F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Numbers 34:1-18

the Borders of the Promised Land Numbers 34:1-18 Here are set out the borders of the Promised Land, which were never fully reached in the days of Israel’s occupation, except perhaps for one brief period in Solomon’s glorious reign. God’s ideal for His people far exceeded their realization of it. But is it not always so! Does not His peace pass understanding? Is not His joy unspeakable and full of glory? Does not the love of Christ pass knowledge? Jesus Christ is our inheritance; let us... 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

“ And you shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham; and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its goings out shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders round about.” The first part of the eastern border cannot now be determined, but it soon became the Jordan valley,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 34:1-15

Numbers 34:1-Ezra : (from P). The Boundaries of Israel’ s Possessions in Canaan.— These, as here set forth, are ideal rather than actual, since the area described never wholly belonged to Israel. The S. border extends from the S. end of the Dead (the “ Salt” ) Sea in a SW. direction, having Edom on the SE., and following probably the Wâ dy el Fikreh (in which was “ the ascent of Akrabbim” ) to Kadesh (Ain Kâ dis); there it turns NW. and follows partly the “ brook of Egypt” (Wâ dy el Arî sh)... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Numbers 34:1-29

Chapter 34So as we move into chapter thirty-four, we find the borders of the land described now. In the south, the border of the land was to go down into the Sinai as far as Kadesh Barnea the place where they had come; south from Hebron-or no, actually down around south of Beersheba coming into the land down into the desert. The Mediterranean was to be the border on the west side. On the north side, the mountains of Lebanon at about Achor or Accho, that mountain range of Lebanon that comes... read more

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
