Numbers 33:51 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 33:51

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them
What was to be said, being what concerned the whole body of the people:

when ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
near to which they now were, and Moses was about to leave them; and therefore it was the more necessary to give them some instructions and directions what they should do, when they were come into it.

Numbers 33:51 In-Context

49 On the Plains of Moab their camp stretched along the banks of the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim (Acacia Meadow).
50 God spoke to Moses on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho:
51 "Tell the People of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the country of Canaan,
52 drive out the native population before you, destroy their carved idols, destroy their cast images, level their worship-mounds
53 so that you take over the land and make yourself at home in it; I've given it to you. It's yours.
