Contextual Overview
1 "These are the tribes: "Dan: one portion, along the northern boundary, following the Hethlon road that turns off to the entrance of Hamath as far as Hazor-enon so that the territory of Damascus lies to the north alongside Hamath, the northern border stretching from east to west. 2 "Asher: one portion, bordering Dan from east to west. 3 "Naphtali: one portion, bordering Asher from east to west. 4 "Manasseh: one portion, bordering Naphtali from east to west. 5 "Ephraim: one portion, bordering Manasseh from east to west. 6 "Reuben: one portion, bordering Ephraim from east to west. 7 "Judah: one portion, bordering Reuben from east to west. 8"Bordering Judah from east to west is the consecrated area that you will set aside as holy: a square approximately seven by seven miles, with the Sanctuary set at the center. The consecrated area reserved for God is to be seven miles long and a little less than three miles wide. 10"This is how it will be parceled out. The priest will get the area measuring seven miles on the north and south boundaries, with a width of a little more than three miles at the east and west boundaries. The Sanctuary of God will be at the center. This is for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites who stayed true in their service to me and didn't get off track as the Levites did when Israel wandered off the main road. This is their special gift, a gift from the land itself, most holy ground, bordering the section of the Levites. 13"The Levites get a section equal in size to that of the priests, roughly seven by three miles. They are not permitted to sell or trade any of it. It's the choice part of the land, to say nothing of being holy to God .
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Reuben: Genesis 29:32, Genesis 49:3, Genesis 49:4, Joshua 13:15-21
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. Who, through his sin, lost his birthright; but now, his sin being forgiven and forgotten, has a portion assigned him upon the border of Ephraim, and next to the tribe of Judah; when in Moses and Joshua's time it lay on the other side Jordan: this points to such persons that shall have their lot and portion in spiritual things; that "see the Son", that look to Christ alone for righteousness, peace, pardon, and eternal life.
