Because Moses has just been described as seeking to turn the people from their sin, 29 ff., and it is therefore unreasonable to include him in their punishment; because <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:37-38<\/em><\/span> needlessly anticipate <span class='bible'>Deu 3:26<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Deu 3:28<\/span> and <span class='bible'>Deu 4:21<\/span>; and because <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:39<\/em><\/span> in whole or part follows suitably on <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:36<\/em><\/span>; therefore <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:37-38<\/em><\/span> are taken by many (Dillm., W. R. Smith, Steuern., Berth, etc.) as a later addition to the text. And indeed the beginning of <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:39<\/em><\/span> shows that the original has been disturbed by an editorial hand (see below). Steuern. would also omit <span class='bible'><em> Deu 1:36<\/em><\/span> on the ground that Kaleb has not been previously mentioned in this survey. But Kaleb is mentioned in JE on which this survey otherwise depends. In whatever way these textual questions may be decided, the parallel passages <span class='bible'>Deu 3:26<\/span> ff. and <span class='bible'>Deu 4:21<\/span> confirm the fact of a D tradition or statement that Jehovah was angry with Moses for the people&rsquo;s sake. This can only mean, their guilt was great enough to include the very leader who had done his best to dissuade them from their disaffection! Now neither JE nor P gives any hint of so remarkable a judgement. On the contrary, P accounts for the exclusion of Moses by his own sin in striking the rock at adesh 37 years after this disaffection of Israel, <span class='bible'>Num 21:10<\/span> ff; <span class='bible'>Num 27:13<\/span> f.; <span class='bible'>Deu 32:50<\/span> f. The most reasonable explanation of such discrepancies is that they are discrepancies not of fact but or opinion. The earliest tradition, JE, merely held the facts that Kaleb survived and that Moses died on the eve of the possession of the Promised Land. The problem, which arose from this contrast of fortune, the deuteronomic writers solved by the statement that Moses was included in the guilt of the people when, startled by the report of the spies, they refused to invade Canaan from the S. in the second year of the wandering; and this agrees with the deuteronomic principle of the ethical solidarity of Israel. But the later priestly writer or writers, under the influence of the idea, first emphasized in the time of Jeremiah and Ezekiel (<span class='bible'>Jer 31:29<\/span> f., <span class='bible'>Ezekiel 18<\/span>), that every man died because of his own sin, found a solution for the problem in Moses&rsquo; own guilt in presumptuously striking the rock at adesh, 37 years later. In this double engagement, from two different standpoints, with so difficult a problem, note the strong evidence that the survival of Kaleb and the death of Moses before Israel&rsquo;s entrance to the Land were regarded as irremoveable elements of the early tradition.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><P> <B>Which standeth before thee, <\/B>i.e. who is now thy minister and servant, for such are oft described by this phrase, as <span class='bible'>1Ki 1:2<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Dan 1:5<\/span>,<span class='bible'>19<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: English Annotations on the Holy Bible by Matthew Poole<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><strong>[But] Joshua, the son of Nun, which standeth before thee<\/strong>,&#8230;.
