It remained until the time of David, Hebrews 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. Hebrews 11:9-10 By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. / For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

What Does Numbers 34:22 Mean Bukki• We meet Bukki in the roster Moses received from the LORD to divide the Promised Land (Numbers 34:16-29). • His very name being recorded reminds us that God values individuals and keeps precise records, just as He does with Bezalel (Exodus 31:2) or Caleb (Numbers 14:24). • Though Scripture doesn’t elaborate further on Bukki’s life, his inclusion in this crucial moment shows that even lesser-known believers serve essential roles in God’s plan. son of Jogli • The verse ties Bukki to his father, Jogli, highlighting covenantal heritage. Lineage mattered because Israel’s land allotment was based on tribal and family lines (Numbers 26:52-56). • This echoes earlier genealogical notes like “Nahshon son of Amminadab” (Numbers 2:3), underscoring that faithfulness often runs through generations (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). • God’s people today still pass down faith and calling—Paul applauds Timothy’s “sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice” (2 Timothy 1:5). a leader • Bukki is singled out as “a leader,” the same Hebrew term used for chiefs who assisted Moses (Numbers 1:16) and the twelve sent to spy out Canaan (Numbers 13:2). • Leadership here is not about status but stewardship. As with Joshua (Numbers 27:18-23), God appoints leaders to serve His people, administer justice, and protect inheritance. • The New Testament mirrors this servant-leadership pattern: elders are charged to “shepherd the flock of God… not lording it over those entrusted to you” (1 Peter 5:2-3). from the tribe of Dan • Dan, Jacob’s fifth son, was prophesied to “provide justice for his people” (Genesis 49:16). Placing a Danite on the allotment committee fulfills that prophetic identity. • The tribe’s territory would lie on the Mediterranean coast (Joshua 19:40-48), but the Danites later sought additional land (Judges 18). Bukki’s role helped establish their first inheritance in faith rather than restless wandering. • Dan often struggled with idolatry (Judges 18:30-31), yet God still entrusted them with responsibility—evidence of His grace and desire to involve every tribe in His unfolding plan. summary Numbers 34:22 shows God appointing Bukki, son of Jogli, from the tribe of Dan, to help parcel out Canaan. Each phrase emphasizes God’s meticulous care: an individual chosen, his lineage honored, his leadership recognized, and his tribal identity affirmed. The verse teaches that every believer—no matter how obscure—is known by name, anchored in family legacy, called to servant leadership, and placed within a community to advance God’s purposes.
