Numbers 33-36 (concluded)

The book of Numbers concludes with a recounting of the journey of Israel out of Egypt, encampment by encampment, from their departure from Egypt at Rameses to their arrival by Jordan in the plains of Moab. The LORD declares the borders appointed to the children of Israel to be divided among the tribes, and confirms the lands claimed by the tribes of Rueben, Gad, and Manasseh on the near side of Jordan. He appoints cities for the Levites to possess, and cities of refuge and the laws governing their use. The matter of the inheritance of the daughters of Zelophehad arises again, and the LORD establishes the law of the marriage of heiresses to protect inheritances within each tribe.
