Study 19 From The Book of Numbers
is: Numbers 25 and 26
1.
Chapter 25. Why was God’s anger
so fierce against the sins of His people? Cf. 1 Cor. 10: 6-12. In this
situation what two complementary concerns stirred Phinehas to action? Who
likewise was moved to action on our account by similar concerns?
2.
Chapter 26. Compare the numbering in chapter 1. This is a
new generation. See verses 64, 65. Notice which tribes had increased and which decreased. What explains the survival of Caleb and
Joshua?
Note. 25:1-5. Nu. 31:16 and Rev. 2:14 reveal that
these developments were due to Balaam’s activities. The Israelites were seduced
into idolatry and immorality.
