The book of Numbers

This book was written in 1444-1405 BC. The name comes from the census when Moses counted the people.  It tells about the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness for 39 years.  It starts when the Israelites are at Mt. Sinai.  It tells about their travels through the wilderness. It ends in the plains of Moab just before the Israelites enter Canaan. 

The book of Numbers tells about 2 generations of Israelites. The 1st generation did not obey God. They could not enter Canaan. The 2nd generation obeyed God. They were allowed to go into Canaan.

Numbers 25


The Israelites were in the place called Shittim.  Some of the Israelite men had sexual relations with women from the place named Moab. The women from Moab did not worship God. They believed in Baal-peor--a false god, not the real God. The Moabites offered sacrifices of food to Baal. Some of the Israelite men ate the sacrificed food. They also bowed down and worshipped Baal. God was very angry at the Israelites. 
[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
[2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
[3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.


God talked to Moses. He told Moses that the men should be punished. The heads (leaders) of Israelites should judge the men who sinned.  Then God would stop being angry with Israel.
[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.


Moses told the leaders to kill every man who worshipped Baal. 
[5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.


All of the Israelites were meeting at the tabernacle. They were crying about what happened.  Then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to meet his family. The Israelites were not supposed to have sexual relations with the women from other groups. 
[6] And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

 
Aaron's grandson (Eleazar's son) saw the man and the woman. He jumped up and got a spear (stick with a sharp end).  He ran and followed the Israelite man and the Midianite woman. They went into a tent.  Phineas stabbed the man and the woman and killed them.  Then God stopped being angry. God stopped the sickness that many Israelites had.
[7] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
[8] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.


24,000 people died in the plague (sickness) before Phinehas killed the Israelite man and Midianite woman. 
[9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.


God talked to Moses. God was happy with Phinehas.  After Phinehas killed the Israelite man and Midianite woman, God was not mad at the Israelites anymore. No more Israelites would die now. 
[10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[11] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.


God made a special covenant promise with Phinehas. From now on, Phinehas and all of his descendants (children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, ...) will be priests. Phinehas was special because he killed people who were sinning against God.  Then God forgave the Israelites.
[12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
[13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

Phinehas killed a man and a woman. The Israelite man's name was Zimri. He was from the family of Simeon.  The Midianite woman's name was Cozbi. Her father was named Zur. Zur was a leader in Midian. 
[14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
[15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

God talked to Moses.  He told Moses to fight a war with the Midianites.  Moses should kill the Midianites. God was mad at the Midianites because they caused Israelites to sin.  The Midianites worshiped Baal-peor (a false god, not a real god).  They caused some of the Israelites to worship Baal-peor, too. 
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
[18] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.



Numbers 26


Many people died from the plague (sickness). Then God talked to Moses and Eleazar. He told them to count the Israelites again. They should count all of the people who were 20 years old and older. They needed to see how many people were old enough to fight in a war.

[1] And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
[2] Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.


The Israelites were now in Moab near the city of Jericho.  Jericho was near the Jordan River.  Moses and Eleazar talked to the Israelites.  They told the Israelites to count the people.  They should count everyone who was 20 years old and older.
[3] And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[4] Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.

Each family will get land in Canaan.



God talked to Moses.  He said that every family will get land in Canaan.  Big families will get more land than small families. 

[52] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[53] Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
[54] To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.


They will divide Canaan. Then each family will pick their part of the land. They will pick the part "by lot". "By lot" means by chance, like a lottery. Moses will not tell the families which parts they get. But God will help them pick the parts He wants them to have. Each family will get as much land as they need. 
[55] Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
[56] According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.


The tribe of Levi

Jacob's son Levi had 3 sons:  Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
        Gershon's family was the Gershonites.            
        Kohath's family was the Kohathites.              
        Merari's family was the Merarites.

The families of Levi's grandsons were:  the Libnites, the Hebronites, the Mahlites, the Mushites, and the Korathites.


[57] And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
[58] These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.


Levi's son, Kohath, had a son named Amram.  Amram married Jochebed. Jocebed was Levi's daughter. Jochebed was born in Egypt.
           Amram and Jochebed had 3 children:   Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. 
                    Aaron's sons were:   Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.  Nadab and Abihu died after they
                    offered bad fire to God.
Click here to read more about when Nadab and Abihu died.

[59] And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
[60] And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[61] And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.


The tribe of Levi had 23,000 males who were 1 month old or older. The Levites were counted separately. The family of Levi will not get land in Canaan.  
[62] And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.


This was the second time that Moses counted the Israelites.  The first time was Mt. Sinai. Aaron helped Moses count the Israelites the first time.  Now the Israelites were camped near the Jordan River near the city of Jericho.  Eleazar helped Moses count the Israelites this time.    
[63] These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.


Most of the people in this census (count) were different. Most of the people in the first count were all dead. Only Caleb and Joshua were still alive. After the Israelites sinned (they did not go into Canaan when God them to go. Please click here to read about that in Numbers 13 -15), God said that only Caleb and Joshua could go into Canaan. All of the other Israelites would die.
[64] But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
[65] For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers 27

The daughters of Zelophehad ask for some land in Canaan

Zelophehad was a descendant of Joseph. He was from the tribe of Joseph’s son, Manasseh. Zelophehad had five daughters and no sons. The daughters' names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They came to talk to Moses and Eleazar the priest.
[1] Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
[2] And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,



The daughters told Moses about their father. Zelophehad died in the desert. But he died before the other Israelites sinned. Zelophehad did not sin. He was not one of the people who refused to go into Canaan.  

[3] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.


Zelophehad did not have any sons. Sons carried the father's name. Sons got the family's land. The daughters said that in a few years, no one would remember Zelophehad's  name.  In Canaan, the other men in Zelophehad's father's family (Zelophehad's nephews) will get land. The daughters asked for part of the land, too. 
[4] Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.


Moses talked with God about this request. God said yes. The daughters can have some of their father's family's  land. 

[5] And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
[6] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[7] The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.



God gives Moses laws about inheriting land

After the Israelites go into Canaan, each family will get land. When the head of the family (usually the father) dies, someone else in the family will get the land (inherit the land). The land should always stay in the family. Usually, if a father died, his sons would inherit his land. But if a man had no sons, there were special rules.
 
God told Moses that if a man died and the man had no sons, his land would be given to his daughter. If the man had no sons or daughters, his land would go to his brothers. If the man had no brothers, then his land would go to his father’s family. If his father did not have any family, then his land would go to his closest relative.

[8] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
[9] And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
[10] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
[11] And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.


Joshua will be the next leader of Israel

God told Moses to go up into the Abarim mountains. The mountains were high. Moses could stand on a mountain and see far. He could see the Canaan, the Promised Land. God told Moses he would die after he saw the Promised Land.  Moses was not allowed to go into the Promised Land because he sinned at Meribah. At Meribah,  Moses did not obey God.  God told him to speak to the rock to get water. But Moses hit the rock.  Click here to read more about Moses at Meribah.

[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
[13] And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
[14] For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

Moses talked to God about Israel's new leader.  Moses wanted God to pick a new leader. Moses wanted the Israelites to have a good leader. A good leader would lead the people in wars. If the Israelites did not have a good leader, they would be the same as sheep with no shepherd.  
[15] And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
[16] Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
[17] Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

God said that Joshua will be the new leader. God said that the Holy Spirit will be in Joshua. God told Moses to have a special ceremony for Joshua.  Eleazar the priest and all of the Israelites will come to the ceremony. Moses will put his hands on Joshua. Everyone will see that Moses is making Joshua the new leader. 
[18] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
[19] And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
[20] And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.


Moses talked to God directly. But Joshua will not be able to do that. Joshua must ask the priest, Eleazar, what God wants the Israelites to do. Eleazar the priest has the Urim and Thummin. No one now really knows what the Urim and Thummin looked like. When Eleazar asks God questions, the Urim and Thummin help him to receive God's answers. They tell Eleazar what God says. 

[21] And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

Moses obeyed God.  Moses had a ceremony. Eleazar the priest and all of the Israelites came to the ceremony. Moses put his hands on Joshua. Joshua was the new leader of Israel.
[22] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
[23] And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
