Judges 1:16
And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, whichlieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

Judges 4:11
Now Heber the Kenite,which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, whichis by Kedesh.

1 John 1:3
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowshipis with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

we will share with you
The promise of sharing indicates a sense of community and mutual benefit. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, sharing resources and blessings was a common practice among tribes and families. This reflects the biblical principle of generosity and hospitality, which is echoed in the New Testament (Acts 2:44-45). The Israelites' willingness to share with Hobab underscores the inclusive nature of God's blessings.

whatever good things the LORD gives us.
This phrase acknowledges that all blessings come from the LORD, emphasizing divine providence and grace. The "good things" refer to the material and spiritual blessings that God promised to the Israelites, including the land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:8). This promise is rooted in the Abrahamic covenant, where God pledged to bless Abraham's descendants (Genesis 12:2-3). Theologically, it points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in Christ, who is the source of all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3). The phrase also serves as a reminder of the Israelites' dependence on God's provision throughout their journey.

Moses’ words to Hobab are a genuine, voluntary invitation. No coercion—just an open door.

•Exodus 18:9–10 shows Hobab’s family already rejoicing “for all the goodness that the LORD had done for Israel.”

• Jesus echoes this spirit inMatthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who are weary…”.

•Revelation 22:17 ends Scripture on the same note: “Let the one who is thirsty come.”

God honors a willing heart, and Israel’s leader models that expectancy here.

The phrase stresses community. Blessing is discovered and enjoyed together.

• Ruth echoes it inRuth 1:16, “Where you go I will go.”

•Hebrews 10:24-25 urges believers not to forsake “our meeting together.”

•Acts 2:44 records that “all the believers were together.”

The journey of faith is designed to be shared, not solo.

Moses pledges tangible generosity, linking presence with participation.

•1 Samuel 30:24 sets the principle: “The share of the one who stays… shall be the same as the share of the one who goes.”

•Acts 4:32 shows the early church living this out: “No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own.”

•2 Corinthians 8:14 speaks of “equality” so that “your abundance may supply their need.”

God’s people imitate His giving heart by opening their hands to others.

The promise is broad and undefined—because God’s goodness is limitless.

•Psalm 34:8 invites, “Taste and see that the LORD is good.”

•Psalm 84:11 assures, “No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

•James 1:17 reminds, “Every good and perfect gift is from above.”

Moses cannot list every blessing; he simply pledges all of them.

The source of every benefit is explicit: the LORD. Israel’s leader refuses self-credit.

•Deuteronomy 8:18 warns, “Remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to gain wealth.”

•Psalm 103:2 praises, “Forget not all His benefits.”

•Ephesians 1:3 celebrates, “He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing.”

Recognizing the Giver keeps gratitude flowing and humility intact.

Numbers 10:32 captures covenant life in one sentence: a willing outsider is invited to join God’s people, journey with them, and receive every blessing the Lord pours out. The verse champions voluntary response, shared pilgrimage, open-handed generosity, confidence in God’s abundant goodness, and unwavering acknowledgment that all blessings come from Him.
