Summary Israel's Journey Numbers 33

Numbers 33:1 "These are the journeys of the children of Israel which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron."

I know of no other peoples who have their family trees documented so well. In ancient history, I know of no nation that knows their history so well. The records are so precise it leaves no room for doubt and are often repeated.

The first part of this chapter tells of the journey and where Israel stopped and where they went next. The last part of the chapter concerns the future crossing into Canaan and leaves a warning. Israel is to utterly possess the land, not share it.

v55 "But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes an thorns in your sides and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell."

We will see how well they did with their instructions in later studies.

Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."
