These are the commandments and the judgments which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho — the book of Numbers concludes with this summary statement: the laws just given are divine commandments delivered through Moses to Israel on the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho. The location-formula identifies this as the final moment of the wilderness period, just before entry into Canaan. The content emphasizes that the entire legal structure—including refugee-cities, inheritance law, and tribal-land integrity—constitutes the covenant-framework for Israel's life in the promised land. The closing verse affirms the complete divine guidance from Egypt to the threshold of Canaan.
