None but Caleb and Joshua was left of those who were numbered at Sinai Then the LORD said to Moses, This phrase indicates a direct communication from God to Moses, a common occurrence in the Pentateuch where Moses serves as the primary mediator between God and the Israelites. This divine communication underscores Moses' unique role as a prophet and leader. The context here is the preparation for entering the Promised Land, following the second census of the Israelites. This census was crucial for organizing the distribution of land among the tribes, as well as for military purposes. The phrase highlights the theocratic nature of Israel's leadership, where God directly guides the nation's decisions and actions. In the broader biblical narrative, Moses is often seen as a type of Christ, serving as a mediator between God and His people. Just as Moses led the Israelites out of physical bondage in Egypt, Christ leads believers out of spiritual bondage. This communication from God to Moses can be seen as a foreshadowing of the intimate relationship between God and Christ, who is the ultimate mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:15). The historical context of this passage is during the Israelites' wilderness journey, after the Exodus from Egypt and before entering Canaan. This period was marked by significant challenges and lessons in faith and obedience for the Israelites. The geographical setting is the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho, where the Israelites were encamped as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In terms of cultural context, the Israelites were transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle to settling in a land promised to their ancestors. This required a shift in identity and understanding of God's promises, as well as practical preparations for dividing and inhabiting the land. The census and subsequent instructions from God were part of this preparation, ensuring that each tribe received its inheritance according to divine guidance. Persons / Places / Events 1.
