Why did Moses not enter the “Promised Land?”
Moses was barred from the Promised Land due to an incident in the Desert. The Israelites were wandering in the desert, and had no water. Basically they started complaining against God. God told Moses to speak to a particular rock and it would give water. Instead, he got shirty with the Israelites and struck the rock, and said something that didn’t glorify God. For that disobedience, God banned him from seeing the Promised Land. See Numbers chapter 20 in the bible for the full story.
