Numbers 34:19

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.

Reuben and Gad and the half- tribe of Manasseh were to have no part in that inheritance.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 34:16-29

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

The order of the tribes is here differing from that Numbers 1:7,Numbers 1:26, and in other places, being here, as also Joshua 16:0; Joshua 17:0; Joshua 18:0; Joshua 19:0 conformed to the order of their several inheritances, which afterwards fell to them by lot; which is an evident demonstration of the infinite wisdom of God’s providence, and of his exact and peculiar care over his people. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Numbers 34:1-29

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Numbers 34:1-29

Numbers 34:2 . This is the land. It was proper to fix the line of the boundaries to prevent war for aggrandizement. It reached from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates, as in Joshua 1:0., and mount Lebanon, and was circumscribed south and east by the desert; yet they never properly possessed more than from Dan, the colony in the north-east, Judges 7:0., to Beersheba. The nations that surrounded them were indeed made tributary to some of the kings of Judah, but never dispossessed of... read more
