Numbers chs. 13-14 By: Edward Short© 1.Numbers 13:1-3: Exploring Canaan: Num. 13:1-3: What did God tell Moses to do? (See Deuteronomy 1:22 and context.) How many men? One man for each t____, however, which tribe was an exception and did not send a participant? How then were there still twelve men? Num. 13:17-20: What was the purpose of sending them to spy or explore the land? Num. 13:21-25: How many days did they travel? Did they see anything worthwhile? Give examples. Note: Descendants of Anak were people of large stature. 2.Numbers 13:25-33: The Scouts Return and Report: When the men returned and reported they were of t____ viewpoints, t___ vs. t____ men. What did the majority say? What did the minority say? Name the two in the minority (Num. 14:6). Num. 13:22, 28, 29, 32, 33: In the minds of the people, the descendants of Anak and others became larger and larger [physically]. In the minds of the Israelites these people became g_______, and so everyone became a_____ and did not want to conquer the land. In a situation such as this (some people want to take the land and others do not), in order to be a good leader, should Moses adopt a democratic method of solving the problem? In other words, is it correct to say that if the majority does not want to go to Canaan, Moses should listen to them and not go? Num. 13:33: “We saw the Nephilim there (the d________ of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in o___ o___ eyes, and we looked the same to them.” This sentence is hyperbole and it indicates that their f____ was very small. Today, does what we say to God indicate that we also have “grasshopper faith”? (“Grasshopper faith” means weak faith.) 3.Numbers 14:1-19: The People Rebel Again: When “All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron,” what did the people say? What did Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh say to the multitude? 7 …"The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly g_____.8 If the LORD is p________ with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with m_____ and h______, and will g____ it to us. 9 Only do not r_____ a_______ the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will s________ them up. Their protection is g____, but the LORD is w_____ us. Do not be a______ of them." 10 But the whole assembly talked about s________ them. Then the g______ of the LORD a_________ at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.” What did God say to Moses? How did Moses react? 4.Numbers 14:20-38: God Punishes Those Above Twenty Years Old: Num. 14:20-23: Moses asked God and God listened to Moses and f_______ the sins of the Israelites. However, although their sins were forgiven, those who sinned still had to endure the result of their sins. What was it? Vs. 24: Caleb was different from others in that Caleb had a different s______; he follows [the LORD] w____________.” Num. 14:26-35: Explain in detail how God punished the Israelites. They would d____ in the desert. Who would? How many years would they wander in the desert? How did God deduce this figure? Vs. 35: What would be their end? Who determined the outcome of their lives? In Numbers 14:2, the community shook their heads and said, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or [d______] in this desert!” In verses 32 and 35, God gives them what they asked for and enables them to realize their wish. What should we today learn from this incident? (See Ecclesiastes 5:1-7.) Num. 14:36-38: What punishment did those receive who brought back a bad report? 5.Numbers 14:39-45: Change But No Repentance: Tell what the people did and what result did they have. They confessed sin, but did they make any change way down in the depths of their hearts? From this we can learn that “enthusiasm” is insufficient, it must be accompanied by kn________; we must o____ God’s commands in order for God to go w____ us. (2004.10.24)(2005.5 Rev.)
