Deuteronomy 32:52

52 Thou shalt see the land before , but thou shalt not enter into it.

Deuteronomy 32:52 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 32:52

Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]
Which Jarchi interprets, afar off; and so does Noldius ^F3; he saw it at a distance, as the Old Testament saints saw the things promised afar off, and were persuaded of them, though they did not enjoy them, ( Hebrews 11:13 ) :

but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children
of Israel;
the land of Canaan was a gift of God to Israel, into which they were not to be introduced by Moses, but by Joshua; signifying that eternal life, or the heavenly Canaan, is the gift of God through Christ, the antitype of Joshua, and not to obtained by the works of the law.

Deuteronomy 32:52 In-Context

50 and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be added to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.

51 Because ye disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because ye sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.

52 Thou shalt see the land before , but thou shalt not enter into it.
