The Promised Land at Last

Moses is now 112 years old and because of his disobedience to God, striking the rock so that the water would flow out and not speaking to the rock, he is not the person God chooses to bring the Israelites into the Promised Land. God does give Moses a view of the Promised Land though. Moses climbs to the top of Mount Nebo alone and sees how great the land is, that it is indeed flowing with milk and honey and has the largest figs and pomegranates he has ever seen. Moses then dies on Mt. Nebo. The Israelites mourn him for 30 days. Then Joshua, the person chosen by God to be the new leader, brings them into the Promised land.

So for my treat I made ice cream drizzled with honey to represent the milk and honey. I also have pomegranate seeds and fig newtons.
