Calvary Reflections
Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World

Thanks!
Thanks to Charles and Tim for filling in for the pastor this week.
Bible Reading
This week's Old Testament reading (Numbers 28-Deuteronomy 2) begins just after Joshua is announced as the new leader. In chapters 28-30, we read about the various offerings to the Lord and laws concerning vows.
Then we see some action in chapter 31. In chapter 32, two and a half tribes don't want to go across the Jordan, so they end up with land outside the Jordan.
Chapters 33-34 describe the journey and the boarders of the Land. Chapter 35 features the cities for the Levites (who didn't get land) and for folks to take refuge (if they are about to be killed, sorta).
Deuteronomy returns us to some more travels and action. King Sihon, in chapter 2, is one of the important kings that Israael had to defeat. r.
Interesting thoughts:
· In Numbers 29:12-38, the lists of animals, etc. are the same, except the number of bulls decreases by 1 each day.
· The Midianites in chapter 31 are descendants of Abraham and his 2nd wife, Keturah.
· Notice the captain's generosity in Numbers 31:52.
· Why would God destroy the nations of Canaan? To stamp out wickedness, punish their sin, and not leave paganism around.
· Remember how you read last week that Moses allowed some daughters to have an inheritance? Numbers 36 has more about that.
