Deuteronomio 32:49 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 32:49

Get thee up into this mountain Abarim
Which was near in sight, and pointed at; it was a range of mountains, of which see ( Numbers 21:11 ) ( 27:12 ) ( 33:47 ) ;

[unto] Mount Nebo;
which was one of the mountains of Abarim, and had its name either from its height, or a city of this name, to which it was near, see ( Numbers 32:38 ) ; Jerom says ^F2, in his lays it was shown six miles from Heshbon to the east; it should be read, to the west:

which [is] in the land of Moab;
it formerly belonged to it, but was taken from he Moabites by Sihon, and now possessed by Israel:

that [is] over against Jericho;
which lay on the other side of Jordan, in the land of Canaan:

and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of
Israel for a possession;
which he might take a view of from the high mountain of Nebo, especially his sight being strengthened by the Lord, as no doubt it was; and this would give him a pleasure to behold, though he might not go into it, and confirm his faith that Israel would possess it, as well as be an emblem to him of the heavenly Canaan he was going to inherit.

Deuteronomio 32:49 In-Context

47 No son palabras vacías; ¡son tu vida! Si las obedeces, disfrutarás de muchos años en la tierra que poseerás al cruzar el río Jordán».

48 Anuncio de la muerte de Moisés
Ese mismo día, el Señor
le dijo a Moisés:

49 «Ve a Moab, a las montañas que están al oriente del río,
y sube el monte Nebo, que está frente a Jericó. Contempla la tierra de Canaán, la tierra que le doy al pueblo de Israel como su preciada posesión.

50 Entonces morirás allí, en la montaña. Te reunirás con tus antepasados tal como tu hermano Aarón, quien murió en el monte Hor y se reunió con sus antepasados.

51 Pues los dos me traicionaron ante los israelitas en las aguas de Meriba en Cades,
en el desierto de Zin. Allí ustedes no le demostraron mi santidad al pueblo de Israel.
