Though it is appointed unto all men once to die, yet precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Observe, Moses is to have such a view of the promised land, as may strengthen his faith in the divine promises. But is there not in all this, strong assurances implied of an everlasting inheritance in the covenant-righteousness of Him, whom Moses beheld in the bush. Thus Abraham may die when he has seen CHRIST'S day afar off. Jacob may die, when he could with holy confidence say, concerning GOD'S CHRIST, I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD! And Moses may die, though not suffered to enter upon an earthly Canaan, when assured of an heavenly one. Genesis 49:18; Genesis 49:18.
