DEUT1729 We should always be happy with the good fortune of others. The Ramban writes: Moshe was shown the entire land that the Jewish people would eventually acquire. Since God realized the great love that Moshe had for the Jewish people, he wanted Moshe to rejoice over their good fortune by enabling him to personally view the land. From the words of the Ramban we see one of the virtuous qualities of Moshe. Although he fervently desired to enter Eretz Yisroel himself, this was denied to him. Most people in Moshe's situation would feel at least a tinge of jealousy that others would attain that which they would not. But Moshe truly loved the Jewish people and felt only joy over their good fortune.
