00:17 Hi, and welcome to His Words are Life. I'm Kelley Mower
00:19 and thank you for joining me to read the Word of God today. 00:21 Before we start in the book of Numbers, let's pray together. 00:24 Dear Jesus, thank you so much that down through all the years 00:29 of history, You have brought us together to this point 00:33 to read these words. 00:34 And as we read them, may we not only hear them but may they take 00:39 root in our hearts and bear fruit to Your glory. 00:42 May we not just hear them as a collection of rules 00:48 and guidelines to the children of Israel, 00:50 but the lesson that you would wish for us to hear; 00:53 that You preserved them for to this day. Please come and teach 00:56 that to us, through the Holy Spirit. Thank you for loving us. 00:59 We love you so much. Amen 01:01 We are reading in the book of Numbers. We are in chapter 10 01:06 and beginning with verse 22 and this is the King James Version. 01:09 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim 01:13 set forward, according to their armies. 01:15 And over his host was Elishama the son of 01:19 Ammihud. And over the host of the tribe of the children of 01:22 Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur. 01:25 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin 01:28 was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 01:30 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, 01:35 which was the rearward of all the camps throughout their hosts 01:39 and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 01:44 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher 01:47 was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 01:50 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali 01:53 was Ahira the son of Enan. 01:56 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel 01:59 according to their armies, when they set forward. 02:02 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Refuel 02:06 the Midianite, Moses father- in-law, we are journeying unto 02:11 the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you: 02:14 come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath 02:19 spoken good concerning Israel. And he said unto him, I will 02:24 not go, but I will depart to mine own land and to my kindred. 02:28 And he said, Leave us not I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest 02:34 how we are to encamp in the wilderness, 02:36 and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. 02:39 And it shall be if thou go with us, yea, it shall be 02:43 that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, 02:45 the same will we do unto thee. 02:47 And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey. 02:52 And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them 02:56 in the three days' journey to search out a resting place 02:59 for them. And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, 03:03 when they went out of the camp, and it came to pass, 03:05 when the ark set forward that Moses said, Rise up Lord 03:10 and let Thine enemies b scattered 03:11 and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee. 03:14 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, 03:18 unto the many thousands of Israel. 03:20 We are continuing in chapter 11 of the book of Numbers. 03:25 This is the King James Version. 03:27 And when the people complained it displeased the Lord: 03:31 and the Lord heard it and His anger was kindled; 03:34 and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them 03:39 that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 03:41 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto 03:45 the Lord, the fire was quenched. And he called the name of the 03:49 place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 03:53 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a-lusting: 03:57 and the children of Israel also wept again and said, 04:01 Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish 04:05 which we did eat in Egypt freely the cucumbers, and the melons 04:08 and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 04:11 But now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all, 04:16 beside this manna before our eyes. And the manna was as 04:21 coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium 04:24 and the people went about and gathered it and ground it 04:28 in mills or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans 04:31 and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of 04:34 fresh oil. And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, 04:38 the manna fell upon it. Then Moses heard the people weep 04:43 throughout their families, every man in the door 04:45 of his tent. And the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; 04:50 Moses also was displeased. And Moses said unto the Lord, 04:55 Wherefore hast Thou afflicted thy servant and wherefore have 04:59 I not found favor in Thy sight, that thou layest the burden 05:02 of all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people 05:06 have I begotten them that Thou shouldest say unto me, Carry 05:09 them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the suckling 05:11 child unto the land which Thou swearest unto their fathers? 05:14 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? 05:17 for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat. 05:20 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is 05:24 too heavy for me. And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, 05:28 I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in Thy sight; 05:32 and let me not see my wretchedness. 05:33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me 70 men of the 05:38 elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the 05:41 the people and officers over them and bring them unto the 05:44 tabernacle of the congregation; that they may stand there with 05:47 thee. And I will come down and talk with you there. 05:51 And I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will 05:54 put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people 05:58 with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 06:02 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves 06:06 against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: 06:09 for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall 06:13 give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: 06:16 therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. 06:19 You shall not eat one day, nor 2 days, nor 5 days, neither 10 06:23 days, nor 20 days; but even a whole month until it come out 06:27 at your nostrils and it be loathsome unto you: 06:30 because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, 06:34 but have wept before Him saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 06:37 And Moses said, the people among whom I am are 600,000 footmen; 06:46 and Thou has said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a 06:50 whole month. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, 06:54 to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered 06:57 together for them to suffice them? And the Lord said unto 07:01 Moses, is the Lord's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now 07:07 whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. 07:10 And Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord 07:14 and gathered the 70 men of the elders of the people 07:17 and set them round about the tabernacle. 07:19 And the Lord came down in a cloud and spake unto him 07:23 and took of the spirit that was upon him and gave it 07:26 unto the 70 elders: and it came to pass that when the spirit 07:31 rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. 07:35 But there remained two of the men in the camp. The name of 07:39 one was Eldad, and the name of the other was Medad. 07:42 And the spirit rested upon them. And they were of them that were 07:47 written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: 07:49 and they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a young man 07:54 and told Moses and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy 07:56 in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, 08:02 one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses 08:06 forbid them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? 08:12 would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that 08:15 the Lord would put His spirit upon them. And Moses gat him 08:19 into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. And there went forth 08:24 a wind from the Lord and brought quails from the sea and let them 08:28 fall by the camp as it were a day's journey on this side 08:32 and as it were a day's journey on the other side round about 08:35 the camp. And as it were two cubits high upon the face 08:39 of the earth. And the people stood up all that day 08:43 and all that night and all the next day and they gathered 08:46 the quails. He that gathered least gathered 10 homers: 08:50 and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about 08:53 the camp. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth 08:57 ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against 09:01 the people. And the Lord smote the people with a very great 09:04 plague. And He called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: 09:09 because there they buried the people that lusted. 09:13 And the people journeyed from Kibroth Hattaavah unto 09:17 Hazeroth and abode at Hazeroth. 09:20 We are continuing to read in the book of Numbers. This is 09:23 chapter 12 and this is the King James Version. 09:25 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the 09:32 Ethiopian woman whom he had married. For he had married an 09:36 Ethiopian woman and they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only 09:41 by Moses? Hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard 09:47 it. Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men 09:52 which were upon the face of the earth. And the Lord spake 09:56 suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron and unto Miriam, 10:00 Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. 10:02 And they three came out. And the Lord came down in the pillar 10:09 of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, 10:11 and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth. 10:15 And He said, Hear now My words, If there be a prophet among you, 10:21 I, the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, 10:26 and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses 10:30 is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 10:34 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, 10:39 and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall 10:43 he behold. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against 10:48 my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 10:53 them and He departed. And the cloud departed from off the 10:58 tabernacle and behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: 11:03 And Aaron looked upon Miriam and behold she was leprous. 11:06 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas my Lord I beseech the, lay not 11:11 the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we 11:15 have sinned. Let her not be as one dead of whom the flesh is 11:20 half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 11:22 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I 11:27 beseech thee. And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had 11:33 but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? 11:36 Let her be shut out from the camp 7 days, and after that 11:41 let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from 11:46 the camp 7 days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was 11:50 brought in again. And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth 11:55 and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. 11:57 We're continuing in the book of Numbers and we're on chapter 13 12:01 and this is the King James Version. 12:03 And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, send thou men, that they 12:07 may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children 12:11 of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a 12:15 man, every one a ruler among them. 12:17 And Moses, by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the 12:22 wilderness of Paran. All those men were heads 12:26 of the children of Israel. And these were their names: 12:29 of the tribe or Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 12:34 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphalt the son of Hori. 12:38 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 12:42 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 12:47 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 12:51 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 12:56 Of the tribe of Zebulbn, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 13:00 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely of the tribe of Manasseh, 13:04 Gaddi the son of Susi. 13:07 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13:11 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 13:18 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 13:23 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out 13:27 the land. Moses called Oshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua. 13:33 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said 13:37 unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the 13:39 mountain and see the land, what it is, and the people 13:42 that dwelleth therin, whether they be strong or weak, 13:45 few or many; and what the land is that they dwell in, 13:50 whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they 13:54 dwell in, whether in tents, or in strongholds; 13:57 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, 14:01 whether there be wood therin, or not. 14:04 And be ye of good courage. and bring of the fruit 14:09 of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe 14:12 grapes So they went up and searched the land from the 14:17 wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. And they 14:22 ascended by the south and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, 14:26 Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. 14:28 Now Hebron was built 7 years before Zoan in Egypt. 14:32 Thank you for being with me to read and please join me again 14:35 next time to read the word of God together. Goodbye. |
