Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Numbers.
This is episode #13 Numbers chapters 25 & 26.
Numbers Chapter 25, covers the topic of sexual immorality and the worship of false gods. At the core of this conflict is the relationship between Israeli men and Moabite women and the Midianite people.
Numbers Chapter 26, After the plague, God told Moses, as well as Eleazar, Aaron’s son, to complete a thorough census on the entire Israelite community by families. God wanted them to find out how many males were 20 years old or older that could serve in Israel’s army. The Israelites that had left Egypt were also counted.
