    Brief Summary: God's promise to show Moses Israel(Dt03-27a) was fulfilled with a panaromic showing (Dt34-01:03)

Using the verses below, which discuss Moses petition to see the land of Israel, to which he was prohibited from entering, Rashi clarifies that God did indeed answer Moses prayer to see Israel even though God did not rescind the decree prohibiting Moses from entering Israel. Rashi provides further details on God's promise to show Moses Israel by referencing another verse.

Target Verse Text Cross Reference Text Rashi Comment
Dt03-27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes; for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. Dt34-01 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And HaShem showed him all the land, even Gilead as far as Dan; Rashi illumines the underlined words: God promised Moses, who was prohibited from entering Israel, to nevertheless see Israel. God showed Moses Israel from the top of the Pisgah. The verses Dt34-01:03 provide further details since they delineate which places in Israel Moses saw.
