moses 5-4-3 continued
numbers continued
until now summarized: counted the israelites, assigned the service of levites, some laws to read and sent spies.
korah 16 and many challenge the leadership of aron wanting to replace aron as priest, but god 16.35 punished the 250 challengers. [how? killed in fire- later see previous post "no proportion" if you can stomach reading bodily punishment.]
god also performed miracles showing the selection of aron as priest: the staff 17.8 of aron sprouted budded blossomed . once the nations doubts were removed they were instructed 18.12 to give to god and god gave to the family of aron the first of oil wine and grain given to god- by giving to 18.8 aron's sons.
if someone 19.11 touches "nps adam" the dead soul-
wait! is the soul something someone can touch? a soul is spiritual and cannot die! nor be touched!
the hebrew word nps is a body that can die and be touched. god breathed into adam and made him "nps" this same term here and as animals. "our form" is unique to human but adam lost that.
back to numbers: if one touches 19.12 the corpse must clean with water. as mentioned, from the end of leviticus no command by the limit "these" and even talmud agrees it is a limit no new law from "now" the word "these" in leviticus 26, therefore this can only be a symbol because it is not a command. symbol for what?
symbol of dead faith needing water- water means "the word of god" john 4, defining "born of water" near it in john 3.
moses hit 20.11 the rock twice and water flow. in 20.2 there was no water because 20.1 "first month" this tells what occurred earlier before the event in exodus 17.6 yet miriam died now- in the first month- if so when was she a leper numbers 12? between miriam sing exodus 15.20 and the end of the first month.
snakes attacked and 21.6 bit and many israelite die. god said 21.8 make a snake on a pole.
balaam 22-24 comes to curse israel- and abraham was told "all who curse israel will be cursed" israel through sara in romans 9.7-9, and cursed means by god- is it worth it?
none of the four speeches in numbers match the parallel speeches in josepus except 2 details in the last speech which coincide in these sources.
we can be confident that numbers what we call numbers is not the original prophetic book which explains the problem above of the story of miriam because the book is man and therefore flawed.
moabite women 25.1-2 invite to bow to idols and god hit israel with a plague- the law of moses is justly called "the law of death" as we see here. count 26=chapter 26, the israelites and moses appointed 27.18 joshua leader before death and all saw- the assembly saw and know who the leader chose to lead after. this prevents division.
laws of sacrifices to read 28-29 because "these" are commands and no new from leviticus. daily lambs and of sabath and new moon and holidays.
a father can 30.5 cancel the vow of a daughter. war 31.3 against midian some accuse jews of killing people for land- although joshua did that according to bible- recent history has jew giving away land gaza and sinai peninsula and other instances- the opposite of taking- giving this has happened in our century and gave gaza in the new 21st century. what effect? the rocket launchers were moved closer and no peace for land. this midian war was not for land.
2 tribes ask 32.5 for land east of the jordan and god tells 34 the border approves-
note the north border until lebo hamat calld "city hama" -"Hama is a city on the banks of the Orontes River in west-central Syria. It is located 213 kilometres north of Damascus and 46 kilometres north of Homs." yes gods plan is north of damascus
this is gds plan yet the israeli army isnot trying to take this land until the north border north of hama.
we conclude the summary of numbers with the list of places the israelites 33 travel and that daughters can inherit but then only marry the same tribe- resulting in the rabbis saying when they cannot marry the same tribe daughters cannot inherit.
