Now, imagine you are standing at the
edge of the Jordan River and the desert
wind is still clinging to your clothes
and the dust of 40 years of wandering is
is caked under the folds of your tents.
Right now, you grew up hearing stories
of Egypt, slavery, and plagues, and
miracles, and redemption. And while your
parents told you these stories first
hand, you personally only know the
wilderness.
Well, now your parents are gone and the
graves of that entire generation stretch
across the desert. Right, and Moses,
Mosha, the man who spoke face-to-face
with God and lovingly led the entire
generation. He was like a father to us.
He's gone now. He left the world. And as
the entire nation is standing at the
edge of the Jordan, the first words of
the new era isn't a eulogy. It's a
command. Koom.
Arise, cross, right, enter.
There isn't really a break between the
huge emotional hit of losing Mosha and
what comes next. One chapter ends, not
only a chapter in the text, but a
chapter in history. One chapter ends and
the next one begins right away.
