The Introduction

The book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament. It is named as such because it starts with the census of the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai, which is the focus of the first four chapters. It was written by Moses and is divided into 36 chapters.

The Southern, Western, Northern, and Eastern Borders of the Land Defined

In Numbers 34, the Lord speaks to Moses and commands the children of Israel regarding the land of Canaan. The Lord defines the southern border of the land as the wilderness of Zin, and it extends from the southern end of the Salt Sea (Dead Sea) to Kadesh Barnea. The Western border of the land is described as the Mediterranean Sea, and the Northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the entrance of Hamath. Lastly, the Lord instructed Moses that the Eastern border is to follow the Jordan River, which runs parallel with the Salt Sea.

The Process of Inheritance

Moses commands that the land of Canaan will be inherited by lot. This means that God will choose which tribe will inherit which portion of land, and this process would be done through the casting of lots. The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on this side of Jordan. Eleazar the priest and Joshua will lead the way in dividing the land among the tribes.

The Leaders from Tribes to Divide the Land

Leaders, selected from tribes such as Judah, Simeon, Benjamin, and Dan, are appointed to help divide the land among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. Also chosen were the leaders of the tribes of Manasseh, Ephraim, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher and Naphtali. It was imperative that only those chosen by the Lord were appointed to take on this duty.

The Lord Commanded These Individuals to Divide Inheritance Among Children of Israel in the Land of Canaan

From verses 18-29, the Lord spells out the procedures on how the leaders should allocate the land, as He had instructed them. The land inherited was to be evenly distributed, and each person was to receive an equal portion of land. It was also made clear that those who received more would be responsible for giving to those who received less, ensuring a fair distribution of the land among the people.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Numbers 34 provides a detailed description of the Promised Land, the inheritance procedure, and the leaders appointed by the Lord to divide the land. Throughout this chapter, we see God’s involvement in every aspect of the process of the distribution of the land. This serves as a reminder of the power and sovereignty of our God.
