Commentary for Numbers 26:44
Numbers 26:44 is a verse from the Old Testament that falls within the fourth book of the Pentateuch, which details the history of the Israelites. This particular verse is part of a larger census that Moses conducted among the Israelites at the command of God, on the plains of Moab, as they prepared to enter the Promised Land after forty years of wandering in the wilderness.
The verse specifically lists the families of the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's eighth son. The tribe of Asher is enumerated here according to its clans: the Jimnites from Jimna, the Jesuites from Jesui, and the Beriites from Beriah. This detailed accounting was important for several reasons: it established the genealogical record of the tribes, it determined the tribal allotments of land in Canaan, and it was used to organize military service and other tribal responsibilities.
The historical context of this verse is significant because it reflects a period of transition for the Israelites. They were on the brink of a new era, about to possess the land promised to their ancestors. The census ensured that each tribe and family was represented and that the inheritance rights were fairly distributed according to the size of each family group. This also served to reinforce the tribal identity and the sense of belonging among the Israelites as they were about to face new challenges and opportunities in the land of Canaan.
