[See WE 3473-78, treating in general of Exod. 5:20 to 6:9.] 3479. However, certain seemingly opposite passages occur as well, indicating that Moses had still been subject to many weaknesses, and had given in to them. For example, he had not holily given honor to Jehovah at the rock (see the passages, and quote the words [Num. 20:2-13]). And in anger, he had broken the tables of the law, which had been written by the hand of Jehovah (see the passage, and quote the words [Exod. 32:19]). Because of his earlier actions, he was not admitted into the land of Canaan, but died with the others (see the passage, and quote the words [Num. 27:12-14], and then, if it is permitted, tell what they symbolize), still less was he carried up into heaven like Enoch and Elias. From these passages, then, it can be inferred what Moses was like in real life, that is, what he was like in the beginning, when he was called and chosen to lead the people out of Egypt, what he became later on, and finally what he was like at the finish - for every life is judged by its end - and consequently what it means that he was allowed to see the land of Canaan, but not to enter it, Num. 20: verses 11 and 12, Num. 27: verses 12, 13, 14, Deut. Chap. 1, verses 37, 38, 39, Deut. Chap. 31: verses 2 and 3, Deut. Chap. 34: verses 1 to 6, Deut. Chap. 3: verses 23 to 29.* In these passages we read, first,** that Jehovah became angry against Moses on account of the people, though also (as is stated elsewhere) on account of Moses himself, because he did not give honor to Jehovah, either. Many matters are left unmentioned, those only being told that happened at the waters of contention,*** namely, that they did not believe, and Moses did not believe. Thus it was exactly * The original has "13-29." ** The "second" and "third" points are discussed in WE 3480 ff. *** I.e. of Meribah (Exod 17:1-7).
