Bible Question: why was canaan called the promised land?why did moses die? |
Bible Answer: Because it was the land which had been promised to Abraham...to the Israelites by GOD,"...a land flowing with milk and honey...". Moses died because it was HIS time appointed by GOD...In Exodus the story of Moses from birth to exile in the desert was 40 years, his exile tro the time he was called by GOD on the Mt. was 40 years, at 80 he was just beginning...they wandered for 40 years at 120 he had just gotten to the Jordan river and sent the spies in to see the land. Then they wandered another 40 years until the generation that refused to go in and possess the land was dead. Moses was 160 y/o on Mt. Nebo(Deut.32:49-52). |
