Deuteronomy 34:4

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And Jehovah said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither." — Deuteronomy 34:4 (ASV)

This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: I have caused you to see it. —“That you may go and say to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, The oath which He swore to you, the Holy One, blessed be He! has performed it,” is Raehi’s comment. But in Paradise they scarcely needed Moses to tell them of His faithfulness.
