Numbers 34:21
“Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.”
What does Numbers 34:21 mean?
This is part of a list of leaders God appointed to help divide the promised land fairly among Israel's twelve tribes. Elidad represented his tribe of Benjamin in this important work, making sure his people received their rightful portion of the inheritance God had promised to Abraham's descendants. While this verse might seem like just a name in a long genealogy, it reflects something meaningful: God cared enough about the details of His people's future to appoint specific, named individuals to oversee justice and fairness. Even in administrative tasks, God's hand was directing the work of distributing His blessings.
