Numbers 34:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 34:14

12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at ^athe Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”

13 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: ^a“This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.

14 ^aFor the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.

15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

The Leaders Appointed to Divide the Land

16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: ^aEleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 And you shall take one ^aleader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.

19 These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

20 from the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud;

21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

22 a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;

23 from the sons of Joseph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod,

24 and a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

25 a leader from the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;
