Contextual Overview

16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 17 "These are the men who will help you divide the land: Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, 18 and the leaders of all the tribes. There will be one leader from each tribe. These men will divide the land. 19 These are the names of the leaders: from the tribe of Judah—Caleb son of Jephunneh; 20 from the tribe of Simeon—Shemuel son of Ammihud; 21 from the tribe of Benjamin—Elidad son of Kislon; 22 from the tribe of Dan—Bukki son of Jogli; 23 from the descendants of Joseph; from the tribe of Manasseh—Hanniel son of Ephod; 24 from the tribe of Ephraim—Kemuel son of Shiphtan; 25 from the tribe of Zebulun—Elizaphan son of Parnach;

are the names: It is worthy of remark, that Moses does not follow any order hitherto used in arranging the tribes, but places them exactly in the order in which they possessed the land, and according to their fraternal relationship. Judah is first, having the first lot, in the South - Joshua 15:1, and next to him is Simeon, because his inheritance was "within the inheritance of the children of Judah" - Joshua 19:1. Benjamin, the third, had his portion between "Judah and the children of Joseph" - Joshua 18:11. Dan was the fourth, and his lot was westward of Benjamin - Joshua 19:40, Joshua 19:41. Manasseh and his brother Ephraim had their inheritances behind that of Benjamin - Joshua 16:7. Next these dwelt Zebulun and Issachar - Joshua 19:10-17, and then Asher and Naphtali - Joshua 19:24-32.

Eleazar: Joshua 14:1, Joshua 19:51

Joshua: Numbers 13:8, Numbers 13:16

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you,.... Or "inherit the land for you" z; that is, as Jarchi interprets it, they were to take possession of it in their name and stead, as their representatives, and then distribute it unto them, or divide it to be inherited by them; but whatever may be said for the princes of the tribes, as acting for their respective tribes, and representing them, the same cannot be said of the two first named, as follow:

Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun; the one the principal person in ecclesiastical affairs, and the other in civil ones; to divide the land being partly a sacred work, as it was a type of the heavenly Canaan, and a civil one, as it concerned the present welfare of the people of Israel; and both were types of Christ, the priest upon his throne, who is both priest and King; who, as the one, gives a right unto it, and, as the other, introduces into it.

z ינחלו לכם "haereditabunt vobis", Montanus; "qui haereditario jure accipient pro vobis", Tigurine not.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of the representatives now selected through Moses beforehand, who were all princes, i. e. heads of chief families, in their respective tribes (see Numbers 13:2), Caleb alone, of the tribe of Judah, is otherwise known to us (see Numbers 13:4 ff). The order in which the tribes are named is peculiar to this passage. If they be taken in pairs, Judah and Simeon, Benjamin and Dan, Manasseh and Ephraim, Zebulun and Issachar, Asher and Naphtali, the order of the pairs agrees with the order in which the allotments in the Holy land, taken also in couples, followed each other in the map from south to north.
