Numbers
34 – God Assigns
God
assigned the tribes their inheritance and set their boundaries, but He used
human leaders to do it.
We
must accept what God assigns to us and not complain or covet what others
possess. Like Canaan, the Christian life is a “land of hills and valleys” Deut. 11:11. Our God is a God of both the
hills and the valley. He knows what is
best for us, and He is always with us.
Numbers
35 – Levite Cities
The
Levites were taken from among the children of Israel instead of all the
firstborn. The Levites belonged to the
Lord. They were not given a section of
the land of Israel, but they were given cities to live in. Of the forty-eight
cities which were assigned to the Levites, six of them were designated as
cities of refuge. A man who had
unwittingly killed a person could flee to the city of refuge. This would save him from mob action or from
the action of some zealous person or relative who might be emotionally torn up
at the time. This gave time for a fair
trial later. The city of refuge did not
apply for the willful murderer.
Numbers
36 – Eternal Possession
The
land was to stay in the tribe, no man could lose his property permanently. At the year of Jubilee, all property which
had been mortgaged reverted back to the original family again. This was a marvelous arrangement which God
made for His people. It was the way He
protected them.
