Mattot “Tribes” – Masa’ei “Stages” Pt 4: Numbers (B’Midbar) 32:20 – 33:49
God (Yahveh) establishes some of the tribes to the east of the Jordan, but they are required to join the others on taking the Land.
We are not to be only out for ourselves; in fact, when we are, we defeat ourselves. We are part of a community; as believers in Messiah, we are grafted onto the olive tree of Israel, and so we are united with the Kingdom. The success of the Kingdom as a whole is the foundation of our own success; without Yahveh’s purposes being carried out, our own purposes are moot.
So, let us take up the entire task, support and encourage our brothers, and strive for the success of all of His people.
