"Despite living to 120, he did not enter the Land of Israel,or the promised land, because he hit the rock twice instead of speaking to the rock" An alternate answer: Moses's function as the deliverer of the Israelites (they weren't "Jews" yet) from Egypt to the promised land had concluded. The Israelites now had to conquer the land - fighting some tribes and making peace with others. This phase required a completely different persona, embodied in the young, charismatic military tactician, Joshua. An alternative to this theory is that Moses had been "building up" the promised land in the imaginations of the Israelites for 40 years. Moses knew that the reality on the ground would be much more difficult and complex. Had Moses crossed the Jordan river with his people, they might have rebelled against him and the LORD for misleading them. This is why a new leader, one that could start with a "clean slate" was needed.

Was Moses denied entry to the Promised Land because he murdered an Egyptian?

It is possible, as the Bible is not completely clear on the purpose of his being prohibited entry. The usual reason proposed, however, is that Moses hit the rock to release water instead of asking it to release water per God's instructions.

Is there a restriction for anyone with a Muslim name entering israel?

Admission to Israel at the border is based on the passport and visas that the traveler is carrying. Travelers with more "Muslim-sounding" names may be subject to increased scrutiny and security checks given that most of Israel's political enemies are Muslims. However, they will not be denied entry on account of being Muslim.

Why was Moses not allowed to enter the Promised Land?

Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because he disobeyed God's command when striking the rock to bring forth water instead of speaking to it as instructed. This act demonstrated a lack of faith and obedience, leading to God's decision not to allow Moses to enter the land.


Where can you not go with your EU passport?

Currently, all countries accept EU passports. However, if you have a stamp from a country B that has bad relations with country C, or vise versa, the country C or B may deny you entry. Example, if you enter Israel, then you cannot enter Iran or some other Arab nations using that passport. Also, if you enter Iran or those Arab nations, you may be denied entry when you go to Israel.
