The Vengeance of The LORD

Numbers 31

January 4, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Numbers 31

The wrath of YeHoVaH had been executed against the Children of Israel who committed fornication with the Moabite women resulting in the death of 24,000 Israelites. However, YeHoVaH had not forgotten the culprits who seduced His people to worship their god. In this chapter of Numbers, YeHoVaH instructed Moses to avenge the Children of Israel against the Midianites which would become one of the last Instructions given to Moses before the end of his life.

Moses’ Prayer Denied

March 7, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 3

Moses, the deliverer and Prophet of God to Israel, performed great signs and wonders. His leadership of YeHoVaH’s armies struck terror into the hearts of nations. Moses, whom YeHoVaH spoke to face to face, on several occasions prayed to God on Israel’s behalf and prevented YeHoVaH from destroying Israel because of their rebellion. After forty years of wandering in the vast wilderness and waging war with the armies of kings and nations on their way to the Land of Promise, that which Moses wanted from YeHoVaH, more than anything else, was denied.

Tribal Land & Marriage

February 8, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Numbers 36

The land promised to the Tribes of Israel had specific Instructions concerning its borders for each individual tribe. An issue arose amongst a tribal member of Manasseh, a son of Joseph, concerning a man who had no sons and only daughters. The issue was about what would happen to his inheritance in the Promised Land. Upon receiving Instructions from YeHoVaH and giving them to the tribal leaders, another issue arose about marriage and the Tribal Land that will be addressed in this study.

Land of the Levites

February 1, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Numbers 35

In the previous Chapter, YeHoVaH instructed Moses to “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance will have these boundaries:'' Twelve Tribes were allotted land as an inheritance per YeHoVaH’s Instructions.   Levi, the thirteenth Tribe was not given Tribal Land, but instead was given land within the twelve Tribal Lands. This study will address the Land of the Levites.
