And Hashem said to Moshe and to Aharon: Because you did not believe in Me to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Yisrael, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land that I have given them.
English: It was taught: it is good for the righteous that favor is not shown them in this world; it was good for Moshe that favor was not shown him in this world, as it is said “because you did not believe in Me” — had you believed, your time to depart this world would not yet have come.
Type of Learning

What Is Learned
Strict accountability for Moshe here is a mark of righteousness, not neglect.
