The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:21-29

Prospect of death. In the full career of triumph, Moses has inward presentiment, and external announcement, that his end was near. Nature has a greater repugnance to death when we are enveloped in the bright sunshine of prosperity. The contrast is more marked. Decay and disease are natural forerunners of dissolution; but in Moses these were wanting. With him, the grave men of the trial was that his life-work was incomplete. The closer we approach to the final stroke of an undertaking, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:21-29

Moses' longing to enter the Promised Land refused. The two conquests over Sihon and over Og had filled Moses with a sense of God's matchless power. With a warrior's instinct—for he had had a warrior's training, it is believed, in Egypt, in his youth—he saw in this first portion of the fight the assurance of a glorious invasion. He longed to be at its head, and to see the land which God had promised actually won. Will he not get complete the work he has been instrumental in beginning? He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-29

Prayer of Moses . Moses knew that he was not to enter the Promised Land with the people; but, reluctant to relinquish the enterprise which he had so far conducted until he should see it successfully finished, he besought the Lord that at least he might be permitted to cross the Jordan, and see the goodly land. This prayer was presented probably just before Moses asked God to set a man over the congregation to be their leader to the promised land ( Numbers 27:15-17 ); for the command to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-29

God's refusal of man's wishes. We have in this singularly pathetic passage of the private history of Moses— I. AN AFFECTING ENTREATY . "I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land," etc. ( Deuteronomy 3:24 , Deuteronomy 3:25 ). In this speaks 1. The man . How hard to flesh and blood to be cut off just then! To see the goodly land ( Deuteronomy 3:27 ), but not to enter it. Yet not an uncommon experience. Few things are more painful than to be removed when just... read more

O Lord God : O Lord Jehovah . For what God , etc. (comp. Exodus 15:11 ; Psalms 86:8 ; Psalms 89:6 ; Psalms 113:5 , etc.). "The contrast drawn between Jehovah and other gods does not involve the reality of heathen deities, but simply presupposes a belief in the existence of other gods, without deciding as to the truth of that belief" (Keil). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:25

That goodly mountain ; not any mountain specially, but the whole mountain elevation of Canaan, culminating in the distant Lebanon, as it appeared to the eye of Moses from the lower level of the 'Arabah. This was "goodly," especially in contrast with the arid and sunburnt desert through which the Israelites had passed; the hills gave promise of streams that should cool the air and refresh and fertilize the land (see Deuteronomy 8:7 , etc.). Moses longed to go over if but to see this land,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 3:25

That goodly mountain - i. e., that mountainous district. The fiat districts of the East are generally scorched, destitute of water, and therefore sterile: the hilly ones, on the contrary, are of more tempered climate, and fertilized by the streams from the high grounds. Compare Deuteronomy 11:11.The whole of this prayer of Moses is very characteristic. The longing to witness further manifestations of God’s goodness and glory, and the reluctance to leave unfinished an undertaking which he had... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 3:23-24

Deuteronomy 3:23-24. I besought the Lord We should allow no desire in our hearts, which we cannot in faith offer unto God by prayer. Thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness Lord, perfect what thou hast begun. The more we see of God’s glory in his works, the more we desire to see. And the more affected we are with what we have seen of God, the better we are prepared for further discoveries. read more
