1. The forty-two journeys of the Israelites

On the plains of Moab
The phrase "On the plains of Moab" situates the Israelites geographically and historically. The plains of Moab were located east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Jordan. This area was significant as it was the final encampment of the Israelites before entering the Promised Land. The Hebrew root for Moab, "מואב" (Mo'av), is often associated with the descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, highlighting the complex familial and historical relationships between the Israelites and their neighbors. This setting underscores the anticipation and preparation for the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.

by the Jordan
The Jordan River is a critical geographical marker in the biblical narrative. It represents a boundary and a transition point for the Israelites. The Hebrew word "ירדן" (Yarden) is derived from the root "ירד" (yarad), meaning "to descend," which is fitting as the river flows down from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. The Jordan is symbolic of spiritual transitions and new beginnings, as it was the river that the Israelites would cross to enter the Promised Land, and later, where Jesus would be baptized, marking the beginning of His public ministry.

across from Jericho
Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, and its mention here is significant. The city would be the first major conquest for the Israelites in the Promised Land, symbolizing the beginning of God's fulfillment of His promise to Abraham. The Hebrew name "יריחו" (Yericho) is thought to be derived from "ירח" (yareach), meaning "moon," possibly indicating the city's ancient connection to lunar worship. This sets the stage for the dramatic events to come, where God's power would be demonstrated over the fortified city.

the LORD said to Moses
This phrase emphasizes the direct communication between God and Moses, a central theme in the Pentateuch. The Hebrew name for God here is "יהוה" (YHWH), often rendered as "LORD" in English translations, signifying the covenantal and personal nature of God. Moses, as the mediator of God's law and leader of the Israelites, receives divine instructions that are crucial for the nation's future. This communication underscores the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God's commands as the Israelites prepare to enter a new chapter in their history.

Verse 50. - And the Lord spake. It is quite obvious that a new section begins here, closely connected, not with the Itinerary which precedes it, but with the delimitation which follows. The formula which introduces the present command is repeated in Numbers 35:1, and again in the last verse of chapter 36, thus giving a character of its own to this concluding portion of the Book, and to some extent isolating it from the rest.
