Numbers 15:2 Summary

In Numbers 15:2, God is telling the Israelites that He is giving them a new home, a place where they can live and worship Him. This is a reminder that God is always providing for us and giving us a sense of belonging and purpose (as seen in Psalm 37:3-4 and Jeremiah 29:11). As we read this verse, we can reflect on how God is guiding us and providing for us in our own lives, and trust in His promise to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). We can also think about how we can obey God's instructions and communicate with others in our community of faith, just like Moses was called to do in this verse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the land that God is giving to the Israelites in Numbers 15:2?

The land God is giving to the Israelites is a symbol of His promise and provision for His people, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:8 and Joshua 1:2-4. This land represents a place of rest and abundance after their wilderness journey.

How does Numbers 15:2 relate to the overall story of the Israelites' journey?

Numbers 15:2 is a pivotal moment in the Israelites' journey, as it looks forward to their entrance into the Promised Land, which is a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:7 and reiterated in Exodus 6:4.

What can we learn from God's instruction to speak to the Israelites in Numbers 15:2?

God's instruction to speak to the Israelites emphasizes the importance of communication and obedience in the community of faith, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and Matthew 28:19-20. This highlights the role of leaders in guiding and instructing God's people.

How does this verse relate to the concept of God's presence and guidance?

Numbers 15:2 implies that God's presence and guidance are with the Israelites as they enter the Promised Land, which is a theme that continues throughout the Old Testament, such as in Exodus 33:14-15 and Joshua 1:5-6.

Reflection Questions

What does it mean for me to 'enter the land' that God has given me, and how do I trust in His provision and promise?
How can I apply the principle of obedience and communication in my own community of faith, as seen in Numbers 15:2?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 15:2

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 15:2

i.e. Will certainly give you notwithstanding this great provacation, and my unchangeable commination. And for their better assurance hereof, he repeats and amplifies the laws of sacrifices, whereby through Christ he was or would be reconciled to them and theirs upon their repentance.

Trapp's Commentary on Numbers 15:2

Numbers 15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,Ver. 2. When ye be come into the land.] God, who in the midst of judgment remembereth mercy, and suffereth not his whole wrath to arise, seals up his love again to these recent revolters: and although he led them in and out, backward and forward, in that terrible wilderness, as if he had been treading a maze; yet he here gives them new directions what to do, when they, that is their children, came into the land of Canaan. Yea, he further tells them that he will smell a sweet savour of the herd, and of the flock; and is pleased to enlarge and explain some laws formerly delivered, in token of his reconciliation to them. So he renewed his favour to his relapsed spouse, now returning unto him, and to his disciples, that had basely forsaken him, by giving them a new commission to execute the ministerial function.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Numbers 15:2

Verse 2. When ye be come into the land] Some learned men are of opinion that several offerings prescribed by the law were not intended to be made in the wilderness, but in the promised land; the former not affording those conveniences which were necessary to the complete observance of the Divine worship in this and several other respects.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 15:2

1–16. Meal-offerings and Libations. These are to accompany both private and public sacrifices, and are arranged according to a fixed scale as follows (ephah = c. 1 bushel; hin = c. 1½ gallon): Meal.Oil.Wine.With every lamb1/10 ephah.¼ hin.¼ hin.With every ram2/10 ephah⅓ ? hin.⅓ ? hin.With every bullock3/10 ephah.½ hin.½ hin.It will be seen that the amount in each case varies according to the size of the animal. Ezekiel, in his ideal arrangements for worship in the restored Jerusalem, has a similar scale (Ezekiel 46:5-7; Ezekiel 46:11; Ezekiel 46:14), but the amounts are larger, they are not graduated so carefully with respect to the size of the animal, and the libation of wine is not included. The present scale appears to be a later modification of Ezekiel’s. But while the fixing of definite amounts was probably a late development, the practice of offering meal, oil and wine as an accompaniment of sacrifice was ancient. Men offered to their God the same food which they enjoyed at their own table; cf. Judges 9:9; Judges 9:13 (oil and wine), 1 Samuel 1:24; 1 Samuel 10:3 (meal and wine), Hosea 9:4 (wine), Micah 6:7 (oil). Leviticus 2 contains regulations for meal-offerings, without fixed amounts, but with the addition of salt and frankincense.
