Wandering: A Study In Numbers

ДЕН 25 ОТ 27

What does it say?

Two tribes asked Moses if they could remain where they were rather than crossing the Jordan. A specific agreement was made which would allow them to settle in Transjordan.

What does it mean?

When the tribes of Gad and Reuben asked to settle in Transjordan, Moses was concerned that their request could cause disunity and discouragement to the other tribes. The motive behind the request was paramount; doubting God’s ability to give victory would cause the destruction of Israel. He reminded them of the Lord’s punishment on the previous generation’s disbelief (Numbers 13-14). They assured Moses they were ready to fight alongside the other tribes to take possession of the Promised Land. Then, they would come back and settle east of the Jordan. Moses listened and agreed to a compromise. 

How should I respond?

Often, compromise is necessary to settle difficult issues. Many misunderstandings could be avoided by calmly looking at the matter from another person’s point of view. What relationship in your life has suffered because you were adamant that you were right? Ask God for wisdom to understand the other person’s perspective; then take the necessary steps to make amends. Don’t let a misunderstanding come between you and someone you love. Determine to listen rather than assume you have all the answers.

Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
