Am I seeing this correctly? Does Moses, just prior to his death, accept the sin that kept him out of the promised land as his own?
Numbers 20:8 "Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congreation and their cattle."
Numbers 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abunduntly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
Numbers 27:12-13 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel. When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to our people as your borther Aaron was, because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes."
Deuteronomy 1:37 Even with me the LORD was angry on your account and said, "You also shall not go in there."
Deuteronomy 3:25 Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon. But the LORD was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the LORD said to me of this, "Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again."
Deuteronomy 31:1-4a So Moses continued to speak these words to all Israel. And he said to them, "I am 120 years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not go over this Jordan.' The LORD your God himself will go over before you.
It seems to me that in the last passage Moses did not include the obligatory mention of the fact that he was being kept out of the promised land because the LORD was angry with the people. Is this an indication that God changed his heart?
