Hello people of God, I greet you all if the name of Jesus Christ, and please I need your contribution towards this.
I was reading the book of Numbers how God took the people of Israel out of Egypt, but on their way, they sin against God time without number, but God forgive them by the pleading of Moses. But in chapter 20, Moses sin against God when he struck the rock. The anger of God came upon Moses and Aaron.
Aaron died of the sin of Moses, and Moses died on the mountain of Pisgah.
* Aaron did not sin……
* Moses sin just once….
* The Israelite sin time without number but God have mercy on them.
WHY…..?
While I was typing just now some thing tells me that it is just by grace. God forgives the Israelite because of Moses and His (God) promises…..
I need your contribution please….. and God bless you all.
PUSH,
Ola.
 
Deuteronomy 31:1-2
1 So Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 And he said to them, " I am a hundred and twenty years old today; I am no longer able to come and go, and the LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross this Jordan.'

/\ This is at least partly why Moses didn't enter the Promised land.

Also there was the incodents below.

Numbers 13:1-2,17-31
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses saying,
2 "Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers' tribes, every one a leader among them."
...
17 When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan , he said to them, "Go up there into the Negev; then go up into the hill country.
18 "See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak , whether they are few or many .
19 "How is the land in which they live, is it good or bad ? And how are the cities in which they live, are they like open camps or with fortifications?
20 "How is the land, is it fat or lean ? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, at Lebo-hamath.
22 When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs.
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because * of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
25 When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days,
26 they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Thus they told him, and said, "We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 "Nevertheless *, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 "Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan."
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it."
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us."

Numbers 14:30-31,34
30 'Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 'Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey --I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected .
... 34 'According to the number of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition.

Numbers 20:7-12
7 and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 "Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink."
9 So Moses took the rod from before * the LORD, just as He had commanded him;
10 and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before * the rock. And he said to them, "Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock ?"
11 Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly , and the congregation and their beasts drank.
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
