Deuteronomy 34:4

“And the Lord said unto him, etc.] 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, (<011518>Genesis 15:18); to Isaac, (<012603>Genesis 26:3); to Jacob, (<012813>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,…”

“I have caused thee to see it - The sight thus afforded to Moses, like that of “all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” Luke 4:5, was no doubt supernatural. return to 'Top of Page'”

“I have caused thee to see it - For tho' his sight was good, yet he could not have seen all Canaan, an hundred and sixty miles in length, and fifty or sixty in breadth, if his sight had not been miraculously assisted and enlarged. He saw it at a distance. Such a sight the Old Testament believers had of the kingdom of the Messiah. And such a sight believers have now of the glory that shall he revealed. Such a sight have we now, of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, which shall cover the earth. Those that come after us shall undoubtedly enter into that promised land: which is a comfort to us, when we find our own carcases falling in this wilderness. Deuteronomy 34:5”

“This is the land: Gen 12:7, Gen 13:15, Gen 15:18-21, Gen 26:3, Gen 28:13; Psa 105:9-11 I have caused: Deu 3:26, Deu 3:27, Deu 32:52; Num 20:12; Joh 1:17 Deuteronomy 34:5”
