These commandments and ordinances are part of the Mosaic Law, which includes moral, ceremonial, and civil laws. They were intended to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God and to set them apart as His chosen people. The commandments reflect God's holiness and justice, and they foreshadow the coming of Christ, who would fulfill the Law (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>).that the LORD gave the Israelites The LORD, Yahweh, is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. The giving of the law to the Israelites signifies God's direct communication and covenant relationship with them. This divine revelation was unique to Israel, highlighting their role as a nation chosen to be a light to the Gentiles (<a href="/isaiah/42-6.htm">Isaiah 42:6</a>). The Israelites were to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (<a href="/exodus/19-6.htm">Exodus 19:6</a>).through Moses Moses is the central human figure in the Pentateuch, serving as the mediator between God and the Israelites. He is a type of Christ, as both are deliverers and lawgivers. Moses' role as a prophet and leader is foundational to Israel's identity and history. His faithfulness in delivering God's commandments is a model of obedience and leadership (<a href="/hebrews/3-5.htm">Hebrews 3:5</a>).on the plains of Moab The plains of Moab are located east of the Jordan River, opposite Jericho. This geographical setting is significant as it represents the final staging area before the Israelites enter the Promised Land. The plains of Moab are also where Moses delivered his final speeches, which are recorded in the book of Deuteronomy. This location underscores the transition from the wilderness wanderings to the conquest of Canaan.by the Jordan The Jordan River is a critical geographical marker in Israel's history. It represents a boundary and a crossing point into the Promised Land. The crossing of the Jordan by the Israelites, led by Joshua, is a pivotal moment of faith and fulfillment of God's promises (Joshua 3-4). The Jordan also holds future significance in the New Testament, as the site of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist (<a href="/matthew/3-13.htm">Matthew 3:13-17</a>).across from Jericho Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and the first city conquered by the Israelites in the Promised Land (Joshua 6). Its location across from the plains of Moab highlights the imminent fulfillment of God's promise to give the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham. The fall of Jericho is a testament to God's power and faithfulness, as well as a foreshadowing of the ultimate victory over sin and death through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are receiving the commandments and ordinances. 2. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The prophet and leader of the Israelites, through whom God delivered the law and guidance to His people. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who provides the commandments and ordinances. 4. <a href="/topical/p/plains_of_moab.htm">Plains of Moab</a> The location where the Israelites are encamped, east of the Jordan River, as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. 5. <a href="/topical/j/jordan_river_and_jericho.htm">Jordan River and Jericho</a> Geographical markers indicating the proximity to the Promised Land, with Jericho being the first city they will encounter upon crossing the Jordan.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a> The commandments and ordinances given by God are not mere suggestions but are essential for living a life that honors Him.

This is one of the words which recur so continually in Deuteronomy and in <a href="/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>. It is found four times in chapter 15, and in a few other passages of the earlier books, including <a href="/leviticus/27-34.htm">Leviticus 27:34</a>. The judgments. הַמִּשְׁפָטִים. A similar formula is found at the conclusion of Leviticus (<a href="/leviticus/26-46.htm">Leviticus 26:46</a>), where, however, "the commandments" represents a different word (הַחֻקִּים), and a third term, "the laws" (הַתּורֹת), is added. It is difficult to say confidently what is included under the "these" of this verse. Comparing it with <a href="/numbers/33-50.htm">Numbers 33:50</a>, it would seem that it only referred to the final regulations and enactments of the last four chapters; but as we have no reason to believe that the later sections of the Book are arranged in any methodical order, we cannot limit its scope to those, or deny that it may include the laws of chapters 28-30. For a similar reason we cannot say that the use of this concluding formula excludes the possibility of further large additions having been subsequently made to the Divine legislation in the same place and by the same person, as recorded in the Book of Deuteronomy. All we can say is, that the Book of Numbers knows nothing about any such additions, and concludes in such sort as to make it a matter of surprise that such additions are afterwards met with. The continuity, which so clearly binds together the main bulk of the four books of Moses, ends with this verse. This fact does not of course decide any question which arises concerning the fifth book; it merely leaves all such questions to be determined on their own merits. <a href="/commentaries/numbers/36-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>These אֵ֣לֶּה (’êl·leh) Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those are the commandments הַמִּצְוֺ֞ת (ham·miṣ·wōṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4687.htm">Strong's 4687: </a> Commandment and ordinances וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֗ים (wə·ham·miš·pā·ṭîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4941.htm">Strong's 4941: </a> A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, style that אֲשֶׁ֨ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that the LORD יְהוָ֛ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel gave צִוָּ֧ה (ṣiw·wāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order to the Israelites בְּנֵ֣י (bə·nê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son through בְּיַד־ (bə·yaḏ-) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand Moses מֹשֶׁ֖ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver on the plains בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת (bə·‘ar·ḇōṯ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6160.htm">Strong's 6160: </a> Arabah -- a steppe or desert plain, also a desert valley running south from the Sea of Galilee of Moab מוֹאָ֔ב (mō·w·’āḇ) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4124.htm">Strong's 4124: </a> Moab -- a son of Lot,also his descendants and the territory where they settled by עַ֖ל (‘al) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the Jordan יַרְדֵּ֥ן (yar·dên) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3383.htm">Strong's 3383: </a> Jordan -- the principal river of Palestine across from Jericho. יְרֵחֽוֹ׃ (yə·rê·ḥōw) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3405.htm">Strong's 3405: </a> Jericho -- a city in the Jordan Valley captured by Joshua <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/numbers/36-13.htm">Numbers 36:13 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/numbers/36-13.htm">OT Law: Numbers 36:13 These are the commandments and the ordinances (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/36-12.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 36:12"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 36:12" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/deuteronomy/1-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Deuteronomy 1:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Deuteronomy 1:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
