Hebrew Word”To see” : Raah רָאָה resh, aleph, hei  

Deuteronomy 34:4 …“I have let you see with your eyes”…

Tomorrow our All Access Torah Study follows the Parshah Va’etchanan which means “and I pleaded.” The word Va’etchanan has a numerical value of 515 and according the the Midrash Deuteronomy 11:10 Moses prayed 515 times to allow him to enter the Promised Land. But Moses was only allowed to see the land. But what did God allow Moses to see when he viewed the land from the top of Pisgah?
 
It says in Deuteronomy 34:4 “I have let you see with your eyes.” The word “see” in Hebrew is ra’ah in a Hiphil causative form. This suggest he saw more than just land, he saw the future like Martin Luther King in his famous Mountain top speech where he says he saw the future of people coming together, working together.
 
Moses was promised by God that He would take His people to the Promised Land but this was not to be, Moses died just as the people entered the Promised Land, but God did allow Him to see the fruits of his labors in a vision.

There is a legend that George Washington was given a vision by God in Valley Forge when his dream of a new nation seemed hopeless. In that vision God showed him that they would not only win the revolution but that this new nation would become a world power. Washington died before we because a world power nation. Yet, we celebrate George Washington today for leading this nation into its independence to become a world leading power.
 
I read something interesting in the Talmud in Sotah 14a that the very desire to perform a mitzvah, that is to carry out you life’s mission but because of certain situations or circumstances you are unable to fulfill that mission, spiritually, it would be considered as if you had fulfilled that mission.
Paul said in Philippians 3:13 that he forgot those things in the past and he just continued to focus on his mission. There were likely many things that he hoped to accomplished before he died and likely did not but just pursuing his desire to fulfill them God would reckon the future accomplishment, even if performed by someone else, he would still be considered by God as if he performed it.
 
Many of us have a dream of accomplishing something for God, we even feel we have a promise to fulfill that dream. Yet, maybe we will never fulfill that dream, but we can be sure that God looks more at our hearts than our accomplishments.
It is difficult to explain this in just a short posting. Consider joining us on our All Access Learning Channel where we recorded the live class and discussion on this topic. Www.hebrewwordstudy.com
