Old Testament

The Pentateuch

What happened as the Israelites waited to enter the Promised Land?

Moses spoke to them. He summarized events that had happened to them in the wilderness. Moses confirmed that God kept his promise—the Israelites were indeed more numerous than the stars in the sky. Moses reminded them of their complaints, of God’s patience and impatience, of God’s wrath and God’s provision. Moses reminded them of battles in which they had been engaged, and of the laws which God gave them.
