Core Text

אחרי הכתו. אמר משה אם אני מוכיחם קודם שיכנסו לקצת הארץ, יאמרו מה לזה עלינו, מה היטיב לנו, אינו בא אלא לקנתר ולמצא עלה שאין בו כח להכניסנו לארץ, לפיכך המתין עד שהפיל סיחון ועוג לפניהם והורישם את ארצם ואחר כך הוכיחן.

English: Rashi explains that Moshe waited to rebuke Israel until after Sihon and Og had been defeated and their land given to Israel, so the people could not claim that Moshe had done nothing for them or lacked the power to bring them into the land.
