📚 Historical Context

This occurs during Israel's final military campaign against the Midianites before entering the Promised Land. The Midianites had previously led Israel into idolatry and immorality, causing God's judgment to fall on His people. Moses was about to die, and this was one of his last acts as Israel's leader.
