SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 Numbers 19:1-2 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come.’” As this chapter begins, it addresses what is perhaps the strangest rite in […]
SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 Numbers 18:20 Then the Lord said to Aaron: “You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.” In this verse, God establishes a very important concept as it relates to those who serve Him in His Sanctuary — don’t […]
SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 Numbers 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as an ordinance forever; it is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord with you and your descendants with you. In the previous verses, once again, […]
SEPTEMBER 5, 2022 Numbers 17:12-13 So, the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Surely we die, we perish, we all perish! Whoever even comes near the tabernacle of the Lord must die.” For all the attention that Aaron’s rod garnered through this incident — and it was indeed merited attention — what we should not overlook is […]
SEPTEMBER 4, 2022 Numbers 17:9-10 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod. And the Lord said to Moses, “Bring Aaron’s rod back before the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels.” To clearly show that Aaron had been appointed, […]
SEPTEMBER 3, 2022 Numbers 17:5 And it shall be that the rod of the man whom I choose will blossom; thus I will rid Myself of the complaints of the children of Israel, which they make against you. In the aftermath of Korah’s rebellion and the subsequent complaints coming from the people, the tribes were instructed to present the […]
SEPTEMBER 2, 2022 Exodus 16:46 So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the Lord.” It is amazing to me that, after all that had occurred to Korah and those […]
SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 Numbers 16:38 The censers of these men who sinned against their own souls, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar. Because they presented them before the Lord, therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel. It is interesting that those things that may […]
AUGUST 31, 2022 Numbers 16:33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. After all is considered, Korah’s rebellion amounted to an unwillingness to believe Moses. By his actions, he didn’t believe that God had visited him in […]
AUGUST 30, 2022 Numbers 16:29-30 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then […]
AUGUST 29, 2022 Numbers 16:26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” At a certain point, it seems that some of the Levites, including the sons of Korah, began to distance themselves from the ringleaders […]
AUGUST 28, 2022 Numbers 16:23-24 So the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ” In response to Moses intercession, God instructed the people to separate themselves from the rebels. In short, God gave everyone a chance to separate themselves from evil doers and demonstrate […]
