L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 33:1-56

THE REVIEW OF ISRAEL'S JOURNEY FROM EGYPT (vs.1-49) Just as, at the judgment seat of Christ, there will be a review of all our history here on earth, so we find now a review of Israel's journey from the time they left Egypt. It is noted that Moses wrote the record of these things at the command of the Lord (v.2) and it is quite evident that Moses was the writer of all of Numbers and also of Deuteronomy except the last chapter, or at least the last nine verses of that chapter. Israel left... read more

GETTING READY FOR CANAAN REUBEN AND GAD’S CHOICE (Numbers 32:0 ) What was their choice of possessions, and on what ground was it made (Numbers 32:1-5 )? What suspicion of their motive possessed Moses (Numbers 32:6-15 )? What assurance is given him (Numbers 32:16-19 )? How is the matter closed (Numbers 32:20-27 )? What charge does Moses transmit to his successors (Numbers 32:28-32 )? REVIEW OF THE JOURNEY (Numbers 33:0 ) This chapter may be said to form the winding-up of the history of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Numbers 33:50-56

Thoroughness Num 33:50-56 The subject is evidently thoroughness. Do the work completely root and branch, in and out, so that there may be no mistake as to earnestness; and the result shall be security, peace, contentment; Do the work partially half and half, perfunctorily; and the end shall be disappointment, vexation, and ruin. Causes have effects; work is followed by consequences. Do not suppose that you can turn away the law of causation and consequence. Things are settled and decreed... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Numbers 33:50-56

It is worthy our closest observation, how frequently in the sacred word, those precepts of totally destroying every vestige of the enemy, is mentioned. And the reason is told us; GOD is jealous of his honour-jealous of the affections of his people. And when we call to mind that an everlasting and irreconcilable opposition subsists between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, the whole is explained. Deuteronomy 7:25-26 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 33:50-56

50-56 Now that they were to pass over Jordan, they were entering again into temptation to follow idols; and they are threatened that, if they spared either the idols or the idolaters, their sin would certainly be their punishment. They would foster vipers in their own bosoms. The remnant of the Canaanites, if they made any peace with them, though but for a time, would be pricks in their eyes, and thorns in their sides. We must expect trouble and affliction from whatever sin we indulge; that... read more
