Commentary on Numbers 34:3
The southern border beginning at the wilderness of Zin along Edom's border establishes that Israel's inheritance was distinct from their relatives. Edom (Esau's descendants) received different territory. God distinguished between Jacob and Esau in inheritance, though both were Abraham's descendants. This teaches that physical descent doesn't guarantee spiritual inheritance. The Reformed doctrine of election is illustrated—God chooses whom He will bless, not based on genealogy but according to His purpose. Not all Abraham's descendants received the promise; only Isaac's line through Jacob.
