Numbers 33

the fourth book of moses, called numbers
Moses · c. 1445–1405 BC
Chapter the Thirty-third
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.
And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.
And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border of Moab.
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.
And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

Verse by verse, the C2000 series. Permission granted by The Word For Today.
Verses 1-53 Chapter 33 Now in chapter thirty-three you have a summary of their exodus out of Egypt. Moses sort of wrote down all of the places where they had stopped as they made this journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. And for the most part it's just a lot of names that you don't recognize; some of them are new, some of them are the first time we see them, some of them we remember from our journey in the book of Exodus. Now in verse fifty-one of chapter thirty-three the Lord commanded Moses, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; Then ye shall drive out all of the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down their high places: And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. ( Numbers 33:51-53 ) Now God wanted all of the artifacts destroyed because the pictures, for the most part, were extremely lewd, lascivious. The molten images, for the most part, were their gods that they worshipped, which were in many cases grotesque and exaggerated sexual features. And the high places where they offered the sacrifices unto their gods and they went through their religious rights were ordered utterly destroyed lest there remain that polluting influence in the land because, again, whatever a man sows that he also's gonna reap. And if you are planting in your mind the images of sexual lasciviousness then you're gonna be reaping to your flesh. God wanted all of those things to be obliterated, to be wiped out, and so he ordered them to utterly destroy the pictures, the molten images, and the places of worship, the high places that were in the land. And you're to divide the land by lots for the inheritance ( Numbers 33:54 ) Verses 54-56 In other words, dividing off the land and then casting lots to see which tribes would get which area. And then the tribes were to divide up the land and to divide it up to the families. In other words, each family within the tribe was to be given its land grant. And so this is the dividing out of the land, giving a portion of the land to everybody, each family getting its own land grant and this land was to then remain in those families perpetually. Now in verse fifty-five the Lord warns them, But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that these which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land where you're dwelling. Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them. ( Numbers 33:54-55 ) In other words, these people will drag you down and ultimately I will have to destroy you out of the land, even as I destroyed them out of the land. Sin always has a polluting influence. When I was a kid my mom used to always tell me about the one rotten apple in the barrel. How it can spoil the whole barrel and how it is important to choose your friends and to select them, because you get one who's bad whose influence can be bad on the entire group. So, God ordered them to drive out the people completely lest that they would vex them. Now, Israel failed to obey the Lord in this. A lot of times we think we know better than God. We think that we can handle it. We think that God really doesn't understand the case completely or he doesn't understand us completely. And yet that rule might apply, you know, to others but surely it doesn't apply to me. And we learn to our own dismay and shame the folly of disobedience and we discover that God knew us better than we knew ourselves and we realize how foolish it was for us to not to completely obey God.

Commentary on Numbers 33

Whosoever Will · the Seven Threads Commentary

Numbers 33:1

Six cities of refuge are appointed, three on each side of the Jordan, available to any person who kills someone unintentionally. The city of refuge is the place of safety from the avenger of blood. Once inside, the manslayer is safe. He must stay inside; if he leaves and the avenger of blood finds him outside the city, the avenger may kill him without blood guilt. He is released when the high priest dies. The structure is precise and theologically loaded. The accidental killer has done something that carries real weight. A person has died by his action even if the intent was not murder. He needs a place of refuge and a basis for ultimate liberation. The city provides the refuge. The death of the high priest provides the liberation. Thread 6 is in the typology: the manslayer who has fled to the city of refuge and dwells there is the type of the believer who is in Christ. The safety is real and absolute as long as the person remains in the city, as long as they remain in him. The death of the ultimate High Priest, Christ himself, is the basis of the final liberation from all the guilt of what we have done. He died and his death is the ground of our freedom. Hebrews develops this typology in detail: Christ is both the high priest whose death liberates and the city of refuge to whom we have fled (Hebrews 6:18). Thread 5 is the Mosaic legal structure: the cities of refuge are a precise legal institution within the Mosaic administration that points beyond itself to what it cannot accomplish on its own terms, the permanent liberation that requires not a geographical city but a person.
The cities of refuge, the manslayer flees there and is safe until the high priest's death releases him, is the clearest single OT type of Christ as refuge and the death of the High Priest as the ground of liberation.
עַד מוֹת הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֹל אֲשֶׁר מָשַׁח אֹתוֹ בְּשֶׁמֶן הַקֹּדֶשׁ (ad mot ha-kohen ha-gadol asher mashach oto be-shemen ha-qodesh): until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil: the release of the manslayer from the city of refuge is conditional on the death of the anointed high priest; the death of the mashiach-kohen (anointed priest) is what liberates the one who fled; the typological connection to the death of the ultimate High Priest as the basis of liberation from all guilt is embedded in the legal structure

Numbers 33:11

Six cities of refuge are appointed, three on each side of the Jordan, available to any person who kills someone unintentionally. The city of refuge is the place of safety from the avenger of blood. Once inside, the manslayer is safe. He must stay inside; if he leaves and the avenger of blood finds him outside the city, the avenger may kill him without blood guilt. He is released when the high priest dies. The structure is precise and theologically loaded. The accidental killer has done something that carries real weight. A person has died by his action even if the intent was not murder. He needs a place of refuge and a basis for ultimate liberation. The city provides the refuge. The death of the high priest provides the liberation. Thread 6 is in the typology: the manslayer who has fled to the city of refuge and dwells there is the type of the believer who is in Christ. The safety is real and absolute as long as the person remains in the city, as long as they remain in him. The death of the ultimate High Priest, Christ himself, is the basis of the final liberation from all the guilt of what we have done. He died and his death is the ground of our freedom.

Six cities of refuge are appointed, three on each side of the Jordan, available to any person who kills someone unintentionally. The city of refuge is the place of safety from the avenger of blood. Once inside, the manslayer is safe. He must stay inside; if he leaves and the avenger of blood finds him outside the city, the avenger may kill him without blood guilt. He is released when the high priest dies. The structure is precise and theologically loaded. The accidental killer has done something that carries real weight. A person has died by his action even if the intent was not murder. He needs a place of refuge and a basis for ultimate liberation. The city provides the refuge. The death of the high priest provides the liberation. Thread 6 is in the typology: the manslayer who has fled to the city of refuge and dwells there is the type of the believer who is in Christ. The safety is real and absolute as long as the person remains in the city, as long as they remain in him. The death of the ultimate High Priest, Christ himself, is the basis of the final liberation from all the guilt of what we have done. He died and his death is the ground of our freedom.

The death of the high priest provides the liberation. Thread 6 is in the typology: the manslayer who has fled to the city of refuge and dwells there is the type of the believer who is in Christ. The safety is real and absolute as long as the person remains in the city, as long as they remain in him. The death of the ultimate High Priest, Christ himself, is the basis of the final liberation from all the guilt of what we have done. He died and his death is the ground of our freedom. Hebrews develops this typology in detail: Christ is both the high priest whose death liberates and the city of refuge to whom we have fled (Hebrews 6:18). Thread 5 is the Mosaic legal structure: the cities of refuge are a precise legal institution within the Mosaic administration that points beyond itself to what it cannot accomplish on its own terms, the permanent liberation that requires not a geographical city but a person.
The cities of refuge, the manslayer flees there and is safe until the high priest's death releases him, is the clearest single OT type of Christ as refuge and the death of the High Priest as the ground of liberation.

Six cities of refuge are appointed, three on each side of the Jordan, available to any person who kills someone unintentionally. The city of refuge is the place of safety from the avenger of blood.
