Notes that are not verse specific
Dividing the country by lot was tantamount to saying that they were putting the decision in God's hands. There are a number of scriptural examples of making decisions in a way that to us seems random but with faith is quite obviously divine - Urim and Thummim are a striking example [Exo.28:30]. It was a command of God to use this method to divide the land [Num.26:55, 33:54] and it is picked up again in Acts 13:19, so it must have significance. We ought to think about the way we make our decisions as there could be a lesson for us here. Acts 1:24-26.
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2001 Reply to Peter
We have a relationship with Yahweh in which He gives guidelines and we have the discretionary ability to choose a path (free will). He, of course, knows our motives and helps us if we ask Him, as long as hearts are right.
And so it was with the allotment of the Land. Yahweh gave the guidelines (Num. 26:55; 33:54) and it was up to Joshua (and Eleazar) to direct the distribution.
All human decision making must allow for adjustments (e.g. Judah's lot was too big for them and so a portion was allotted to Simeon; Dan could not truly possess their original portion, and so the tribe re-located).
Yahweh could have dictated precise allotment boundaries but He chose to leave that responsibility to His servants. And so it is with us. We are given the elements of Truth but it is up to us to work out our salvation... (Phil. 2:12). With Yahweh's help we will be successful.

Zebulun and Naphtali were neighbouring territories in Galilee (their area is so described in the New Testament Matt 4:15). Later, they would become subject to the domination of Assyrian rule. However, they would be spiritually liberated during the ministry of Christ (Isa 9:1,2).

So they made an end <3615>(8762) of dividing <2505>(8763) the country <776>.

Israel is to be saved, and will embrace the belief of the Lord their God. I wonder if the destruction of Moab is spoken here in the context of the Moabite invasion spoken of in 2Chron 20?

V. 6-9 This speaks of the blessing that will come to all nations not just Israel, when all of the earth shall ackhowledge Christ as king and worship. Him. Could it be then that the covering and veil that is removed is that of Sin which results in the swallowing up of death.

1. O LORD <3068>, thou art my God <430>; I will exalt <7311>(8787) thee, I will praise <3034>(8686) thy name <8034>; for thou hast done <6213>(8804) wonderful <6382> things; thy counsels <6098> of old <7350> are faithfulness <530> and truth <544>.
2. For thou hast made <7760>(8804) of a city <5892> an heap <1530>; of a defenced <1219>(8803) city <7151> a ruin <4654>: a palace <759> of strangers <2114>(8801) to be no city <5892>; it shall never <5769> be built <1129>(8735).
3. Therefore shall the strong <5794> people <5971> glorify <3513>(8762) thee, the city <7151> of the terrible <6184> nations <1471> shall fear <3372>(8799) thee.
4. For thou hast been a strength <4581> to the poor <1800>, a strength <4581> to the needy <34> in his distress <6862>, a refuge <4268> from the storm <2230>, a shadow <6738> from the heat <2721>, when the blast <7307> of the terrible ones <6184> is as a storm <2230> against the wall <7023>.
5. Thou shalt bring down <3665>(8686) the noise <7588> of strangers <2114>(8801), as the heat <2721> in a dry place <6724>; even the heat <2721> with the shadow <6738> of a cloud <5645>: the branch <2159> of the terrible ones <6184> shall be brought low <6030>(8799).
6. And in this mountain <2022> shall the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> make <6213>(8804) unto all people <5971> a feast <4960> of fat things <8081>, a feast <4960> of wines on the lees <8105>, of fat things <8081> full of marrow <4229>(8794), of wines on the lees <8105> well refined <2212>(8794).
7. And he will destroy <1104>(8765) in this mountain <2022> the face <6440> of the covering <3875> cast over <3874>(8802) all people <5971>, and the vail <4541> that is spread <5259>(8803) over all nations <1471>.
8. He will swallow up <1104>(8765) death <4194> in victory <5331>; and the Lord <136> GOD <3069> will wipe away <4229>(8804) tears <1832> from off all faces <6440>; and the rebuke <2781> of his people <5971> shall he take away <5493>(8686) from off all the earth <776>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>(8765) it.
9. And it shall be said <559>(8804) in that day <3117>, Lo, this is our God <430>; we have waited <6960>(8765) for him, and he will save <3467>(8686) us: this is the LORD <3068>; we have waited <6960>(8765) for him, we will be glad <1523>(8799) and rejoice <8055>(8799) in his salvation <3444>.
10. For in this mountain <2022> shall the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> rest <5117>(8799), and Moab <4124> shall be trodden down <1758>(8736) under him, even as straw <4963> is trodden down <1758>(8738) for the dunghill <1119> <4087>(8675) <4325>.
11. And he shall spread forth <6566>(8765) his hands <3027> in the midst <7130> of them, as he that swimmeth <7811>(8802) spreadeth forth <6566>(8762) his hands to swim <7811>(8800): and he shall bring down <8213>(8689) their pride <1346> together with the spoils <698> of their hands <3027>.
12. And the fortress <4013> of the high fort <4869> of thy walls <2346> shall he bring down <7817>(8689), lay low <8213>(8689), and bring <5060>(8689) to the ground <776>, even to the dust <6083>.
Notes that are not verse specific
The writer to the Hebrews makes an eloquent explanation of Christ's being the true atonement. However, it must be appreciated that for most Jews, steeped in the Law under the direction of their leaders, this was not easy to grasp.
To accept the concept of Christ's overriding (fulfilling) the Law needed faith. Then the need to change in the face of family, friends, and a determined religious hierarchy, required much courage. The same difficulties exist today as people are faced with the true Gospel. But, with the power and grace of Yahweh, much can be overcome.
Michael Parry [Montreal (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to Michael
8:6 The inadequacy of the old covenant was completely overshadowed by the adequacy of Christ. Christ became the mediator of this new covenant that was superior to the old covenant. The writer uses comparative adjectives to indicate the difference between old and new. Christ's superior ministry, the superior covenant, and the better promises. We read yesterday that Jesus is the guarantee of a better covenant (Heb 7:22).

1. Now <1161> of <1909> the things which we have spoken <3004>(5746) this is the sum <2774>: We have <2192>(5719) such <5108> an high priest <749>, who <3739> is set <2523>(5656) on <1722> the right hand <1188> of the throne <2362> of the Majesty <3172> in <1722> the heavens <3772>;
2. A minister <3011> of the sanctuary <39>, and <2532> of the true <228> tabernacle <4633>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> pitched <4078>(5656), and <2532> not <3756> man <444>.
3. For <1063> every <3956> high priest <749> is ordained <2525>(5743) to <1519> offer <4374>(5721) gifts <1435> and <5037> <2532> sacrifices <2378>: wherefore <3606> it is of necessity <316> that this man <5126> have <2192>(5721) somewhat <5100> also <2532> to <3739> offer <4374>(5661).
4. For <1063> if <1487> <3303> he were <2258>(5713) on <1909> earth <1093>, he should <302> not <3761> be <2258>(5713) a priest <2409>, seeing that there are <5607>(5752) priests <2409> that offer <4374>(5723) gifts <1435> according <2596> to the law <3551>:
5. Who <3748> serve <3000>(5719) unto the example <5262> and <2532> shadow <4639> of heavenly things <2032>, as <2531> Moses <3475> was admonished of God <5537>(5769) when he was about <3195>(5723) to make <2005>(5721) the tabernacle <4633>: for <1063>, See <3708>(5720), saith he <5346>(5748), that thou make <4160>(5661) all things <3956> according to <2596> the pattern <5179> shewed <1166>(5685) to thee <4671> in <1722> the mount <3735>.
6. But <1161> now <3570> hath he obtained <5177>(5758) a more excellent <1313> ministry <3009>, by how much <3745> also <2532> he is <2076>(5748) the mediator <3316> of a better <2909> covenant <1242>, which <3748> was established <3549>(5769) upon <1909> better <2909> promises <1860>.
7. For <1063> if <1487> that <1565> first <4413> covenant had been <2258>(5713) faultless <273>, then should <302> no <3756> place <5117> have been sought <2212>(5712) for the second <1208>.
8. For <1063> finding fault <3201>(5740) with them <846>, he saith <3004>(5719), Behold <2400>(5628), the days <2250> come <2064>(5736), saith <3004>(5719) the Lord <2962>, when <2532> I will make <4931>(5692) a new <2537> covenant <1242> with <1909> the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and <2532> with <1909> the house <3624> of Judah <2455>:
9. Not <3756> according to <2596> the covenant <1242> that <3739> I made with <4160>(5656) their <846> fathers <3962> in <1722> the day <2250> when I took <1949>(5637) them <846> by the hand <3450> <5495> to lead <1806>(5629) them <846> out of <1537> the land <1093> of Egypt <125>; because <3754> they <846> continued <1696>(5656) not <3756> in <1722> my <3450> covenant <1242>, and I <2504> regarded <272> <0> them <846> not <272>(5656), saith <3004>(5719) the Lord <2962>.
10. For <3754> this <3778> is the covenant <1242> that <3739> I will make <1303>(5695) with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith <3004>(5719) the Lord <2962>; I will put <1325>(5723) my <3450> laws <3551> into <1519> their <846> mind <1271>, and <2532> write <1924>(5692) them <846> in <1909> their <846> hearts <2588>: and <2532> I will be <2071>(5704) to <1519> them <846> a God <2316>, and <2532> they shall be <2071>(5704) to <1519> me <3427> a people <2992>:
11. And <2532> they shall <1321> <0> not <3364> teach <1321>(5661) every man <1538> his <848> neighbour <4139>, and <2532> every man <1538> his <848> brother <80>, saying <3004>(5723), Know <1097>(5628) the Lord <2962>: for <3754> all <3956> shall know <1492>(5692) me <3165>, from <575> the least <3398> <846> to <2193> the greatest <3173> <846>.
12. For <3754> I will be <2071>(5704) merciful <2436> to their <846> unrighteousness <93>, and <2532> their <846> sins <266> and <2532> their <846> iniquities <458> will I remember <3415>(5686) no <3364> more <2089>.
13. In <1722> that he saith <3004>(5721), A new <2537> covenant, he hath made <3822> <0> the first <4413> old <3822>(5758). Now <1161> that which decayeth <3822>(5746) and <2532> waxeth old <1095>(5723) is ready <1451> to vanish away <854>.
1. Then <3767> verily <3303> the first <4413> covenant had <2192>(5707) also <2532> ordinances <1345> of divine service <2999>, and <5037> a worldly <2886> sanctuary <39>.
2. For <1063> there was <2680> <0> a tabernacle <4633> made <2680>(5681); the first <4413>, wherein <1722> <3739> <5037> was the candlestick <3087>, and <2532> the table <5132>, and <2532> the shewbread <4286> <740>; which <3748> is called <3004>(5743) the sanctuary <39>.
3. And <1161> after <3326> the second <1208> veil <2665>, the tabernacle <4633> which <3588> is called <3004>(5746) the Holiest of all <39> <39>;
4. Which had <2192>(5723) the golden <5552> censer <2369>, and <2532> the ark <2787> of the covenant <1242> overlaid <4028>(5772) round about <3840> with gold <5553>, wherein <1722> <3739> was the golden <5552> pot <4713> that had <2192>(5723) manna <3131>, and <2532> Aaron's <2> rod <4464> that budded <985>(5660), and <2532> the tables <4109> of the covenant <1242>;
5. And <1161> over <5231> it <846> the cherubims <5502> of glory <1391> shadowing <2683>(5723) the mercyseat <2435>; of <4012> which <3739> we cannot <3756> <2076>(5748) now <3568> speak <3004>(5721) particularly <2596> <3313>.
6. Now <1161> when these things <5130> were <2680> <0> thus <3779> ordained <2680>(5772), the priests <2409> went <1524>(5748) always <1275> into <1519> <3303> the first <4413> tabernacle <4633>, accomplishing <2005>(5723) the service <2999> of God.
7. But <1161> into <1519> the second <1208> went the high priest <749> alone <3441> once <530> every year <1763>, not <3756> without <5565> blood <129>, which <3739> he offered <4374>(5719) for <5228> himself <1438>, and <2532> for the errors <51> of the people <2992>:
8. The Holy <40> Ghost <4151> this <5124> signifying <1213>(5723), that the way <3598> into the holiest of all <39> was <5319> <0> not yet <3380> made manifest <5319>(5771), while as the first <4413> tabernacle <4633> was <2192>(5723) yet <2089> standing <4714>:
9. Which <3748> was a figure <3850> for <1519> the time <2540> then present <1764>(5761), in <2596> which <3739> were offered <4374>(5743) both <5037> gifts <1435> and <2532> sacrifices <2378>, that could <1410>(5740) not <3361> make <5048> <0> him that did the service <3000>(5723) perfect <5048>(5658), as pertaining to <2596> the conscience <4893>;
10. Which stood only <3440> in <1909> meats <1033> and <2532> drinks <4188>, and <2532> divers <1313> washings <909>, and <2532> carnal <4561> ordinances <1345>, imposed <1945>(5740) on them until <3360> the time <2540> of reformation <1357>.
11. But <1161> Christ <5547> being come <3854>(5637) an high priest <749> of good things <18> to come <3195>(5723), by <1223> a greater <3187> and <2532> more perfect <5046> tabernacle <4633>, not <3756> made with hands <5499>, that is to say <5123>(5748), not <3756> of this <5026> building <2937>;
12. Neither <3761> by <1223> the blood <129> of goats <5131> and <2532> calves <3448>, but <1161> by <1223> his own <2398> blood <129> he entered in <1525>(5627) once <2178> into <1519> the holy place <39>, having obtained <2147>(5642) eternal <166> redemption <3085> for us.
13. For <1063> if <1487> the blood <129> of bulls <5022> and <2532> of goats <5131>, and <2532> the ashes <4700> of an heifer <1151> sprinkling <4472>(5723) the unclean <2840>(5772), sanctifieth <37>(5719) to <4314> the purifying <2514> of the flesh <4561>:
14. How much <4214> more <3123> shall <2511> <0> the blood <129> of Christ <5547>, who <3739> through <1223> the eternal <166> Spirit <4151> offered <4374>(5656) himself <1438> without spot <299> to God <2316>, purge <2511>(5692) your <5216> conscience <4893> from <575> dead <3498> works <2041> to <1519> serve <3000>(5721) the living <2198>(5723) God <2316>?
15. And <2532> for this <5124> cause <1223> he is <2076>(5748) the mediator <3316> of the new <2537> testament <1242>, that <3704> by means <1096>(5637) of death <2288>, for <1519> the redemption <629> of the transgressions <3847> that were under <1909> the first <4413> testament <1242>, they which are called <2564>(5772) might receive <2983>(5632) the promise <1860> of eternal <166> inheritance <2817>.
16. For <1063> where <3699> a testament <1242> is, there must also of necessity <318> be <5342>(5745) the death <2288> of the testator <1303>(5642).
17. For <1063> a testament <1242> is of force <949> after <1909> men are dead <3498>: otherwise <1893> it is of <2480> <0> no <3379> <0> strength <2480>(5719) at all <3379> while <3753> the testator <1303>(5642) liveth <2198>(5719).
18. Whereupon <3606> neither <3761> the first <4413> testament was dedicated <1457>(5769) without <5565> blood <129>.
19. For <1063> when <5259> Moses <3475> had spoken <2980>(5685) every <3956> precept <1785> to all <3956> the people <2992> according <2596> to the law <3551>, he took <2983>(5631) the blood <129> of calves <3448> and <2532> of goats <5131>, with <3326> water <5204>, and <2532> scarlet <2847> wool <2053>, and <2532> hyssop <5301>, and sprinkled <4472>(5656) both <5037> the book <975> <846>, and <2532> all <3956> the people <2992>,
20. Saying <3004>(5723), This <5124> is the blood <129> of the testament <1242> which <3739> God <2316> hath enjoined <1781>(5662) unto <4314> you <5209>.
21. Moreover <1161> <3668> he sprinkled <4472>(5656) with blood <129> both <2532> the tabernacle <4633>, and <2532> all <3956> the vessels <4632> of the ministry <3009>.
22. And <2532> almost <4975> all things <3956> are <2511> <0> by <2596> the law <3551> purged <2511>(5743) with <1722> blood <129>; and <2532> without <5565> shedding of blood <130> is <1096>(5736) no <3756> remission <859>.
23. It was therefore <3767> necessary <318> that the patterns <5262> of things <3303> in <1722> the heavens <3772> should be purified <2511>(5745) with these <5125>; but <1161> the heavenly things <2032> themselves <846> with better <2909> sacrifices <2378> than <3844> these <5025>.
24. For <1063> Christ <5547> is <1525> <0> not <3756> entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> the holy places <39> made with hands <5499>, which are the figures <499> of the true <228>; but <235> into <1519> heaven <3772> itself <846>, now <3568> to appear <1718>(5683) in the presence <4383> of God <2316> for <5228> us <2257>:
25. Nor <3761> yet that <2443> he should offer <4374>(5725) himself <1438> often <4178>, as <5618> the high priest <749> entereth <1525>(5736) into <1519> the holy place <39> every <2596> year <1763> with <1722> blood <129> of others <245>;
26. For then <1893> must <1163>(5713) he <846> often <4178> have suffered <3958>(5629) since <575> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>: but <1161> now <3568> once <530> in <1909> the end <4930> of the world <165> hath he appeared <5319>(5769) to <1519> put away <115> sin <266> by <1223> the sacrifice <2378> of himself <848>.
27. And <2532> as <2596> <3745> it is appointed <606>(5736) unto men <444> once <530> to die <599>(5629), but <1161> after <3326> this <5124> the judgment <2920>:
28. So <3779> Christ <5547> was once <530> offered <4374>(5685) to <1519> bear <399>(5629) the sins <266> of many <4183>; and unto them that look <553>(5740) for him <846> shall he appear <3700>(5701) <1537> the second time <1208> without <5565> sin <266> unto <1519> salvation <4991>.
