Numbers 34

Numbers 34

1 - 15 The Boundaries of the Land

God tells them where the boundaries of the land are (Dead Sea in East, the ascent of Akrabbim in the south, the Mediterranean in the west, etc.). My notes say "The boundaries of the promised land given here are ideal and do not correspond to Israel's actually boundaries at any time . . . They do, however, correspond to the territory "Canaan" as ruled by Egypt in the second half of the second millennium B.C.E."

16 - 29 Tribal Leaders

Here is the list of Tribal Leaders, of which my notes say only Caleb and Joshua have been mentioned before.
