Numbers 34:1-29 - Borders of the land

34:1-29

Not a lot to say on this!

The chapter starts with the outline of the whole Promised Land. This was the land promised to Abraham in Gen 17:8. In broad terms it consists of the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan river, plus what we now call Lebanon and parts of Syria.

The land was to be divided among the tribes of Israel, and then among the clans within those tribes. We get a list of all the tribal chiefs.
