At some point during the 40-years' journey from Egypt to the promised land, Moses committed a sin so grave that he forfeited his right to enter the land, and was only permitted to view it from a high place east of the Jordan river before his death. The exact nature of his sin is a matter of debate. That is, although his actions are spelled out in detail in the Torah, there is no general agreement on exactly which of his actions was the fateful one, or why.

Why did Moses hold his hands when the isrealites were at war?

When Moses held up his hands, the isrealites won. When Moses did not hold up his hands, then the isrealites were defeated. Holding up your hand is a symol of asking God for help. It shows the people that God would give them great victory. Their own strength would not be able to let them win, but believing in God will.


Did Moses make any bad decisions?

Yes. One of Moses' biggest errors in leading Isreal was when God was providing water to the Isrealites. God told Moses to speak to a rock, and that it would become a spring. Moses instead hit the rock with his staff, attempting to show off a bit. Because of this, Moses was not allowed into the Promised Land. He died and was buried on the outskirts. This story is in Numbers 20:2-13.
