Kol Shearith Israel -Panama
Could it be that Moses is, after all, just like anyone of us? Like all those experts who specialize in blaming others?
These questions seem to arise from a passage that appears in Parashat Devarim. At the beginning of his long “racconto” to the young generation, Moses mentions the event of the scouts and the resulting divine punishment, which established that no adult of that generation could enter the Promised Land (Num. 13). And surprisingly enough, he then adds:
“Because of you the Lord was incensed with me too, and He said: ‘You shall not enter it either.’” (Deut. 1:37)
