Person

Moses

모세

Son of Amram and Jochebed and brother of Aaron. Called at the burning bush; central to the Exodus and Sinai narratives. In Leviticus 8, as the LORD commanded, Moses assembles the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, washes Aaron and the sons of Aaron with water, clothes them, and sanctifies them by sprinkling on them the anointing oil and the blood which was on the altar; at 9:23 Moses and Aaron go into the Tent of Meeting, come out and bless the people, and the LORD’s glory appears to all the people. In Numbers 27:12–14 the LORD tells him to go up the mountain of Abarim and see the land given to the children of Israel, after which he will be gathered to his people as Aaron his brother was; in 27:22–23 he sets Joshua before Eleazar and all the congregation, lays his hands on him and commissions him. Numbers 33:2 says Moses wrote down the starting points of the journeys of the children of Israel by the commandment of the LORD. Deuteronomy 1:1 opens, “These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah”, and 1:3–5 says that in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them, and began to declare this law beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab. Deuteronomy 34:5–8 says that Moses the servant of the LORD died in the land of Moab, according to the LORD’s word; that “He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows where his tomb is to this day”; that Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died, his eye not dim nor his strength gone; and that the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days.

    • DEU 1:34–40, engwebp

      34The LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying,

      35“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers,

      36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.”

      37Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.

      38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

      39Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

      40But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”

    • DEU 3:26–28, engwebp

      26But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. The LORD said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.

      27Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.

      28But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

    • DEU 4:21–24, engwebp

      21Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;

      22but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.

      23Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

      24For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

  • Deuteronomy 32:51 has the LORD give Moses the reason: “because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.” Numbers 20:12 also has the LORD say to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

    • DEU 32:48–52, engwebp

      48The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

      49“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.

      50Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;

      51because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.

      52For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

    • NUM 20:2–13, engwebp

      2There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

      3The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!

      4Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?

      5Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.”

      6Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.

      7The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

      8“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”

      9Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

      10Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”

      11Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.

      12The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

      13These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

The words of Deuteronomy 1–4 give the people as the cause, while 32:51 and Numbers 20:12 give what happened at the waters of Meribah. This collection does not reconcile the two or decide between them.
