Week 56, Day 4: Dividing the Land

Today’s Reading:  Numbers 34:1-29

Some thoughts from today’s reading…

In this chapter the Lord details the borders of the land Israel is to receive as an inheritance.  He then tells Moses that he is to send one leader from each tribe to portion the land out.  After the land has been divided into sections they will allot each of the 9 and a half tribes left to receive their inheritance their portion by lot (26:55-56).  In this manner the dividing of the land would be done impartially. 

Question:  Why is there wisdom in sending one leader from each tribe to participate in dividing the land?
