Notes

Deuteronomy 34:7

At 120 years old, Moses was still strong and fully able in mind and body. He did not fail to enter Canaan because he died. Instead, he died because he was not allowed to enter Canaan.

Deuteronomy 34:1–12

Moses did not enter the promised land (see study note on 32:51). However, God allowed him to share a moment of glory in the land when the divine glory of Jesus was revealed to others (Luke 9:28–36).
