Joshua
What disqualified Moses from inheriting the Promised land?
The Israelites were complaining about lack of water. God told Moses to speak to the rock, and it would produce water. Moses struck the rock twice with his staff in frustration and Aaron and him made it seem like they brought the water, rather than God. So, Moses was allowed to see the land later from Mount Nebo (Deuteronomy 34), but Joshua was appointed to lead Israel into it instead.
