12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range and see the land I have given the Israelites.
12 The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel.
12 God said to Moses, "Climb up into the Abarim Mountains and look over at the land that I am giving to the People of Israel.
12 Now the Lord said to Moses: "Go up into this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
12 One day the Lord said to Moses, "Climb one of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Numbers 27:12
Commentary on Numbers 27:12-14
(Read Numbers 27:12-14)
Moses must die, but he shall have the satisfaction of seeing the land of promise. This sight of Canaan signified his believing prospect of the better country, that is, the heavenly. Moses must die, but death does not cut him off; it only brings him to rest with the holy patriarchs. It is but to die as they died, having lived as they lived; and as their end was peace, why should we fear any evil in the passage of that dark valley?
