This is a short chapter highlighting the boundaries of Canaan, the land God is giving to the Israelites. The Lord told Moses, “The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin...Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea….Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run eastward to Mount Hor….The eastern boundary will start at Hazar-enan and run south to Shepham, then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee, and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea.” (Numbers 34:3-12)
Moses then tells the people, “The Lord commands that the land be divided up among the nine and a half remaining tribes. The families of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance of land on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho.” (Numbers 34:13-15)
The chapter ends with the Lord informing Moses that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and a leader from each tribe will divide the land among the people.
Lord, thank you for your Word today! You have given us everything that we need! Help us to give you the glory and remain grateful every day!
“May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
….AND MAY WE ALL PRACTICE THIS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
Thank you, Val! I will take a look. However, please share your knowledge with us all so we are all learning together. Growing God's kingdom is a collective effort, and each of our perspectives add to that growth. You have a lot to say, VBF! I've been waiting for you to break out with your vast knowledge. Don't be shy. LOL!
