The Back to the Bible Beginning to End Reading Plan

In Numbers 33.1-49, Moses spoke about the wilderness journey from Rameses to to the plain of Moab. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here is a link of the journey they took.
In v.50-56, God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites when they cross the Jordan, to drive out the inhabitants, they must destroy all the carved images and idols. They were to take possession of the land and settle in it. The spiritual application is that the Christian life is a spiritual warfare. We are to drive out the idols in our lives, remove the stronghold of lust and greed and any sins that trips us up. We have God the warrior on our side, Jesus as our High Priest and the Holy Spirit to convicts us of our sins.

In Numbers 34, there is a detail discussion of the boundaries of Canaan, this is better visualized with maps and some links Map of Canaan
More on Canaan
Here is a map of the twelve tribes in Canaan.

Moses told the Israelites that the land was assigned by lot as an inheritance to nine and a half tribes because the tribes of Gad and Reuben and a half tribe if Manasseh had already received their inheritance. (Num 32). Ten men (including Caleb) were to assigned the inheritance to the Israelites in Canaan. (Num 34.19-29)
