YeHoVaH instructed Moses to do a second census after the hanging of the heads of the leaders and the death of the 24,000 people who died in the plague in the previous Chapter. The numbers of the tribes and families that were counted, including the Levites, had drastically changed reflecting YeHoVaH’s promise, over 38 years earlier, concerning those that would be wasted in the wilderness.

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.
