V.1 The Lord says “when ye come into the land.” He does not say “if,” for He had promised, and He was going to keep that promise. And the very same Hand that had brought them out of Egypt, and had kept them through those 40 years in the wilderness, would also divide to them the land that flowed with “milk and honey.” So here we read of the borders of that land.
V.16. These two men, Eleazar the priest and Joshua, are to divide the promised land among the twelve tribes.
V.19-29 A prince was to be put in charge of each tribe. Remember that He has also promised to us a “land” above — our blessings cannot be measured by boundaries nor miles. Even now, we are so richly blessed, and the Lord wants us to enjoy all. The height and depth, and breadth and length cannot be measured (Eph. 3:17-1917That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:17‑19)). It is all ours, for we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ.
