What is the meaning of "va'Hashem His'anaf bi al Divreichem"?
Rashi: 'Because of you and because of issues that concern you (It is because I impinged on your honor.when I said "Shim'u Na ha'Morim" [Bamidbar 20:10] - Yavin Shemu'ah). 1
Ramban #1 (1:37), Targum Onkelos and Targum Yonasan: It means literally 'because of your words' - Because Yisrael complained that they had no water.
Ramban #2: Refer to 1:37:1:1.
Meshech Chochmah: Moshe was beyond nature. If he would bring them into Eretz Yisrael, there is concern that the people would worship him. 2
Daf Al ha'Daf Menachos 41a, citing Pardes Yosef ha'Chadash: Due to Yisrael's complaints about water, Hashem was angry, and due to that, Moshe was punished more severely -as the Gemara says in Menachos 41a: 'An angel declared that when Hashem is angry, people are punished more severely.
Like we find in Chukas Bamidbar, 21:5, "Vayedaber ha'Am b'Ei'lokim u've'Moshe", placing Moshe on a par with His Master (Bamidbar Rabah 19:12). See Oznayim la'Torah, who elabrates.
Why does the Torah need to add "u'Levilti Bo el ha'Aretz'?
Oznayim la'Torah: To include entering the land via north of the Yarden (round the cave of Pamayas) or via the south of the Yarden (round the Yam ha'Melach).
Oznayim la'Torah (citing commentaries): "Levilti Ovri es ha'Yarden refers to during Moshe's lifetime; "u'Levilti Ovri es has'Yarden", to after his death.
