Numbers 34
1. The borders of the land
16. The names of the men who shall divide the land














These are the ones
This phrase refers to the specific individuals chosen by God to carry out the task of dividing the land. In the context of Numbers 34, these individuals are Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun, along with a leader from each tribe. The Hebrew word for "ones" here is "אֵלֶּה" (elleh), which is a demonstrative pronoun used to specify particular people or things. This highlights the importance of divine selection and the responsibility placed upon these leaders. It underscores the principle that God appoints specific people for specific tasks, emphasizing His sovereignty and order.

the LORD commanded
The Hebrew word for "commanded" is "צִוָּה" (tzivah), which implies a direct order or instruction from God. This is not a suggestion or a mere guideline; it is a divine mandate. The use of "the LORD" (YHWH) signifies the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. It reminds us that the distribution of the land is not a human decision but a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This command reflects God's faithfulness and His authority over the affairs of His people.

to apportion the inheritance
The term "apportion" comes from the Hebrew root "נָחַל" (nachal), meaning to distribute or divide. The "inheritance" refers to the land of Canaan, which was promised to the descendants of Abraham. This inheritance is not merely a physical territory but a symbol of God's blessing and provision. The act of apportioning the land is a sacred duty, reflecting the fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of Israel as a nation under His guidance.

to the Israelites
The Israelites, or "בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל" (Bnei Yisrael) in Hebrew, are the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. This phrase emphasizes the collective identity of the twelve tribes as God's chosen people. The inheritance of the land is a testament to their unique relationship with God and their role in His redemptive plan. It serves as a reminder of their covenantal obligations and the blessings that come with obedience to God's commands.

in the land of Canaan
Canaan, or "כְּנַעַן" (Kena'an) in Hebrew, is the land promised to the patriarchs and their descendants. It is a region of great historical and theological significance, representing the fulfillment of God's promises. Archaeological evidence supports the existence of Canaan as a distinct cultural and geographical entity during the biblical period. The land of Canaan is not just a physical location but a symbol of God's faithfulness and the realization of His promises to His people. It serves as a foreshadowing of the ultimate inheritance believers have in Christ, the eternal Promised Land.
