And the Lord spake. It is quite obvious that a new section begins here, closely connected, not with the Itinerary which precedes it, but with the delimitation which follows. The formula which introduces the present command is repeated in Numbers 35:1, and again in the last verse of Numbers 36:1-13, thus giving a character of its own to this concluding portion of the Book, and to some extent isolating it from the rest.
