Numbers 34:38

51. These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand, and a thousand seven hundred and thirty. 51. Isti sunt numerati filiorum Israel, sexcenta millia, et mille septingenti ac triginta. 52. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 52. Loquutus est autem Jehova ad Mosen, dicendo: 53. Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance, according to the number of names. 53. Istis dividerut terra illa in possessionem secundum numerum nominum. 54. To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. 54. Numerosiori dabis possessionem majorem: et pauciori diminues possessionem suam: unicuique secundum numeratos suos dabitur haereditas sua. 55. Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. 55. Veruntamen sorte dividetur terra, per nomina tribuum patrum suorum haereditatem accipient. 56. According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few. 56. Secundum sortes dividetur haereditas ejus inter multum et paucum. 57. And these are they that were numbered of the Levites, after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.

Numbers 31:28 ## One soul, i.e. one person, as it follows here and Num_31:30. Numbers 31:29 Numbers 31:30 ## One portion of fifty; whereas the former part was one of five hundred: the reason of the difference is, partly because this was taken out of the people’s portion, whose hazards being less than the others, their gains also in all reason were to be less; partly because this was to be distributed into more hands, the Levites being now numerous, when the priests were but few. Numbers 31:31 Numbers 31:32 ## The rest of the prey; all which was now left of the prey. It is so expressed because they took more, but some of the persons were since killed, Num_31:17, and some of the cattle was spent for the necessary provisions of the army.

Numbers 26:3 ## In the plains of Moab; see Num_22:1 33:48 Numbers 26:4 ## Take the sum of the people: these words are easily supplied and necessarily to be understood from Num_26:2. Numbers 26:5 Numbers 26:6 Numbers 26:7 ## The families, i.e. the chief hou ses, which were subdivided into divers lesser families. ## Forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty; whereas in their last number ing they were

Moab, the region immediately east of the Dead Sea and of the lower Jordan, though in part suited for agriculture, is in the main a great grazing country. Mesha resembled a modern Arab Sheikh, whose wealth is usually estimated by the number of his flocks and herds. His tribute of the wool of 100, 000 lambs was a tribute in kind, the ordinary tribute at this time in the East. Mesha is the monarch who wrote the inscription on the "Moabite stone" (2 Kings 1:1 note). The points established by the Inscription are: 1. That Moab recovered from the blow dealt by David 2 Samuel 8:2, 2 Samuel 8:12, and became again an independent state in the interval between David's conquest and the accession of Omri; 2. That Omri reconquered the country, and that it then became subject to the northern kingdom, and remained so throughout his reign and that of his son Ahab, and into the reign of Ahab's son and successor, Ahaziah; 3. That the independence was regained by means of a war, in which Mesha took town after town from the Israelites, including in his conquests many of the towns which, at the original occupation of the holy land, had passed into the possession of the Reubenites or the Gadites, as Baal-Meon Numbers 32:38, Kirjathaim Numbers 32:37, Ataroth Numbers 32:34, Nebo Numbers 32:38, Jahaz Joshua 13:18, etc.; 4. That the name of Yahweh was well known to the Moabites as that of the God of the Israelites; and 5.
