Exodus 6:1 YHWH said to Moshe [Moses], “Now you will see what I am going to do to Pharaoh. With a mighty hand he will send them off; with force he will drive them from the land!” All through Exodus 5, the people of Israel feel the backlash of Moshe’s request to Pharaoh to let…
There are two questions I’ve had a lot: does Torah matter and how were the Gentiles (sons of strangers) supposed to know this law? Skip Moen answers these questions with insight in two posts: Food in the Garden This article discusses the role of Israel. God clearly states (in Hebrew) that all men live by…
If you’re happy in your view of life, love, God, and salvation, you might want to stop reading now. I’ve been reading a book called Pagan Christianity (Frank Viola and George Barna) and it’s all about the origins of the church and our traditional church service. One thing I found out in the mini-history of the…
Numbers 22:10 Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me, I find it kind of funny that the king of Moab would go to an believer in the God of Israel to put a curse of the people of the God of Israel. Was Balaam an…
Numbers 20:5 and why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is none to drink. I think it’s a little crazy how often the Israelites forget why they’re wandering in the wilderness. Okay,…

Numbers 11:26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. The people of…
Numbers 9:23 At the command of the LORD they remained encamped, and at the command of the LORD they journeyed; they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses. I find it interesting that the 5-7 verses prior to this reiterate the same point over and…
Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace. This is the blessing that Aaron was to give the children of Israel (which, if you accept and obey Yeshua you are…
Numbers 3:49 So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites. The Levites were chosen by God to take the place of the first born sons. So instead of the firstborn males being used as redemption, being given back to God (?), the Levites…
