1). In this verse (Deuteronomy 31:2) Moses tells Israel he is not going into the Promised Land. this was punishment on Moses for his disobedience at Zin/Meribah, This  decision that was given immediately after the disobedience.


a). Numbers 20:7-13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.

20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

20:12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

20:13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.


b). Nowhere in the call of Moses does God ever say that Moses would lead Israel into Canaan. God in his omniscience knew that Moses would not be the one to lead them into Canaan. The bottom line is that Moses was not allowed to lead Israel into Canaan because of his disobedience. Disobedience has consequences.
