Genesis To Revelations

[Verite]

I'm so sorry to you aren't well!
Praying you'll feel better with rest and feel smashing soon 🙏
May you have a recuperative night!
Thank you very much!🙏 I am feeling better I'm focused and ready to get through His Word😀 I'm going to start reading soon.

I was thinking I'll start reading 15 chapters a day (starting today), which means I must start readings early in the morning. On Saturdays I'll read up to 50 chapters. That is 140 chapters a week. That would be an estimated time of finishing the Bible January 19th. Completely understand if you cannot post that amount of notes! On Saturdays I will only post key notes. God is inspiring me to do this and I have the drive to do it. Interested to know your thoughts😀

NUMBERS CHPATER 16 NOTES

v1 The men that went before Moses

v2 250 men

v3 The men questioned Moses and Aaron about their leadership over the congregation

v6-7 Moses says him and the men will takes censors to see is holy by tomorrow

v9 Moses said that Levite men took for granted the God chose them

v12 Dathan and Abiram refuse Moses’ command

v13-14 The Levite men question Moses further

v15 Moses gets angry with the Levite men

v17 Korah gathered the congregation against Moses and Aaron

v21 God said “Separate yourselves from among the congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” Twice God has wanted to do away with the children of Israel. Once before he killed a group of people in the children of Israel by fire. He allowed the Amalekites and Canaanites to kill a group of people in the children of Israel. Now he was willing to kill a group of Levites that were challenging Moses and Aaron. God mentioned consume the congregations - not clear if that meant the entire children of Israel or only the 250 men

v25 “And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.”

v26 Not clear who Moses is speaking to since it said he was speaking to the congregations, but he also says to depart from these wicked men. Who are the wicked men? Was Moses only talking to the people in v25 therefore the wicked men were the 250 men?

v27 “Dethan and Abiram came out” along with their families

v29-30 Proof Moses is the holy one among the men that challenged him

v32 The earth swallowed up Korah and all the men that appertained unto him

v35 Fire from the Lord consumed the 250 men that offered incense

v41 The children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron for the deaths of the Levite men

v46 Moses told Aaron to make an atonement for the children of Israel because God was angry

v49 14,700 people died in a plague God put on the children of Israel for their complaints regarding the matter of Korah

NUBMERS CHAPTER 17 NOTES

v1 God is speaking to Moses

v2 Twelve rods for the 12 princes of Israel

v3 Aaron’s name was written upon the rod of Levi

v4 The rods should be laid in the tabernacle of the congregation

v5 God will choose one of the rods and that man will be blessed

v8 The rod of Aaron was chosen by God

v10 “And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from them, that they die not.” - God shows the children of Israel again he has chosen Aaron

v13 The children of Israel are questioning Moses

@CarriePie I'll be posing throughout the day. It seems to be easier this way. Don't worry about posting in between my posts

NUMBERS CHAPTER 18 NOTES

v5 “And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.” - The purpose of the sanctuary and altar

v6 The Levite are still doing the service of the tabernacle

v8 Aaron is given the charge of Heave offerings

v12 They drank wine

v21 God gave the children of Levi a tenth of Israel’s inheritance. I need to review where the inheritance stands at this point. God has gotten upset with the children of Isreal a few times. Caleb and Joshua and their seeds were to enter into the promise land with their seeds. There was also the children of those who murmured against God, that he showed grace towards that wandered in the wilderness for 40 years I think it was

v23 “…your generations…” - Is God saying that they will have the inheritance in v21, but at this time for “your generations” they have no inheritance?

v25 God is speaking to Moses

v26 The Levites take an inheritance from the tithes of the children of Israel and should make a heave offering to the Lord for it

 

[Verite]

NUMBERS CHAPTER 19 NOTES

v1 God is speaking Moses and Aaron

v1-10 Purification of sin

v11 “He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.” - 7 is used again

v12 In reference to v11 must purify yourself on the third day to be clean

v13 Your soul is cut off if you do not purify yourself after touching a dead body. Touching the dead was a serious offense. How did they go about burials?

v14 “This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.” - Interesting, death was a serious thing to considered

v16 More law concerning dead bodies. Answers question for v13

 

[CarriePie]

Thank you very much!🙏 I am feeling better I'm focused and ready to get through His Word😀 I'm going to start reading soon.

Smashing! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hope that continues!

I was thinking I'll start reading 15 chapters a day (starting today), which means I must start readings early in the morning. On Saturdays I'll read up to 50 chapters. That is 140 chapters a week. That would be an estimated time of finishing the Bible January 19th. Completely understand if you cannot post that amount of notes! On Saturdays I will only post key notes. God is inspiring me to do this and I have the drive to do it. Interested to know your thoughts😀

Verite, you're killing me here
I admire your drive. Especially when reading through the entirety of the Bible the first time, it can be exhilarating.

I'm not going to pretend to be able to keep up with you. But, pondering this, I think changing things (mostly on my end) will be helpful to us both. I think that I'll hold off posting my daily notes, such as I have. If I come across something that I feel is of interest to mention, I'll post notes. I think I'll focus on replying to your notes instead. This will also give you more time to focus on your daily reading without having to read even more (speaking of my notes here). So, you read as much daily as you would like and are able to, and I will read as much daily as I would like and am able to. And I'll do my best to keep up with your notes daily (offering any commentary, as best I can).
This is just a suggestion that I thought would help us both (and me to keep up with you ).

You continue to do smashingly!

Blessings 🙏

NUMBERS CHAPTER 20

v1 The children of Israel are in the desert of Zin during Abib. Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh. We didn’t read much about Miriam

v2 The children of Israel are against Moses and Aaron again…

v3 Not clear on what statement the children of Israel were making, but I know it’s not a good one

v4-5 The children of Israel questioning with complaint

v7 God is speaking to Moses

v10 Moses calls the children of Israel rebels

v11 Moses produces water out of a rock with a rod as God instructed him to do in v8

v12 “And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eye of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.” - Is God saying that Moses and Aaron didn’t believe him are this congregation of Israel? If Moses and Aaron, when did they doubt the Lord? It makes sense for it to be the children of Israel, but the wording appears as if God is talking about Moses and Aaron

v14 “…Thus saith thy brother Israel..” Israel’s (Jacob) brother is Esau. It appears messengers of Moses are speaking to Esau

v16 “And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt…” - was the angel Moses?

v18 It was mentioned before that Esau is Edom. Edom told Moses messenger they could not pass through his land

v22 God is speaking to Moses and Aaron

v24 God said Aaron should not enter into the promised land because he rebelled against God’s word at Meribah. I have to go back and review, did not see that

v28 Aaron dies on mount Hor before the congregation as God directed. Moses and Eleazar come down from the mount

Thank you😀
Verite, you're killing me here
Not trying too!😅
I admire your drive. Especially when reading through the entirety of the Bible the first time, it can be exhilarating.
Yes! I have all my notes typed, therefore on the second read, I can add to it and each time moving forward. I couldn't think of marking up the Bible with all these notes!😅

NUMBERS CHAPTER 21

v1 King Arad the Canaanite fought Israel and took some prisoners. Should we know why Israel was not protected here? Was it because of their complaining that led to Aaron’s death?

v2 “…vowed a vow…” - need to review what the meaning is

v3 God listened to Israel and they destroyed the Canaanites. The place afterwards was called Hormah

v5 TCOI (The children of Israel) complained against God and Moses…

v6 God sent serpent among TCOI and many people died for their complaining and disrespect

v7 TCOI repented and Moses prayed to God for TCOI

v9 “And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that is a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

v10 TCOI are now in Oboth

v14 Where is the book of “the wars of the Lord” ?

v17 Israel sang

v21 Messengers met with Sihon king of the Amorites

v22 They asked to pass through the land

v23 King Sihon said no and fought against Israel

v24 Israel won the battle and took over the land

v35 Israel defeated og the king of bashan v33 and took over his land

 

[Verite]

NUMBERS CHAPTER 22

v3 Moab was afraid of TCOI for what they had done to King Sihon and King Og

v4 Midian is mentioned in this verse. The Midianites sold Joseph into Egypt. Moses’ wife was a Midianite I think. Trying to note Midian in regard to Moses’ wife and claims that Midian is associated with Ethiopia. If the Bible does not make that clear how can that be assumed? Zippor was king of the Moabites

v6 King Zippor tells Balaam to curse TCOI

v12 God tells Balaam he cannot curse TCOI

v14 Balaam refused to go and curse TCOI

v18 Balaam was a man of God and obeyed God

v20 God tells Balaam to go with the men

v22 I don’t understand why God is angry if He told Balaam to go with the men

v23 The angel of the Lord came to earth to face Balaam

v25 Is only the donkey seeing the angel of the Lord and not Balaam?

v28 God allowed the donkey to speak to Balaam

v29 Balaam is not shocked the donkey is speaking?

v31 This verse answers v25. I wonder how Balaam recognized him as the angel of the Lord

v35 The angel of the Lord tells Balaam to go with the men. I thought God was angry in v22

v40 Balaam is getting treated well because they think he will curse TCOI

 

[Verite]

NUMBERS CHAPTER 23

v1 Balaam has authority

v7-10 Balaam obeys God and speaks to the princes of Moab in parable. v10 “Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Le me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!” - Interesting what he said at the end there

v13 Balaam tells them that he will curse TCOI from another place

v20 Balaam says that he should bless TCOI

v27 Why is Balak still thinking Balaam will curse TCOI?

 

[Verite]

NUMBERS CHAPTER 24 NOTES

v4 Balaam was in a trance

v7 Who is Agag?

v9 “…cursed is he that curseth thee.”

v10 Balak is angry with Balaam . “…blessed them these three time.” I was wondering why Balak was still believing after the second time

v11 Balak said that Balaam will no longer be honoured

v13 Balak did not listen to what Balaam mentioned beforehand

v14 Balaam is in a trance

v17 “I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.”

v18 Edom shall be a possession

v20 Amalek was there with Balaam. He told Amalek he will perish forever

v22 The Kenites will be taken captive by Asshur

v24 Asshur or Eber or both will perish forever?

v25 Balaam and Balak parted way

 

[Verite]

NUMBERS CHAPTER 25 NOTES

v1 TCOI began whoredom with the daughter of Moab. Time and time and TCOI have been falling into sin

v2 TCOI bowed down to other gods again…

v3 God was angry

v5 Moses had all men that bowed to Baalpeor slayed by the instruction of God. Don’t understand why they were weeping

v8 Phinehas, Eleazar’s son, killed a man of Israel and the Midianitish woman to keep the plague away from TCOI. Were they going to commit sin?

v9 Deaths from the plague were 24,000. Don’t understand what was the meaning in v8 when it said “to keep the plague away”

v10 God is speaking to Moses

v11 Answers question in v9. God states again that he is Jealous

v12 God gives Phinehas his covenant of peace for what he did

v13 God blesses Phinehas’ seeds

v14 Zimir was slain by Phinehas. He was a prince of a chief of the Simeonites

v15 The woman that Phinehas slayed was Cozbi. She was the daughter of a prince of Midian

v16 God told Moses to smite the Midianites

@CarriePie I'm still under the weather a bit, feeling better than yesterday😀 I should be back to the same stamina within a couple days. Learning a lot. The children of Isreal keep sinning and God gets angry plenty with them. They don't teach you this in Sunday School! I have to finish up to Deuteronomy 18 tomorrow. I think I should be feeling well enough tomorrow. Hope you have a restful night🌙

There is a lot more of God getting angry with the children of Israel coming through the OT!

I've been doing household chores...and at the moment I'm cooking lamb
But, I intend to go over your notes later!

I hope and pray that you will feel all of smashingness soon!!
Have a peaceful & recuperative night 🙏
