Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because he smote a rock (for water)TWICE, when he was instructed by God to only smite it ONCE. Joshua becomes the new leader, and is able to enter.
I read that Moses couldn't enter the Promised Land partly because he didn't get the water from the rock in the way God commanded, but also because he basically took credit for it, telling the Israelites, "Must we bring you water out of this rock?" instead of attributing it to the Lord. I'm not sure why Aaron wasn't able to enter and actually had to die before Moses, but maybe it was because he just stood there in support of what Moses was saying & doing and also gave no glory to the Lord for the water He provided.
Moses did not, just like previously stated. Joshua and Caleb did because of their faith. They were the only two that trusted God when it came to taking over the Promised Land and defeating the "giants".

That's great, Bari!
Anyone want to add to that?
Who else was able to enter?
Who else was NOT able to enter?
Disobedience keeps us from entering into God's rest, or, the Promised Land.
