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, (<042012>Numbers 20:12); (see <050325>Deuteronomy 3:25-27).
