater trespass was in what Moses said at the time:

Numbers 20:10-12 - And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?"Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

Another answer:

Look, it's very simple. There have been no archeological studies that confirm that Moses, let alone existed, but led the slaves out of Israel. So you're answer is, he didn't get the Israelites into Israel because it didn't happen.

Another answer:

Moses was denied entry into the Promised Land because he disobeyed God's command to speak to the rock. Instead, he hit it in anger.

The Scripture says that God would not allow Moses to enter the Promised Land with the Jews. This was when they crossed the Jordan River and entered what is now Isreal. The scripture did not say Moses was not allowed to go to Heaven. Many people use the term "promised land" as a word for "heaven" but in this case this was a real physical place.

A:If there was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, Moses did not enter the promised land, dying before God allowed the Israelites to enter the Promised Land. If, as the strong consensus of scholars says, there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, Moses did not enter the promised land because Moses was not a real, historical person.

It didn't take forty years to get to the promised land. When Moses and the children of Israel got to the border of the promised land the people rebelled because they were afraid to go into the promised land and fight the people who lived there. Israel complained:

Numbers 14:1- 4 All night long the people cried out in distress. They complained against Moses and Aaron, and said, "It would have been better to die in Egypt or even here in the wilderness! Why is the LORD taking us into that land? We will be killed in battle, and our wives and children will be captured. Wouldn't it be better to go back to Egypt?" So they said to one another, "Let's choose a leader and go back to Egypt!"

So God's judgment on them was for Israel to wander forty years in the wilderness:

Numbers 14:22 none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me.

In the Book of Numbers account of the Exodus, Moses sent spies to search the land of Canaan, but the narrative is actually two versions of the same story, by two different authors, blended together in the same book. As a result, there are two different reports about the land of Canaan and two different responses to those reports. In the Yahwist account, the people refused to enter Canaan and plotted to elect a new captain to lead them back to Egypt (Numbers 14:1b, 4). In the Priestly account, Caleb and Joshua tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, but the Israelites responded by calling for them to be stoned.

Either way, the Israelites had refused to enter straight into the Promised Land and their punishment was to wander the desert until the present generation had died. Numbers 14:26-30 says that God told Moses and Aaron that they and all the Israelites from the present generation will die in wilderness, with only Caleb to enter the Promised Land. Numbers 14:30 and 14:38 include Joshua, saying that God would allow Caleb and Joshua from the present generation to enter the Promised Land. In these narratives, Moses was to be punished along with the people.

A separate legend is found in Numbers 20:7-12. Here, Moses is told to speak to a rock while holding his staff, and the rock would give water. Disobediently, Moses hit the rock with his staff, whereupon it gave water. At this point, it seems that the present generation, "this congregation", will go to the Promised Land after all, but God told Moses he would not lead them there.

The claim to infallibility is a sure sign of megalomania and prevarication. The Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, kowtows to no man, and prominently spotlights the faults of even its greatest protagonists. In this regard it is unique in ancient literature.


Moses' sin is mentioned (Numbers 20:12 and 24) again and again (Numbers ch.27, Deuteronomy ch.32). He struck the rock which was, by a miracle of God, made into a source of water (Numbers ch.20). He was supposed to speak to the rock instead (ibid). Striking the rock served to slightly diminish the miracle.

It should be self-understood that this criticism of Moses is only in proportion to his greatness. In the final analysis, he remained the most godly person who ever lived (Deuteronomy ch.34).

What is the difference between moses crossing the red sea and Joshua crossing the Jordan river?

Moses crossed the red sea in order to escape from the Egyptians and slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea, they wandered around for 40 years. At last, they were guided by God to the promised land which they had to cross the Jordan River to enter. Unfortunately Moses died just before they entered the promised land, so the Israelites were guided by Joshua. So the Red Sea: escaping from slavery in Egypt. The Jordan River: entering the promised land.


Did Moses establish Jerusalem as the capital of the Nation of Israel?
