Numbers 33
1. The forty-two journeys of the Israelites
50. The Canaanites are to be destroyed














They set out from Almon-diblathaim
Almon-diblathaim is mentioned as one of the Israelite encampments during their wilderness journey. This location is part of the final stages of their journey before entering the Promised Land. The name itself suggests a place associated with fig cakes, indicating a possible area of agricultural activity or a place known for such produce. This stage of the journey reflects the Israelites' transition from wandering to preparing to enter Canaan, symbolizing a move from dependence on God’s miraculous provision to a life of cultivation and settlement.

and camped in the mountains of Abarim
The mountains of Abarim are a range east of the Jordan River, offering a vantage point over the land of Canaan. This location is significant as it represents the threshold of the Promised Land. The Abarim range is historically and theologically important as it is associated with Moses' final days. It is here that Moses would view the land he would not enter, highlighting themes of promise and fulfillment, as well as the consequences of disobedience. The mountains serve as a place of reflection and anticipation for the Israelites.

facing Nebo
Mount Nebo is a peak within the Abarim range and holds great significance as the place where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. It is a site of prophetic fulfillment, as God had promised Moses he would see the land, though he would not enter it. This moment underscores the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises, even when human leaders fall short. Mount Nebo is also a type of Christ, as Moses, a mediator of the Old Covenant, points to Jesus, the mediator of the New Covenant, who leads His people into the ultimate Promised Land. The view from Nebo symbolizes hope and the future inheritance of God’s people.

Teaching Points
Faithfulness in Transition
The journey to the mountains of Abarim and Mount Nebo highlights God's faithfulness in guiding His people through transitions. As believers, we can trust God during times of change, knowing He has a plan and purpose.

Vision and Promise
Just as Moses was granted a vision of the Promised Land, we are encouraged to seek God's vision for our lives. This involves trusting His promises and being patient for their fulfillment.

Leadership and Legacy
Moses' journey to Nebo marks the end of his leadership. It reminds us of the importance of leaving a godly legacy and preparing others to continue the work God has started through us.

Obedience and Trust
The Israelites' journey required obedience and trust in God's guidance. In our lives, we are called to follow God's direction, even when the path is uncertain.Verse 47. - The mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. The same locality is called "the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the waste," in Numbers 21:20 (see note there, and at Numbers 27:12). Nebo is the name of a town here, as in Numbers 32:3, 38, and in the later books; in Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 32:49; Deuteronomy 34:1) it is the name of the mountain, here included in the general designation Abarim.
