Numbers chs. 1-6 By: Edward Short© 1.Num. 1: Vs. 1: How long have the Israelites been gone from Egypt? Vs. 2: What did God tell Moses to do? Who was included and who was not included? Which tribe was the largest? What was the total number? Which tribe was not counted? 2.Num. 2: Chapter two tells how the twelve tribes did what? 3.Num. 3 and 4: Chapters three and four describe the branches of which tribe? Explain the meaning and significance of Num. 3:11-13, 41, 44-45. 4.Num. 3:5-10: Note: All priests were L____ but not all Levites were priests. Priests were limited to descendants of Aaron. Other Levites helped the p_____. 5.Num. 3:5-10: See Lev. 10, especially vs. 1-3: “Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command. So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Moses then said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke of when he said: "'Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.'" Aaron remained silent.” God demanded purity; God demanded obedience. Nadab and Abihu presented “strange fire.” [The Easy-to-Read Chinese Version is also given: “Fire not approved by the Lord.”] They disobeyed Exodus 30:9 (7-10). Bible scholars believe that the item Nadab and Abihu offered was not approved by God; the method they used was also wrong; they worshipped in vain and it was rejected by God. Who were Nadab and Abihu? They had seen God’s (what) (Ex. 24:1, 9-11)? Why did God made them fall “dead before the LORD?” What do Christians today learn from this incident? (See Clyde M. Woods, The Living Way Commentary on the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. Shreveport, LA: Lambert Book House, 1974.) 6.Num. 4: Numbers ch. 4 describes the census and work responsibilities of three branches of the Levites. List the three groups. 7.Num.5-6: When the Israelites prepared to leave the Sinai, Moses pointed out and emphasized several laws. Five of these are included in Numbers chs. five and six, as follows: 1) Num. 5:1-4: S______ from the camp anyone who is ceremonially u________. 2) Num. 5:5-10: If anyone commits any of the s____ that men commit, he shall (do what)? [See RSV or KJV.] 3) Num. 5:11-31: Wife suspected of not being chaste. Perhaps this “test” includes psychological pressure, but from whom comes the verdict? (See vs. 16, 18, 21 etc) 4) Num. 65:1-21: Laws regarding N_______. What is a “Nazarite vow”? “Nazarite” means “to God” and “one separated.” Thus a “Nazarite” has specially given himself to G___, and under some circumstances, he is s________ from other people, is d_______ from others. The Nazarite did not eat _____, did not drink _____ and could not use a ___________ and could not come in contact with ___________________. He was to be h____. In general, how long should a Nazarite should keep these regulations? What will make Christians today “unclean” or “unholy”? 5) Num. 6:22-27: The Priestly Blessing. 8.Num. 6:22-27: The Priestly Blessing: Memorize this blessing, as follows: 'This is how you are to b_____ the Israelites. Say to them: "' "The LORD b_____ you and keep you; the LORD make his face s_____ upon you and be gracious to y___; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you p_____." ' "So they will put my n____ on the Israelites, and __ will bless them." Note: 1) “You” is singular, not plural. 2) “Peace” does not simply mean “absence of incident,” but that each person is complete in every way, sound in body and mind, etc. 3) “Put my name on the Israelites” because the Israelites belong to the Lord; they are his people. Question: How can people obtain this blessing today? (2004.10.24)(2005.5 Rev.) License Agreement for Bible Texts These Scriptures: • May not be altered or modified in any form.
