Numbers 13:1-33 At the Lord’s Command, Moses Sent All These from the Wilderness of Paran

 

At the Lord’s Command, Moses Sent All These from the Wilderness of Paran

Numbers 13:1-33                       The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Send [12] men to search [out] the land of Canaan, which [I am giving] to the children [people] of Israel. A  man shall be sent [from] every tribe of their fathers, everyone a ruler among them.

By [command] of the Lord, Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran, all those [12] men were heads of the children [people] of Israel. These were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, [Zaccur’s] son. Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, [Hori’s] son. Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, [Jephunneh’s] son.

Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, [Joseph’s] son. Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea, [Nun’s] son. Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, [Raphu’s] son. Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, [Sodi’s] son. Of the tribe of Joseph, Manasseh, Gaddi, [Susi’s] son. Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, [Gemalli’s] son.

Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, [Michael’s] son. Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, [Vophsi’s] son. Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, [Machi’s] son. These are the names of the men Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea, [Nun’s] son, Joshua. And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan & said to them, Get [yourself] up this way [by the] south & go up into the mountain.

See the land, what it is, & the people [who live] there, whether they [are] strong or weak, few or many. What is land [like] that they [live] in, whether it’s good or bad, and what cities they [live] in, whether in tents or [with fortified walls.] [See] what the land is, whether [it’s fertile or barren,] whether there [are woods in it] or not.

Be of good courage & bring [some] of the fruit of the land. It was the time of the 1st ripe grapes. So, [the 12] went up & searched the land from the Wilderness of Zin to Rehob, [toward] Hamath. They ascended by the south & came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, Talmai, the children of Anak, were.

(Now Hebron was built 7 years before Zoan in Egypt.) They came to the Brook of Eshcol & cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes from [there] & [carried] it on a [pole] between 2 [men.] They brought [some] pomegranates & figs. The place was called the Brook of Eshcol [a.k.a.Cluster,] because of the cluster of grapes the [men] of Israel cut down from [there.]

They returned from searching the land after 40 days. They came to the Wilderness of Paran to Kadesh, to Moses, Aaron & all the congregation of the children [people] of Israel & brought back word to them & all the congregation & [showed] them the fruit of the land.

They told [Moses] & said, We came to the land [where] you sent us & it surely flows with milk & honey. This is  the fruit of it. [Still] the people [are] strong [who live] in the land. The cities are walled & very [big.]

[Also] we saw the children [people] of Anak there. The Amalekites [live] in the land of the south & the Hittites, Jebusites & the Amorites [live] in the mountains. The Canaanites [live] by the sea & by the coast of Jordan.

Caleb [quieted] the people before Moses & said, [Let’s] go up at once & possess it. For we are very able to overcome [them.] But the men [who] went up with [Caleb] said, We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we [are.]

They brought [a negative] report [about] the land which they had searched, [to] the [people] of Israel, saying, The land, which we [searched,] is a land that eats up [its] inhabitants. All the people we saw are [very] tall men. We saw the [giants] there, the sons of Anak, which are of the giants. In our sight, we were like grasshoppers [to them.]

Numbers 12:1-16 Aaron & Miriam, Moses’ Siblings, Envy His Power

 

Aaron & Miriam, Moses’ Siblings, Envy His Power

Numbers 12:1-16                                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

Miriam & Moses [spoke] against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman he had married. They said, [Has] the Lord [only] spoken through Moses? Hasn’t He also spoken by us? And the Lord heard it.

(Now, Moses was a very [timid] man, above all men upon the face of the earth.) The Lord spoke suddenly to Moses, Aaron & Miriam, You 3, come out into the tabernacle of the congregation [& the 3 did so.]

The [Lord God] came down in the pillar of the cloud & stood in the door of the tabernacle & called Aaron & Miriam. They both came [forward.] The [Lord God] said, Hear My words now. If there [is] a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision & will speak to him in a dream.

[I don’t do this] with My servant, Moses, who is [the most] faithful in all My house. I speak with [Moses face to face plainly] & not in dark [sayings.] [Moses] sees the [form] of the Lord.

[Why] then weren’t you afraid to speak against My servant, Moses? The anger of the Lord [grew] against them & He departed. [When] the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, [Miriam’s skin] became leprous, white as snow.

Aaron looked upon Miriam & [saw] she was leprous. Aaron said to Moses, I [beg] you to, not lay our sin on us. We have done foolishly & we have sinned. Let [Miriam] not be like a [stillborn who] is dead, with skin that is 1/2 consumed from the mother’s womb.

Moses cried [out] to the Lord, saying, I [beg] You, heal her now, O God. And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had spit in her face & [defiled her,] wouldn’t she be [humbled] for 7 days? Let her be shut [outside] the camp for 7 days. After that, let her be [welcomed] in again. And Miriam was shut [outside] 7 days. Afterward,the people [left] from Hazeroth & pitched [their tents] in the Wilderness of Paran.

Numbers 11:1-35 The Israelites Complain

 

The Israelites Complain

Numbers 11:1-35               The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

When the people complained, the Lord heard it & it displeased the Lord. The Lord’s anger [grew] & the fire of the Lord burnt among them & consumed [those who] were on the [outskirts] of the camp. The people cried to Moses.

When Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched. [Moses] called the place Taberah; because of the [Lord’s] fire burning among them. The [mixed] multitude of the children [people] of Israel, [had cravings] & [cried out] again & said, Who shall give us [meat] to eat?

We remember the fish, cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions & garlic, we used to eat freely in Egypt. Now our soul is dried [up] & [there’s] nothing at all before our eyes, [except for] this manna. The manna was [like] coriander seed & [its] color was [like] the color of bdellium.

The people went [around] & gathered it & ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar & baked it in a pans & made cakes of it. [Its] taste was [like] the taste of fresh oil. And when the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna fell on it. Moses heard the people weep, at the door of their tents, throughout their families & the anger of the Lord [grew great] & Moses was also displeased.

Moses asked the Lord, Why have You afflicted Your servant? Why haven’t I found favor in Your sight, that You have [laid] the burden of all this people on me? Have I conceived or begotten all these people, that You should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, [like [like a father carries a nursing] child, into the land which You [swore] to their [forefathers?]

[Where] am I to get [enough meat] to give to all [these] people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us [meat] to eat. I am [unable] to bear the [burden] of this people alone, because it’s too heavy for me. If You deal this [way] with me, I pray that You kill me. If I’ve found favor in Your sight, [don’t let] me see [how wretched I am.]

The Lord [told] Moses, Gather to Me 70 men [known] to be the elders of Israel, the elders of the people & officers over them & bring them into the tabernacle of the congregation, [so] they may stand there with you. I will come down [from heaven] & talk with you there.

I will take [some] of the Spirit that is upon you & will put it on [the people with you, so] they shall bear the burden of the people with you. Say to the people, Sanctify yourselves tomorrow & you shall eat [meat.] For you have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us [meat] to eat? For [things were good for] us in Egypt.

Therefore, the Lord will give you [meat] & you shall eat [of it.] You shall not [just] eat 1 day, 2, 5, 10, or 20 days. But [you shall eat it] a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils & is [disgusting] to you: because you have despised the Lord, [Who] is among you.

[You] have wept before Him, saying, Why [did we come here] out of Egypt? Moses said, The people [with me] are 600,000 footmen. You have said, I will give them [meat, so] that they may eat [it] a whole month. Shall [all] the flocks & herds be [killed] to [satisfy] them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together to [satisfy] them?

The Lord said to Moses, Is the Lord’s hand [too short]? You shall now see whether My Word shall come to pass to you or not. Moses went out & told the people [what the Lord said] & gathered 70 men of the elders of the people & [put] them [around] the tabernacle.

The Lord came down in a cloud & [spoke] to [Moses] & took [some of] the Spirit that was upon [Moses] & gave it to the 70 elders. It [happened] that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied & didn’t cease. But 2 men remained in the camp, [named] Eldad & Medad & [they didn’t go to the tabernacle, but] the Spirit rested on them & they prophesied in the camp.

A young man ran & told Moses & said, Eldad & Medad [are prophesying] in the camp. Joshua, [Nun’s] son, a young servant of Moses, answered & said, My lord, Moses, forbid them. Moses said to [Joshua, Do you envy] them for my sake? [I wish] God [would make] all the Lord’s people prophets & the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!

Moses & the elders of Israel [went into] the camp. There [was] a wind from the Lord that [carried] quails from the sea & let them fall [around] the camp [within] a day’s journey on all sides of the camp, 2 cubits high over the [ground.]

The people stood up all that day & night & all the next day, [gathering] the quails. [No one gathered less than] 10 homers. They spread [quails] out [around] the camp. While the [meat] was [still] in between their teeth [as they chewed it,] the [anger] of the Lord [grew] against the people.

The Lord [struck] them with a [severe] plague. [Moses] called the name of that place, Kibroth Hattaavah; because they buried the people [there who] lusted [for meat.] The people journeyed from Kibroth Hattaavah & [stayed in] Hazeroth.

Numbers 10:1-36 Breaking Camp

 

Breaking Camp

Numbers 10:1-36                   The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Make 2 trumpets of silver, [all of] 1 piece, [so] you may use them for calling the assembly & [to journey out] of the camps. When they shall blow [the trumpets] all the assembly shall [gather together] to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

If they [only] blow 1 trumpet, then the princes [who] are heads of the 1,000’s of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east, shall go forward. When you blow an alarm the 2nd time, the camps that lie on the south side, shall [begin] their journey.

[When] they blow [the trumpet,  it]  shall be an alarm for their journeys. When you [just want] the congregation to be gathered together, blow [the trumpet, but don’t] sound an alarm. It shall be a [rule for] you throughout your generations, that the sons of the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets.

You shall blow an alarm with the trumpets if you go to war in your land against the enemy [who oppresses] you. You shall be remembered before the Lord, your God & you shall be saved from your enemies.

Also, [on]the day of your your [rejoicing] & [on] & [on]your solemn days, in the [beginning] of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings & over the sacrifices of your Peace Offerings, [so] they may be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord, your God.

It [happened] on the 20th day, [in] the 2nd month, in the 2nd year, the cloud [was lifted] up, from off the tabernacle of the Testimony. The children [people] of Israel [started] their journey out of the Wilderness of Sinai. The cloud rested in the Wilderness of Paran.

They took their 1st journey, according to the [Lord’s command]] by the hand of Moses. The [banner] of the camp of the children [people] of Judah, went 1st, according to their armies. Over his [division] was Nashon, [Amminidab’s] son.

Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Issachar was Nethaneel, [Zuar’s] son. Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Zebulun was Eliab, [Helon’s] son. The tabernacle was [disassembled] & [Gershon’s] sons & [Merari’s] sons [set out, carrying] the tabernacle.

The [banner] of the camp of Reuben [set out] according to their armies. Over his [division] was Eliizur, [Shedeur’s] son. Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Simeon was Shelumiel, [Zurishaddai’s] son. Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of, the son of Deuel [a.k.a. Reuel.]

The Kohathites set forward, [carrying] the sanctuary. And the [others were to] set up the tabernacle [before] they [got there.] The [banner] of the camp of the [people] of Ephraim [set out] according to their armies. Over his [division] was Elishama, [Ammihud’s] son.

Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Manasseh was Gamaliel, [Pedahzur’s] son. Over the [division] of the tribe of Benjamin was Abidan, [Gideoni’s] son.

The [banner] of the camp of the [people] of Dan set [out,] which was the [rear guard] of all the camps throughout their [divisions.] Over his [division] was Ahiezer, [Ammishaddai’s] son. Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ocran [a.k.a Okran.]

Over the [division] of the tribe of the [people] of Naphtali was Ahira, [Enan’s] son. [This was the order] of the [journeys] of the [people] of Israel, according to their armies, when they set forward.

Moses said to Hobab, [Raguel’s] son, the Midianite, [who was] Moses’ father-in-law, We are [taking our journey] to the place the Lord said, I will give it to you. Come with us & we will do good [to] you. For the Lord has spoken [of] good [things] concerning Israel.

[Hobab] said to [Moses,] I won’t go, but I will [go] to my own land & my [family.] [Moses] said, I pray [that] you don’t leave us. You know [much about camping] in the wilderness & you might be [like our] eyes to us.

If you should go with us, it shall be, that [whatever good] the Lord does to us, we will do the same to you. They departed from [Sinai a.k.a. Horeb] the Mount of the Lord & [went] 3 days’ journey, [but] the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord went [first] in their journey, to search out a resting place for them.

The cloud of the Lord was upon them by day & when they [left] the camp. It [happened,] when the Ark set forward, Moses said, Lord, rise up & let Your enemies be scattered. Let [those who] hate You, flee before You. When [the Ark was in its resting place,] Moses said, Return, O Lord, to the many 1,000’s of Israel.

Numbers 9:1-23 Keeping the Second Passover Celebration

 

Keeping the Second Passover Celebration

Numbers 9:1-23             The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the 1st month of the 2nd year after they [came] out of the land of Egypt, saying, Let the children [people] of Israel keep the Passover at [its] appointed [time.]

[On] the 14th day of this month, at [evening,] you shall keep [the Passover,] according to [its customs] & ceremonies. Moses [told] the [people] of Israel, that they they should keep the Passover.

They kept the Passover on the 14th day of the 1st month at [evening] in the Wilderness of Sinai, according to all the Lord commanded Moses. There were [some] men who were defiled by [a] dead [man’s] body & couldn’t keep the Passover on that day. They came before Moses & Aaron that day.

Those men said to [Moses,] We are defiled by the dead body of a man. [Why] are we kept back, [where] we [can’t make] an offering [to] the Lord [at its] appointed [time with] the children [people] of Israel?

Moses said to them, Stand still & I will [listen] to what the Lord will command [about] you. The Lord [said] to Moses, saying, [Say] to the [people] of Israel, If any [of you or your descendants are] unclean, [because] of a dead body, or [are on a long] journey, he shall [still] keep the Passover to the Lord.

The 14th day of the 2nd month at [evening,] they shall keep it & eat it with unleavened bread & bitter herbs. * They shall leave none of it [until] the morning, nor break any bone of it. They shall keep it according to all the [rules] of the Passover.

[John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus & saw He was dead already, they [didn't break] His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately] blood & water came out. And he [who] saw it, bare record & his [testimony] is true: [so] that you believe. For these things were don, [so] that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him, shall not be broken.]

But the man [who] is clean & isn’t [on] a journey & doesn’t keep the Passover, [that person] shall be cut off from his people & bear his [guilt,] because he [didn’t bring] the offering of the Lord in [its] appointed [time.]

If a stranger shall [stay] among you & [wants] to keep the Passover to the Lord; he must do according to the [Passover’s rules & regulations.] You shall have [the same ruleules] for the stranger, [as for those] born in [this] land.

On the day the tabernacle was [put] up, the cloud [of the Lord,] covered the tent of the Testimony, of the tabernacle by day & the appearance of fire [covered it,] until morning. [Always] the cloud covered it by day & the appearance of fire [by night.

When the cloud was [lifted] from the tabernacle, [afterward,] [afterward] the children [people] of Israel journeyed. [When] the cloud [stayed,] the [people] of Israel pitched their tents there.

At the [Lord’s command,] the [people] of Israel journeyed & at the [Lord’s command,] they pitched [their tents] & rested in their tents, as long as the cloud [was on] the tabernacle. When the cloud [continued there] many days, then then the [people] of Israel, did according to the [Lord’s order] & [didn’t]] journey.

So it was, when the cloud was [only] on the tabernacle [for] a few days, according to the [Lord’s command,] they [stayed] in their tents & at the [Lord’s command] they journeyed.

[Even] when the cloud [stayed ] from [evening until] morning & the cloud was [lifted] up in the morning, they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night, [when] the cloud was [lifted] up, they journeyed.

Whether it [was for] 2 days, 1 month, or 1 year, that the cloud [stayed] on the tabernacle & [remained on it,] the [people] of Israel [stayed] in their tents & [didn’t journey.] But [when the cloud was lifted] up, they journeyed.

At the [Lord’s command] they rested in the tents & at the [Lord’s command] they journeyed. They kept the Lord’s [order, as] the Lord [commanded,] by the hand of Moses.

Numbers 8:1-26 The Levites Are Purified

 

The Levites Are Purified

Numbers 8:1-26     The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to Aaron & say to him, When you light the lamps, [all] 7 lamps shall give light [next to] the candlestick [lampstand.] Aaron did [this] & lit the lamps, so the light [shone next to the lampstand,] as the Lord commanded Moses.

The [lampstand] was [made] of [hammered] gold, [from its base to its flowers,] [all hammered] work, according to the pattern the Lord had [shown] Moses. He made the candlestick [like that.] [Exodus 25:40 And look that you make them [according] to their pattern, which was [shown] to you in Mount [Sinai a.k.a. Horeb.]

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, Take the Levites from among the children [people] of Israel & cleanse them. To cleanse them, you shall sprinkle purifying water on them & have them shave all their [body] & wash their clothes, [to cleanse] themselves. Then, let them take a young [bull] with [its meat/grain] offering [of] fine flour mingled with oil. Take another young [bull] for a sin offering.

You shall bring the Levites & gather the whole assembly of the children [people] of Israel [to] the tabernacle of the congregation. You shall bring the Levites before the Lord & the [people] of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.

Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the [people] of Israel, [so] they may [carry out] the service of the Lord. The Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the [bulls] & you shall offer 1 for a sin offering & the other for a burnt offering, to the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.

You shall [bring] the Levites before Aaron & his sons & offer them [as] an offering to the Lord. [Like this,] you shall separate the Levites from the [other people] of Israel & the Levites shall be Mine.

After that, the Levites shall go in & do the service [in] the tabernacle of the congregation. You shall [purify] them & [present] them for an offering. For they shall be [totally dedicated] to Me from the [people] of Israel. I have taken them for [Myself,] instead of the first born of all the children of Israel.

On the day that I [struck] the first born of the land of Egypt, I sanctified the firstborn of both man or beast of the [people] of Israel for Myself. I have taken the Levites [instead of] the first born of the children of Israel.

I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron & his sons from among the children [people] of Israel, to [assist in doing] the service in the tabernacle of the congregation, [for the people] of Israel & to make atonement for the children of Israel, [so] there [isn’t any] plague among the [people] of Israel, when [they] come near the sanctuary.

Moses, Aaron & all the congregation of the [people] of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that the Lord commanded Moses & the [people] of Israel concerning them. The Levites were purified & they washed their clothes & Aaron [presented] them as an offering before the Lord & made an atonement for them, to cleanse them.

After that, the Levites went to [serve] in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron & his sons & [they did to] the  Levites, as the Lord commanded Moses. The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, This is the [duty] of the Levites: from 25 years & [older.] They shall [assist in serving] the tabernacle of the congregation.

From the age of 50 years, they shall cease [their] service & [no longer do it.] But they shall minister with their brethren, [to supervise,] in the tabernacle of the congregation, [but] shall [not work.] You shall do [this] to the Levites [related to their responsibilities.]

Numbers 7:1-89 Offerings of the Twelve Tribes of Israel for Anointing the Altar

 

Offerings of the Twelve Tribes of Israel for Anointing the Altar

Numbers 7:1-89           The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

It [happened] on the day Moses had [completely] set up the tabernacle & had anointed & sanctified it & all [its] instruments, both of the altar & all the vessels [pertaining to it] & anointed & sanctified them.

The princes of the tribes of Israel, heads of their [father’s houses,] who were over [the offering of those who were counted.] They brought their offering before the Lord: 6 covered wagons & 12 oxen. [1 wagon & 2 oxen] for [each of the] 2 princes [to share] & they brought them [in front of] the tabernacle.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Take them & give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service, [so] that they may be [used for doing] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Moses took the wagons & oxen & gave them to the Levites.

[Moses] gave 2 wagons & 4 oxen to [Gershon’s] sons, according to [their] service. He gave 4 wagons & 8 oxen to [Merari’s] sons, according to [their] service under the [supervision] of Ithamar, the son of Aaron, the priest. He [didn’t give any to Kohath’s sons,] because [their] service that belonged to them, was that they should [carry the things for the sanctuary] on their shoulders.

For the [dedication & anointing] of the altar, each prince was to bring [their] offering, on [their] day, according to what the Lord said to Moses.

On the 1st day, Nashon, [Amminadab‘s] son, of tribe of Judah, his offering was: 1 silver charger [weighing] 130 shekels, 1 silver bowl [weighing] 70 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, both were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a [meat/grain] offering, 1 gold spoon of 10 shekels [weight] of gold, full of incense, 1 young bull, 1 ram, 1 lamb of the 1st year for a burnt offering.

[All animals offered were to be without blemish.]

On the 5th day, Shelumiel, [Zurishaddai‘s] son, prince of [the people] of Simeon, his offering was: 1 silver charger [weighing] 130 shekels, 1 silver bowl [weighing] 70 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, both were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a [meat/grain] offering, 1 gold spoon of 10 shekels [weight] of gold, full of incense, 1 young bull, 1 ram, 1 lamb of the 1st year for a burnt offering.
