Numbers 26
Concise Complete
Numbering of Israel in the plains of Moab. (1-51) The
division of the land. (52-56) Number of the Levites. (57-62) None remaining of
the first numbering. (63-65)
Verses 1-51
Moses did not number the people but when God commanded him. We have here the
families registered, as well as the tribes. The total was nearly the same as
when numbered at mount Sinai. Notice is here taken of the children of Korah;
they died not, as the children of Dathan and Abiram; they seem not to have
joined even their own father in rebellion. If we partake not of the sins of
sinners, we shall not partake of their plagues.
Verses 52-56 In
distributing these tribes, the general rule of equity is prescribed; that to
many should be given more, and to fewer less. Though it seems left to the
prudence of their prince, the matter at last must be settled by the providence
of God, with which all must be satisfied.
Verses 57-62
Levi was God's tribe; therefore it was not numbered with the rest, but alone. It
came not under the sentence, that none of them should enter Canaan excepting
Caleb and Joshua.
Verses 63-65
The execution of the sentence passed on the murmurers, chap. 14:29, is
observable. There was not one man numbered now, who was numbered then, but Caleb
and Joshua. Here appeared the righteousness of God, and his faithfulness to his
threatenings. Especially observe the truth of God, in performing his promise to
Caleb and Joshua. Death makes awful havoc of the human species, and causes
surprising changes in families and nations; yet all is appointed in perfect
wisdom, justice, and truth, by the Lord himself. This should stir us up to think
upon the hateful nature of sin, the cause of all these devastations. We should
renew our repentance, seek forgiveness, value the salvation of Christ, remember
how frail we are, prepare for the summons of death, and fill up our days in
serving our generation according to the will of God.
