NOTES for Num 34:1-29
By settling the tribes of Israel throughout the land of Canaan and marking out its borders, God creates a large family of brothers and sisters (cf. Ps. 132/133 - "How good and how pleasant..."). This family, called to live according to the will of God revealed through Moses, is destined, many centuries later, to become the family of the One who will reveal God to it as His Father.
