The borders of the land16. The names of the men who shall divide the land Your northern border This phrase refers to the delineation of the northern boundary of the land that God promised to the Israelites. The establishment of borders was crucial for defining the territory that each tribe would inherit. This boundary was part of the larger division of the Promised Land among the twelve tribes of Israel, as commanded by God. The concept of borders is significant in the Bible, symbolizing God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises. It also reflects the order and structure that God intended for His people. will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor Persons / Places / Events 1.

Believers can trust in God's promises for their lives, knowing He is faithful to fulfill them. The Importance of Boundaries Just as God set physical boundaries for the Israelites, He sets spiritual and moral boundaries for His people today. Understanding and respecting these boundaries is crucial for living a life that honors God.

Leaders in the church are called to guide their congregations according to God's Word. The Significance of Obedience The Israelites were required to obey God's instructions regarding the land. Similarly, obedience to God's Word is essential for believers to experience His blessings. The Concept of Inheritance The land was an inheritance for the Israelites, symbolizing God's provision. Believers have a spiritual inheritance in Christ, which includes eternal life and spiritual blessings.(7) Mount Hor.--It has been thought by some that Hermon is the mountain to which reference is made. But, as Ritter has observed ("Comparative Geography of Palestine," 3, p. 176), "Hermon stands too far eastward to answer the conditions of the problem," and he thinks that some peak very near the Mediterranean must be meant. Von Raumer considers that it was probably one of the peaks belonging to the Lebanon range, and discernible from Sidon. (Ib.)Verse 7. - Ye shall point out for you, i.e., ye shall observe and make for, in tracing the boundary. Septuagint, καταμετρήσετε... παρά Mount Hor. Not of course the Mount Hor on which Aaron died, but another far to the north, probably in Lebanon. The Hebrew הֹר הָהָר, which the Septuagint had rendered Ὤς τὸ ὄρος in chapter 20, it renders here τὸ ὄρος τὸ ὄρος, taking הֹר as simply another form הָר, as it probably is. Her Ha-har is therefore equivalent to the English "Mount Mountain ;" and just as there are many "Avon rivers" on the English maps, so there were probably many mountains locally known among the Jews as Hor Ha-hat. We do not know what peak this was, although it must have been one clearly distinguishable from the sea. There is, however, no reason whatever for supposing (contrary to the analogy of all such names, and of the other Mount Hor) that it included the whole range of Lebanon proper.
