Deuteronomy 32:52

Yet thou shalt see the land before thee ,.... Which Jarchi interprets, afar off; and so does Noldius F3 Ebr. part. Concord. p. 626. so Ainsworth. ; he saw it at a distance, as the Old Testament saints saw the things promised afar off, and were persuaded of them, though they did not enjoy them, Hebrews 11:13 ,

but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel ; the land of Canaan was a gift of God to Israel, into which they were not to be introduced by Moses, but by Joshua; signifying that eternal life, or the heavenly Canaan, is the gift of God through Christ, the antitype of Joshua, and not to obtained by the works of the law.
