Numbers 34:19 Summary

This verse tells us about Caleb, a leader from the tribe of Judah, who was chosen to help distribute the land to the Israelites. Caleb was a brave and faithful man, as we see in Numbers 13:30 and Numbers 14:24, where he trusted God and encouraged the others to enter the Promised Land. We can learn from Caleb's example by trusting God's plan for our lives and being willing to serve and lead others, just like Jesus taught us to serve one another in Matthew 20:26-28. By following Caleb's example, we can demonstrate our faith and humility, and trust God to guide us in our own lives, just as He guided the Israelites in the wilderness.

Gill's Exposition on Numbers 34:19

Ver. 19-28. And the names of the men are these,.... Which were not left to the tribes to choose, but were nominated by the Lord himself, who best knew their capacities and qualifications for this

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 34:19

These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. Names of the men which shall divide the land.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 34:19

The order of the tribes is here differing from that ,26, and in other places, being here, as also Joshua 16 Joshua 17 Joshua 18 Joshua 19 conformed to the order of their several inheritances, which afterwards fell to them by lot; which is an evident demonstration of the infinite wisdom of God’ s providence, and of his exact and peculiar care over his people.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Numbers 34:19

Verse 19. - c. And the names of the men - are these] It is worthy of remark that Moses does not follow any order hitherto used of placing the tribes, neither that in chap. i., nor that in chap. vii., nor that in chap. xxvi., nor any other but places them here exactly in that order in which they possessed the land. 1. Judah; 2. Simeon; 3. Benjamin; 4. Dan; 5. Manasseh; 6. Ephraim; 7. Zebulun; 8. Issachar; 9. Asher; 10. Naphtali. Judah is first, having the first lot; and he dwelt in the south part of the land, Joshua 15:1, c. and next to him Simeon, because his inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah, Joshua 19:1. Benjamin was third; he had his inheritance by Judah, between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph, Joshua 18:11. Dan was the fourth; his lot fell westward of that of Benjamin, in the country of the Philistines, as may be seen in Joshua 19:40-41, c. Fifth, Manasseh and sixth, by him, his brother Ephraim, whose inheritances were behind that of Benjamin, Joshua 16:7. Next to these dwelt, seventh, Zebulun; and eighth, Issachar; concerning whose lots see Joshua 19:10-17. Ninth, Asher; and tenth, Naphtali; see Joshua 19:24; Joshua 19:32, c. And as in encamping about the tabernacle they were arranged according to their fraternal relationship, (see Numbers 2:1-31), so they were in the division and inheriting of the promised land. Judah and Simeon, both sons of Leah, dwelt abreast of each other. Benjamin, son of Rachel, and Dan, son of Rachel's maid, dwelt next abreast. Manasseh and Ephraim, both sons of Joseph, son of Rachel, had the next place abreast. Zebulun and Issachar, who dwelt next together, were both sons of Leah and the last pair were Asher, of Leah's maid, and Naphtali, of Rachel's maid. Thus God, in nominating princes that should divide the land, signified beforehand the manner of their possession, and that they should be so situated as to dwell together as brethren in unity, for the mutual help and comfort of each other. See Ainsworth. In this arrangement there is much skill, judgment, and kindness every where displayed.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 34:19

16–29. Ten princes were appointed to superintend the allotment of the land, one from each of the nine and a halt tribes who settled west of the Jordan. In supreme command are Joshua and Eleazar, the successors of Moses and Aaron as the civil and religious beads of the nation.
