Moses Shown Samson and Barak and Every Generation's Leaders

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Masei 3:1

Curated by Arthur·Translated by Maggid (Beta)·

(Numbers 34:1–2:) "And the LORD spoke [unto Moses, saying]: Command the children of Israel, etc., when you come into the land of Canaan." This teaches that the Holy One, blessed be He, showed Moses all that had been and all that was destined to be. He showed him Samson standing forth from Dan, and Barak from Naphtali; and likewise every generation and its expounders, every generation and its sustainers, every generation and its sages, every generation and its wicked, every generation and its righteous.
