treasure in the sand
Deuteronomy 33:18-21 (JDV)
Deuteronomy 33:18 He said about Zebulun: Enjoy, Zebulun, your journeys, and Issachar, your tents.
Deuteronomy 33:19 They summon the peoples to a mountain; there they offer acceptable sacrifices, because they draw from the wealth of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.
Deuteronomy 33:20 He said about Gad: The one who enlarges Gad’s territory will be empowered. He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or even a head.
Deuteronomy 33:21 He chose the first for himself, because a ruler’s portion was assigned there for him. He came with the leaders of the people; he carried out Yahveh’s justice and his rules for Israel.
treasure in the sand
Zebulun and Issachar were apportioned an area that overlays the land that in New Testament times was called Galilee, which would suggest that one of the hidden treasures of which Moses spoke would be Christ himself. He was the acceptable sacrifice, or sacrifice of righteousness. For centuries, many had little respect for this remote land. But God had hidden a surprise for us all there.
Lord, thank you for the Treasure you hid for us in the remote land of Galilee.
