And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... At the same time that he gave him the bounds of the land of Canaan, which was to be divided between the nine tribes and a half; and that this might be done in the most impartial manner, and to the satisfaction of them all, he gave orders to Moses:
saying; as follows.

Of the representatives now selected through Moses beforehand, who were all princes, i. e. heads of chief families, in their respective tribes (see Num 13:2), Caleb alone, of the tribe of Judah, is otherwise known to us (see Num 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.

names of the men . . . which shall divide the land--This appointment by the Lord before the Jordan tended not only to animate the Israelites faith in the certainty of the conquest, but to prevent all subsequent dispute and discontent, which might have been dangerous in presence of the natives. The nominees were ten princes for the nine and a half tribes, one of them being selected from the western section of Manasseh, and all subordinate to the great military and ecclesiastical chiefs, Joshua and Eleazar. The names are mentioned in the exact order in which the tribes obtained possession of the land, and according to brotherly connection.

v. 17. These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you, the men in charge of the lot-casting which should determine the location of each individual tribe: Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
v. 18. And ye shall take one prince of every tribe to divide the land by inheritance.
v. 19. And the names of the men are these: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
v. 20. And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.
v. 21. of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.
v. 22. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki, the son of Jogli.
v. 23. The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel, the son of Ephod.
v. 24. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
v. 25. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
v. 26. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
v. 27. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
v. 28. And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
v. 29. These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. of these princes only Caleb is mentioned elsewhere. The list of tribes in the order named corresponds, with some exceptions, to the situation of the territory which the tribes received in Canaan, reckoning from the south to the north. It should be remembered also here that the position of the several inheritances was determined by lot; but their dimensions were proportioned to the numerical size of the tribes to which they fell, the largest tribe getting the most territory. The care of the covenant God for the people whom He had chosen appears throughout.
