Context of Numbers 27:12

10And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father’s brethren. 11And if his father shall have no brethren, then ye shall give inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses. And the LORD said to Moses, go up to this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. 13And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 14For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-14Verses 12-14 Moses must die, but he shall have the satisfaction of seeing the land of promise.
