Commentary for Numbers 26:24
Numbers 26:24 is a verse from the Old Testament that falls within the Book of Numbers, which is the fourth book in the Bible. The Book of Numbers recounts the journey of the Israelites from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab, on the eastern border of the Promised Land, and includes a census of the people, various laws, and a narrative of their wanderings in the wilderness.
The verse itself is part of a larger section that details the census of the Israelite tribes, taken at the command of God, as a way to assess the fighting force of each tribe before they enter the land of Canaan. This census was necessary because the generation that had left Egypt had all died in the wilderness due to their lack of faith, except for Joshua and Caleb. The new generation was now being numbered and prepared for the conquest of the Promised Land.
In Numbers 26:24, the verse specifically mentions the family groups of the Jashubites and the Shimronites, who are descendants of Jashub and Shimron, respectively. These individuals were from the tribe of Issachar, one of the twelve sons of Jacob (also known as Israel). The tribe of Issachar was one of the ten lost tribes of Israel that were taken into exile by the Assyrians in 722 BCE, and their exact lineage and whereabouts became lost to history after this event.
The themes present in this verse include the organization and structure of the Israelite community, the importance of genealogy in establishing identity and inheritance rights, and the fulfillment of God's promise to make the descendants of Abraham into a great nation. The historical context underscores the significance of tribal affiliations and the preparations for the Israelites to claim their inheritance in the land that God had promised to their ancestors. This verse reflects the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey towards nationhood and their relationship with God, who guides and shapes their destiny.
