Commentary for Numbers 36:13
Numbers 36:13 serves as a concluding verse for the entire book of Numbers, encapsulating the comprehensive nature of the legal and ritual instructions given by God to the Israelites. The verse specifically mentions "commandments and judgments," which refer to the wide array of laws and statutes that Moses, as God's spokesperson, has conveyed to the people. These laws cover various aspects of Israelite life, including religious observances, moral conduct, social justice, and civil administration.
The historical context of this verse is set in the plains of Moab, an area east of the Jordan River, near Jericho. This location is significant as it marks the final encampment of the Israelites before they were to cross into the Promised Land of Canaan. The Israelites have been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, following their exodus from Egypt, and are now poised to enter the land God had promised to their ancestors.
The themes of Numbers 36:13 include divine authority, as it reiterates that these laws come directly from the Lord; the role of Moses as the mediator of God's will; and the importance of these commandments and judgments for the life and well-being of the Israelite community. The verse underscores the necessity for the Israelites to adhere to these divine instructions as they prepare to transition from a nomadic existence in the wilderness to a settled life in the land of Canaan, where these laws will form the foundation of their society and religious practice. It also serves as a summary and closure to the book of Numbers, highlighting the completion of a body of law that will guide the Israelites in the next chapter of their national and spiritual journey.
