Deuteronomy 34:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:4

And the Lord said unto him
The Word of the Lord, as the Jerusalem Targum, having shown him all the land of Canaan:

this [is] the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed;
to Abraham, ( Genesis 15:18 ) ; to Isaac, ( Genesis 26:3 ) ; to Jacob, ( Genesis 28:13 ) ;

I have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes;
not only had indulged him with a general view of it, but had strengthened his eyesight, that he had a full, clear, and distinct sight of it:

but thou shalt not go over thither;
which he had said more than once before and abides by it, and this because of the behaviour of Moses at the waters of Meribah, ( Numbers 20:12 ) ; see ( Deuteronomy 3:25-27 ) .
