God sends him up to mount Nebo to see the land, and to die And there on the mountain that you climb This phrase refers to Mount Nebo, where Moses was instructed to ascend. The mountain is located in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. It holds significant geographical importance as it provides a panoramic view of the Promised Land, which Moses was allowed to see but not enter. This ascent symbolizes Moses' final journey and the culmination of his leadership over Israel. The act of climbing the mountain can be seen as a metaphor for Moses' spiritual journey and obedience to God's command. you will die and be gathered to your people just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe central figure in this passage, Moses is the leader of the Israelites who is being instructed by God regarding his impending death. 2. Aaron Moses' brother, who previously died on Mount Hor, serving as a parallel to Moses' own forthcoming death. 3. Mount Nebo The mountain Moses is instructed to climb, where he will die and be gathered to his people. 4. Mount Hor The mountain where Aaron died, mentioned as a point of reference for Moses' death. 5. The Israelites The people Moses has led out of Egypt and through the wilderness, who are on the brink of entering the Promised Land. Teaching Points The Certainty of MortalityMoses' impending death serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death for all people. It encourages believers to live with an eternal perspective, focusing on God's promises and purposes. Faithful Leadership Moses' life exemplifies faithful leadership despite not entering the Promised Land. Leaders are called to be faithful to God's calling, even if they do not see the fulfillment of all their efforts. God's Sovereignty and Timing The timing and manner of Moses' death were determined by God, illustrating His sovereignty over life and death. Believers can trust God's perfect timing in their own lives. Legacy and Influence Moses' legacy continued through the Israelites and the Scriptures. Believers are encouraged to consider the legacy they are leaving and how they can influence future generations for God's kingdom.(50, 51) And die in the mount . . . as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor . . . because ye trespassed against me.--It may be asked why Moses and Aaron should both have been made to ascend a mountain to die. I believe a clue to the reason may be found in the words and act which constituted their transgression. They were bidden to speak to the rock in Kadesh, and they struck it. The words which Moses used on that occasion were, "Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this cliff (Selagh)?" The last words of the sentence are emphatic; and the rock is described as a cliff, not by the name given to the Rock in Horeb (Tz-r). The emphasis laid upon these words has been much discussed by Jewish commentators, though it escapes English readers. I suspect that the mistake Moses and Aaron made, in thinking it needful to strike the cliff, also led them to think it necessary to ascend it, instead of gathering the congregation together beneath it, and speaking to it from below. This view harmonises with the spiritual significance of the act. The smitten Rock in Horeb was Christ; the Cliff not to be smitten in Kadesh pointed also to Christ, ascended now, needing only the prayer of faith to call down all that He will give. And so Moses himself taught, in some of his latest words. "It is not in heaven that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us? . . . But the word is nigh thee, in thy mouth." The impatient words of Moses, after toiling up the cliff with his brother Aaron, had to be recompensed by their ascending mount Hor and mount Nebo to die. Moses, as the more responsible of the two, had to ascend on each occasion, for his brother's death and for his own. The remembrance of his brother's death in the Lord may well have comforted Moses in the prospect of his own. Verse 50. - And be thou gathered unto thy people. "To Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This signifies," saith R. Isaac, "that he should be associated and joined to the souls of the just who are called his people. For the people of Moses were not buried in Mount Abarim, and therefore he doth not speak of gathering his body to their bodies, but of his soul to their souls ('Chissute Emuna,' L 11)" (Patrick). |
