Numbers 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:2

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them
The younger sort of them, such as were under twenty years of age; for those of that age and upwards, who had murmured against the Lord, had been assured by him with an oath that they should die in the wilderness, and not see the land of Canaan, ( Numbers 14:29 ) ; whereas those Moses is here bid to speak to were such that should possess it:

when ye come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto,
you;
the land of Canaan, the grant of which is here renewed to them, and an assurance given of their coming into it and settlement in it; and that they should have dwelling places there for their several tribes and families.
