Torah Question

(1/3) > >>

Sarah:
The Torah was a revelation given to Moses was it not?

Sarah:
Then, why in the Deutronomy is Moses's death mentioned? How could he be speaking of his own death, making reference to the number of years he lived?

Lisa:
The answer to your first question is, yes.

Moses mentions his death because G-d would not allow him to enter the land of Israel.  This was because during one instance when the Israelites were complaining, G-d told Moses to speak to the rock rather than striking it with his staff.  But Moses struck the rod. 

Therefore Moses knew he would not be entering the land of Israel.  Joshua would be the one leading them in his place.

So he knew he was going to pass away?
