Numbers 36: ...in the Plains of Moab

The major portion of their journey was due to the unbelief of the generation that was freed from Egypt by Jehovah of Hosts (Numbers 13-14). Now, the second generation has arrived at the very edge of the goal—the promised land. Laws, statutes, commandments, and the judgments of the Lord have been given to cover all sorts of situations. He has not forgotten anything or failed anyone. They should be ready to take the land and possess it in faithfulness. This last chapter is a protection designed to keep each tribe’s inheritance from being transferred to another tribe. This plan shows the wisdom and fairness of God. We should not be surprised to learn again that He Who is God is also wise and fair.
