Today's reading was great, right? I personally enjoyed it. As well as several others. I thought this reading was so funny. Now I understand why Samson was as stupid as he was in the story with Delilah (we'll be coming to that story soon enough!). Samson was an idiot almost as much as all of Israel were idiots. They repeatedly, time and time again, in today's reading complained to God, specifically saying "We would have been better off dying in Eygpt!". That alone after the second or third time saying it and getting in trouble for it should have clued them in on how upset this made God when they said it! Instead of thinking, even for the smallest second, there were those among the Israelites that were pig-headed enough to complain to God. Not once, twice, three, but at least four times! (Extra Credit for anyone who can tell me how many times the Israelites complained to God in Leviticus).
Well, let's see if any of you can answer these questions!
- Who did God claim as his own in Numbers 8:16?
- How did the Israelites know when to break camp and move the Tabernacle?
- What happened after the Lord sent quail to fill the bellies of the gluttonous Israelites? What did God do?
- Why is Numbers 12:3 a hilarious passage? (YES, this means go look it up and read it again really quickly. It's one verse, you'll manage)
- What did God tell Moses and Aaron to do to get water to come out of the rock, and what did Moses do instead?
- Who wrote the book of Numbers? Moses
- In Numbers ch. 1, what was Moses supposed to record? All those who were old enough to be Warriors in the tribes
- Which clans were recorded? All of them but the Levite's
- What would the woman have to drink in the test to see if she was faithful to her husband? Bitter water, although I believe some translations read "dusty water"
- What happened if she lied under oath? It meant she had been unfaithful to her husband.
