NUMBERS 33 Rameses was THE STARTING
POINT for the children of Israel on their way out of Egypt to the Promised
Land.
3b-4: What a contrast of fate! As
the Israelites were marching out of Egypt, their land of bondage, with
boldness, the Egyptians were all downcast and in great mourning burying their
dead firstborns! Only God can wreak such CONTRAST OF FATE when a former
downtrodden slave can saunter confidently while his hitherto haughty master
looks on morosely.
38: AARON died at 123 on mount Hor
on the first day of the fifth month (Jewish calendar) in the 40th year of the
journey of the Israelites.
50-53: God’s charge to the people of
Israel on WHAT TO DO WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND of Canaan; they were to
be dispossessed and driven out of the land, and their engraved stones, moulded
images and high places destroyed.
54: God instructed a DIVISION of the
land BY LOT as an inheritance among the families, and then a PROPORTIONATE
ALLOTMENT of the land to each family according to their sizes.
55: The consequences of NOT
ELIMINATING ALL THE INHABITANTS of the land/territory one is to take over. The
remnants will eventually constitute irritants in one’s eyes, thorns in the
flesh and a source of harassment to the person. This is also applicable to one’s
habits after being born again. Those habits/indulgences that one did not get
rid of will constantly be the Achilles’ heels that the devil will use to get
one to fall.
