Numbers 34:28 NIV

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 34:1-29

BOUNDARIES OF ISRAEL'S INHERITANCE (vs.1-15) The Lord now defines the boundaries of the land that Israel was to inherit at the time. For the area then was made smaller than it will be in Millennium, when it will extend from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). There is no doubt that all the names and places involved in these boundaries have spiritual significance, but we can only pass them over through lack of needed intelligence. Yet though in glory our own... read more

What suspicion of their motive possessed Moses (Numbers 32:6-15 )? What assurance is given him (Numbers 32:16-19 )? How is the matter closed (Numbers 32:20-27 )? What charge does Moses transmit to his successors (Numbers 32:28-32 )? REVIEW OF THE JOURNEY (Numbers 33:0 ) This chapter may be said to form the winding-up of the history of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Numbers 34:1-29

Boundaries Num 34:1-12 Life is marked all over with boundary lines. Two different views may be taken of such lines, that is to say, in the first place they may be regarded as limitations and partial impoverishments, or, in the next place, they may be regarded as defining rights and liberties, possessions and authorities. Thus, the low view or the high view may be taken of everything in life. Men will work according to their imagination their noblest faculty. Where that is dull, everything... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Numbers 34:1-29

One of the terms of the charge already considered, that the people should possess the land and that it should be divided equitably, was now enlarged upon. The division was to be according to divine arrangement and choice. It must be based as to amount on the comparative needs of the tribes. The divisions given were for those who would pass over into the land beyond Jordan according to the divine purpose. Reuben and Gad and the half- tribe of Manasseh were to have no part in that inheritance.... read more

4). The Leaders Who Will Divide the Land For Them Are Appointed (Numbers 34:16-29 ). The picture is further enhanced by naming the leaders who will see to the dividing up of the land, which are now given. This was a guarantee that within their lifetime the land would be possessed. This was to be no future dream, it was a present hope. They could look to their leader’s tents and see where the one who would actually do this was dwelling. Here was certainty and encouragement sufficient for all.... read more
