Numbers 11:17,25

and go back to Egypt".

time they left Egypt until now".

have me against you '.

Numbers 17:6-8 So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and their leaders gave him twelve staffs, one for the leader of each of their ancestral tribes, and

budded, blossomed

and produced almonds.

[2] you are to have the part of the most holy offerings that is kept from the fire. . . . This also is yours: whatever is set aside from the gifts of all the wave offerings of the Israelites. . . . [3] Everything in Israel that is devoted to the LORD is yours. . . [4] I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 20:10-12He and Aaron gathered the assembly together

in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?“ Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the

Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them".

Page 47: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 20:14,17,18 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: Please

you rebelled against my command at 'the waters of Meribah”.

Page 49: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 21:4-6But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food! Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.

Page 50: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 21:8,9The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.“ So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Page 51: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

John 3:14-16 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

Page 54: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 22:7The elders of Moab

and Midian left, taking with them the fee for divination. When they came to Balaam, they told him what Balak

had said.

Numbers 22:12But God said to

Balaam, "Do not go with them. You

must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed."

Page 55: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 22:15-17Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first. "This is what Balak son of Zippor says: 'Do not let anything keep you from coming to me, because I will reward you handsomely and do whatever you say.'"

Page 56: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 22:20 That night God came to Balaam and said, "Since these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you."

Page 58: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 23:1,2 Balaam said, "Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.“Balak did as Balaam said.,

Page 59: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Then Balaam uttered his

oracle:

Numbers 23:7,9

I see a people who live apart

and do not consider themselves one of the nations.

Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the fourth part of Israel?

Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my end be like theirs"!

Page 60: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Then Balaam uttered his

oracle:

Numbers 23:18,19,21

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man,

that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act?

Does he promise and not fulfill?

The LORD their God is with them;the shout of the King

is among them.

"Their king will be greater than Agag;

[B ]by committing sexual immorality.

Page 64: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 25:1,2the men began to indulge in

sexual immorality with Moabite women,

who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The

people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down

before these gods.

some of them were; as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.

Page 65: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 25:7-9

When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left

the assembly, took a spear in his handand followed the Israelite into the tent. He

drove the spear through both of them-- through the Israelite and into the

woman's body. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; but those who died in the plague numbered

24,000.

Page 66: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.
Page 67: Meaningful Structure of the Five Books of Moses.

Numbers 26:63-65 These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai. For the LORD had told those Israelites they would surely die in the desert, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son

of Nun. Joshua Caleb

before their eyes ".
