How does Numbers 34:8 connect with God's covenant promises to Abraham? Numbers 34:8 marks the northern edge of Israel’s inheritance (“from Mount Hor continue to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad”), aligning with God’s earlier oath to Abraham that his descendants would possess land “from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18). Thus, the boundary instruction in Numbers confirms God’s literal fulfillment of His covenant promise of land to Abraham’s offspring. |
