The City Gate Messianic Bible Study with Rav Andrew
Parasha 042 Matot
B'midbar/ Numbers 30:2–32:42
The name of the Parshah, “Matot,” means “Tribes,” and it is found in
Numbers 30:2.
Moses conveys the laws governing the annulment of vows to the heads of
the tribes of Israel.
War is waged against Midian for their role in plotting the moral
destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war
spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the
Levites and the high priest.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of
Manasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the
Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is
initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the
condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel’s conquest of the
lands west of the Jordan.
