Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life
00:00:16.06\00:00:17.73
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
when we were last together
00:00:17.76\00:00:19.98
we were reading in
the book of Numbers,
00:00:20.01\00:00:21.50
the various offerings
and sacrifices that the Lord
00:00:21.53\00:00:24.53
laid out for the children
of Israel. We're going to
00:00:24.56\00:00:27.23
skip a portion of that in
Numbers 29 as it continues
00:00:27.26\00:00:31.98
the various
offerings and sacrifices,
00:00:32.01\00:00:34.37
We're going to pick up
with verse 39 of Numbers 29.
00:00:34.40\00:00:38.61
But before we
start, let's pray together
00:00:38.64\00:00:40.47
Dear Lord, thank you so much
for showing us how we can show
00:00:40.50\00:00:46.72
our love to you through our
offerings and our sacrifices
00:00:46.75\00:00:50.66
of praise and thanksgiving
and we thank you for your love
00:00:50.69\00:00:54.68
Please be with us now
as we read your word. Amen
00:00:54.71\00:00:57.77
Picking up in
Numbers, chapter 29, verse 39
00:00:57.80\00:01:02.02
and this is the
King James Version
00:01:02.05\00:01:03.41
These things ye shall do unto
the Lord in your set feasts,
00:01:03.44\00:01:07.75
beside your vows and
your freewill offerings,
00:01:07.78\00:01:09.97
for your burnt offerings
and for your meat offerings,
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.36
and for your drink offerings,
and for your peace offerings.
00:01:12.39\00:01:14.72
And Moses told the children
of Israel according to all
00:01:14.75\00:01:18.50
that the Lord commanded Moses.
continuing with Numbers chap. 30
00:01:18.53\00:01:23.15
This is the King James Version.
00:01:23.18\00:01:24.66
And Moses spake unto the
heads of the tribes concerning
00:01:24.69\00:01:27.47
the children of Israel,
saying, This is the thing
00:01:27.50\00:01:29.68
which the Lord hath commanded.
If a man vow a vow unto the Lord
00:01:29.71\00:01:33.74
or swear an oath to
bind his soul with a bond;
00:01:33.77\00:01:36.32
he shall not break his word,
he shall do according to all
00:01:36.35\00:01:39.51
that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
00:01:39.54\00:01:40.84
If a woman also vow a vow
unto the Lord, and bind herself
00:01:40.87\00:01:44.78
by a bond, being in her
father's house in her youth;
00:01:44.81\00:01:47.12
And her father hear her
vow, and her bond wherewith
00:01:47.15\00:01:50.26
she hath bound her soul, and
her father shall hold his peace
00:01:50.29\00:01:53.51
at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith
00:01:53.54\00:01:57.26
she hath bound her soul
shall stand. But if her father
00:01:57.29\00:02:01.07
disallow her in the day that
he heareth; not any of her vows,
00:02:01.10\00:02:04.74
or of her bonds wherewith she
hath bound her soul, shall stand
00:02:04.77\00:02:07.80
and the Lord shall forgive her,
because her father disallowed
00:02:07.83\00:02:11.26
her. And if she had at all
an husband, when she vowed,
00:02:11.29\00:02:14.99
or uttered aught out of her lips
wherewith she bound her soul;
00:02:15.02\00:02:18.02
And her husband heard it,
and held his peace at her in day
00:02:18.05\00:02:20.75
that he heard it: then her
vows shall stand and her bond
00:02:20.78\00:02:23.74
wherewith she bound
her soul shall stand.
00:02:23.77\00:02:25.70
But if her husband disallowed
her on the day that he heard it;
00:02:25.73\00:02:29.69
then he shall make her vow which
she vowed and that which she
00:02:29.72\00:02:33.16
uttered with her lips
wherewith she bound her soul
00:02:33.19\00:02:35.87
of none effect: and
the Lord shall forgive her.
00:02:35.90\00:02:38.79
But every vow of a widow,
and of her that is divorced,
00:02:38.82\00:02:42.81
wherewith they have bound their
souls, shall stand against her.
00:02:42.84\00:02:46.31
And if she vowed in
her husband's house,
00:02:46.34\00:02:48.83
or bound her soul
by a bond with an oath;
00:02:48.86\00:02:51.79
And her husband heard it,
and held his peace at her,
00:02:51.82\00:02:55.15
and disallowed her not:
then all her vows shall stand,
00:02:55.18\00:02:59.11
and every bond wherewith
she bound her soul shall stand.
00:02:59.14\00:03:02.78
But if her husband hath utterly
made them void on the day
00:03:02.81\00:03:06.75
he heard them; then whatsoever
proceeded out of her lips
00:03:06.78\00:03:09.77
concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul,
00:03:09.80\00:03:12.76
shall not stand: her
husband hath made them void;
00:03:12.79\00:03:16.37
and the Lord shall forgive
her. Every vow and every binding
00:03:16.40\00:03:19.85
oath to afflict the soul,
her husband may establish it,
00:03:19.88\00:03:23.54
or her husband may make it void.
00:03:23.57\00:03:24.86
But if her husband
altogether hold his peace at her
00:03:24.89\00:03:28.18
from day to day; then he
establisheth all her vows,
00:03:28.21\00:03:31.51
or all her bonds which are
upon her: he confirmeth them,
00:03:31.54\00:03:35.61
because he held his peace at her
in the day that he heard them.
00:03:35.64\00:03:39.01
But if he shall any ways make
them void after that he hath
00:03:39.04\00:03:43.60
heard them; then he
shall bear her iniquity.
00:03:43.63\00:03:45.76
These are the statutes,
which the Lord commanded Moses,
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.83
between a man and his wife,
00:03:48.86\00:03:49.93
between a father
and his daughter,
00:03:49.96\00:03:51.26
being yet in her
youth in her father's house.
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.14
We're in the book
of Numbers chapter 31.
00:03:54.17\00:03:56.72
This is the King James Version.
00:03:56.75\00:03:58.14
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Avenge the children
00:03:58.17\00:04:01.94
of Israel of the Midianites:
afterward shalt thou be
00:04:01.97\00:04:05.01
gathered unto thy people.
And Moses spake unto the people,
00:04:05.04\00:04:08.18
saying, Arm some of
yourselves unto the war,
00:04:08.21\00:04:10.40
and let them go
against the Midianites,
00:04:10.43\00:04:12.05
and avenge the Lord of Midian.
Of every tribe a thousand,
00:04:12.08\00:04:15.34
throughout all the tribes of
Israel, shall ye send to the war
00:04:15.37\00:04:18.03
So there were delivered
out of the thousands of Israel,
00:04:18.06\00:04:20.98
a thousand of every tribe,
twelve thousand armed for war.
00:04:21.01\00:04:24.07
And Moses sent them to
war, a thousand of every tribe,
00:04:24.10\00:04:28.15
them and Phinehas the son of
Eleazar the priest, to the war,
00:04:28.18\00:04:31.44
with the holy instruments, and
the trumpets to blow in his hand
00:04:31.47\00:04:34.35
and they warred
against the Midianites,
00:04:34.38\00:04:36.75
as the Lord commanded Moses;
and they slew all the males.
00:04:36.78\00:04:39.54
And they slew the kings of
Midian, beside the rest of them
00:04:39.57\00:04:42.69
that were slain; namely, Evi,
and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur,
00:04:42.72\00:04:46.57
and Reba, five kings of Midian:
Balaam also the son of Beor
00:04:46.60\00:04:51.26
they slew with the sword.
And the children of Israel
00:04:51.29\00:04:54.44
took all the women of Midian
captives, and their little ones,
00:04:54.47\00:04:57.37
and took the spoil of all their
cattle, and all their flocks,
00:04:57.40\00:04:59.76
and all their goods. And
they burnt all their cities
00:04:59.79\00:05:02.47
wherein they dwelt, and all
their goodly castles, with fire.
00:05:02.50\00:05:05.56
And they took all the spoil,
and all the prey, both of men
00:05:05.59\00:05:09.06
and of beasts. And they brought
the captives, and the prey,
00:05:09.09\00:05:12.54
and the spoil, unto
Moses and Eleazar the priest,
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.45
and unto the congregation of the
children of Israel unto the camp
00:05:15.48\00:05:19.36
at the plains of Moab, which
are by Jordan near Jericho.
00:05:19.39\00:05:22.48
And Moses, and Eleazar the
priest, and all the princes
00:05:22.51\00:05:25.94
of the congregation, went forth
to meet them without the camp.
00:05:25.97\00:05:29.11
And Moses was wroth with
the officers of the host,
00:05:29.14\00:05:32.58
with the
captains over thousands,
00:05:32.61\00:05:34.18
and the captains over hundreds,
which came from the battle.
00:05:34.21\00:05:36.50
And Moses said unto them, Have
ye saved all the women alive?
00:05:36.53\00:05:40.12
Behold, these caused
the children of Israel,
00:05:40.15\00:05:42.38
through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass
00:05:42.41\00:05:44.42
against the Lord in the matter
of Peor, and there was a plague
00:05:44.45\00:05:47.05
among the congregation of the
Lord. Now therefore kill every
00:05:47.08\00:05:49.96
male among the little
ones, and kill every woman
00:05:49.99\00:05:52.11
that hath known man by lying
with him. But all the women
00:05:52.14\00:05:55.50
children that have not
known a man by lying with him,
00:05:55.53\00:05:57.75
keep alive for yourselves.
And do ye abide without the camp
00:05:57.78\00:06:01.82
seven days: whosoever
hath killed any person,
00:06:01.85\00:06:04.15
and whosoever
hath touched any slain,
00:06:04.18\00:06:06.02
purify both yourselves and
your captives on the third day,
00:06:06.05\00:06:09.32
and on the seventh day.
And purify all your raiment,
00:06:09.35\00:06:12.43
and all that is made of skins,
and all work of goats' hair,
00:06:12.46\00:06:15.62
and all things made of
wood. And Eleazar the priest
00:06:15.65\00:06:18.84
said unto the men of war
which went to the battle,
00:06:18.87\00:06:21.08
This is the ordinance of the law
which the Lord commanded Moses;
00:06:21.11\00:06:24.09
Only the gold, and the silver,
the brass, the iron, the tin,
00:06:24.12\00:06:28.36
and the lead, every
thing that may abide the fire,
00:06:28.39\00:06:30.89
ye shall make it go through
the fire, and it shall be clean:
00:06:30.92\00:06:33.33
Nevertheless it shall
be purified with the water
00:06:33.36\00:06:36.29
of separation: and all
that abideth not the fire
00:06:36.32\00:06:38.31
ye shall make go through the
water. And ye shall wash your
00:06:38.34\00:06:41.99
clothes on the seventh
day, and ye shall be clean,
00:06:42.02\00:06:43.82
and afterward ye
shall come into the camp.
00:06:43.85\00:06:45.51
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Take the sum of the prey
00:06:45.54\00:06:49.26
that was taken, both of man
and of beast, thou and Eleazar
00:06:49.29\00:06:52.29
the priest, and the chief
fathers of the congregation:
00:06:52.32\00:06:54.49
and divide the
prey into two parts;
00:06:54.52\00:06:55.92
between them that
took the war upon them,
00:06:55.95\00:06:58.71
who went out to battle, and
between all the congregation:
00:06:58.74\00:07:00.92
And levy a tribute unto
the Lord of the men of war
00:07:00.95\00:07:04.18
which went out to battle:
one soul of five hundred,
00:07:04.21\00:07:06.38
both of the persons, and of
the beeves, and of the asses,
00:07:06.41\00:07:08.96
and of the sheep:
Take it of their half,
00:07:08.99\00:07:11.17
and give it unto Eleazar
the priest for an heave offering
00:07:11.20\00:07:13.48
of the Lord. And of the
children of Israel's half,
00:07:13.51\00:07:16.09
thou shalt take one portion
of fifty, of the persons,
00:07:16.12\00:07:18.36
of the beeves, of the
asses, and of the flocks,
00:07:18.39\00:07:20.36
of all manner of beasts,
and give them unto the Levites,
00:07:20.39\00:07:22.77
which keep the charge of
the tabernacle of the Lord.
00:07:22.80\00:07:25.21
And Moses and Eleazar the priest
did as the Lord commanded Moses.
00:07:25.24\00:07:29.36
And the booty,
being the rest of the prey
00:07:29.39\00:07:31.44
which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand
00:07:31.47\00:07:34.09
and seventy thousand
and five thousand sheep
00:07:34.12\00:07:36.30
and threescore and
twelve thousand beeves,
00:07:36.33\00:07:37.86
And threescore and
one thousand asses,
00:07:37.89\00:07:39.79
And thirty and two thousand
persons in all, of women
00:07:39.82\00:07:42.70
that had not known
man by lying with him.
00:07:42.73\00:07:44.86
And the half, which was the
portion of them that went out
00:07:44.89\00:07:47.93
to the war was in
number three hundred thousand
00:07:47.96\00:07:49.90
and seven and thirty
thousand and five hundred sheep:
00:07:49.93\00:07:52.40
And the Lord's tribute
of the sheep was six hundred
00:07:52.43\00:07:54.90
and three score and fifteen,
and the beeves were thirty
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.38
and six thousand; of which the
Lord's tribute was three score
00:07:57.41\00:07:59.84
and twelve. And the asses were
thirty thousand and five hundred
00:07:59.87\00:08:02.97
of which the Lord's
tribute was three score and one.
00:08:03.00\00:08:05.05
And the persons
were sixteen thousand;
00:08:05.08\00:08:06.98
of which the Lord's tribute
was thirty and two persons.
00:08:07.01\00:08:09.64
And Moses gave the
tribute, which was the Lord's
00:08:09.67\00:08:12.80
heave offering
unto Eleazar the priest,
00:08:12.83\00:08:15.09
as the Lord commanded Moses.
00:08:15.12\00:08:16.70
And of the children of Israel's
half, which Moses divided
00:08:16.73\00:08:19.44
from the men that warred,
(Now the half that pertained
00:08:19.47\00:08:22.02
unto the congregation
was three hundred thousand
00:08:22.05\00:08:23.73
and thirty thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred sheep,
00:08:23.76\00:08:27.01
And thirty and
six thousand beeves,
00:08:27.04\00:08:28.72
And thirty thousand
asses and five hundred,
00:08:28.75\00:08:30.78
and sixteen thousand persons;)
00:08:30.81\00:08:32.29
Even of the children of Israel's
half, Moses took one portion
00:08:32.32\00:08:35.57
of fifty, both
of man and of beast,
00:08:35.60\00:08:37.31
and gave them unto the
Levites, which kept the charge
00:08:37.34\00:08:39.84
of the tabernacle of the Lord;
as the Lord commanded Moses.
00:08:39.87\00:08:42.97
And the officers which
were over thousands of the host,
00:08:43.00\00:08:46.27
the captains of thousands,
and captains of hundreds,
00:08:46.30\00:08:48.52
came near unto Moses:
And they said unto Moses,
00:08:48.55\00:08:50.61
Thy servants have taken
the sum of the men of war
00:08:50.64\00:08:53.34
which are under our charge and
there lacketh not one man of us.
00:08:53.37\00:08:56.25
We have therefore
brought an oblation for the Lord
00:08:56.28\00:08:58.70
which every man hath gotten,
of jewels of gold, chains,
00:08:58.73\00:09:01.88
and bracelets, rings,
earrings, and tablets,
00:09:01.91\00:09:04.27
to make an atonement for
our souls before the Lord.
00:09:04.30\00:09:06.43
And Moses and Eleazar the
priest took the gold of them,
00:09:06.46\00:09:09.55
even all wrought jewels and
all the gold of the offering
00:09:09.58\00:09:12.32
that they
offered up to the Lord,
00:09:12.35\00:09:13.75
of the captains of
thousands, of hundreds,
00:09:13.78\00:09:16.02
was sixteen thousand,
seven hundred and fifty shekels.
00:09:16.05\00:09:18.84
And Moses and Eleazar
the priest took the gold
00:09:21.69\00:09:24.09
of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds,
00:09:24.12\00:09:26.12
and brought it into the
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:09:26.15\00:09:28.28
for a memorial for the children
of Israel before the Lord.
00:09:28.31\00:09:31.33
We're on chapter 32 in Numbers
This is the King James Version.
00:09:31.36\00:09:35.23
Now the children of
Reuben and the children of Gad
00:09:35.26\00:09:38.25
had a great multitude of cattle:
and when they saw the land
00:09:38.28\00:09:40.73
of Jazer and the land of Gilead
that, behold, the place was
00:09:40.76\00:09:43.79
a place for cattle;
The children of Gad and
00:09:43.82\00:09:45.98
the children of Reuben
came and spake unto Moses
00:09:46.01\00:09:48.32
and Eleazar the priest,
and unto the princes of the
00:09:48.35\00:09:50.31
congregation, saying, Ataroth,
and Dibon and Jazer and Nimrah
00:09:50.34\00:09:54.45
and Heshbon, and Elealeh,
and Shebam and Nebo, and Beon,
00:09:54.48\00:09:57.83
Even the country which the Lord
smote before the congregation
00:09:57.86\00:10:00.36
of Isreael, is a land for cattle
and thy servants have cattle:
00:10:00.39\00:10:03.47
Wherefore, said they, if we
have found grace in thy sight,
00:10:03.50\00:10:07.14
let this land be given unto
thy servants for a possession,
00:10:07.17\00:10:10.54
and bring us not over
Jordan. And Moses said unto the
00:10:10.57\00:10:13.86
children of Gad and to
the children of Reuben,
00:10:13.89\00:10:15.86
Shall your brethren go to
war, and shall ye sit here?
00:10:15.89\00:10:18.79
And wherefore discourage ye the
heart of the children of Israel
00:10:18.82\00:10:22.42
from going over into the land
which the Lord hath given them?
00:10:22.45\00:10:25.24
Thus did your fathers, when
I sent them from Kadesh Barnea
00:10:25.27\00:10:28.88
to see the land. For when
they went up unto the valley
00:10:28.91\00:10:31.84
of Eshcol, and saw the
land, they discouraged the heart
00:10:31.87\00:10:34.94
of the children of Israel, that
they should not go into the land
00:10:34.97\00:10:37.74
which the Lord had given them.
And the Lord's anger was kindled
00:10:37.77\00:10:41.22
the same time, and he sware,
saying, Surely none of the men
00:10:41.25\00:10:46.30
that came up out of Egypt, from
twenty years old and upward,
00:10:46.33\00:10:49.63
shall see the land which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
00:10:49.66\00:10:52.94
and unto Jacob; because they
have not wholly followed me:
00:10:52.97\00:10:57.60
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenezite, and Joshua
00:10:57.63\00:11:01.84
the son of Nun: for they
have wholly followed the Lord.
00:11:01.87\00:11:04.86
And the Lord's anger was kindled
against Israel, and he made them
00:11:04.89\00:11:09.27
wander in the
wilderness 40 years until all
00:11:09.30\00:11:12.45
the generation that had done
evil in the sight of the Lord,
00:11:12.48\00:11:15.15
was consumed, and behold, ye are
risen up in your fathers' stead,
00:11:15.18\00:11:19.86
an increase of sinful men,
to augment yet the fierce anger
00:11:19.89\00:11:23.68
of the Lord toward Israel. For
if ye turn away from after him,
00:11:23.71\00:11:27.21
he will yet again
leave them in the wilderness;
00:11:27.24\00:11:29.93
and ye shall destroy all
this people. And they came near
00:11:29.96\00:11:34.12
unto him, and said, We
will build sheepfolds here for
00:11:34.15\00:11:36.93
our cattle, and cities for our
little ones: But we ourselves
00:11:36.96\00:11:40.94
will go ready armed
before the children of Israel,
00:11:40.97\00:11:43.79
until we have brought
them unto their place:
00:11:43.82\00:11:46.65
and our little ones shall
dwell in the fenced cities
00:11:46.68\00:11:49.57
because of the inhabitants
of the land. We will not return
00:11:49.60\00:11:53.14
unto our houses,
until the children of Israel
00:11:53.17\00:11:54.88
have inherited
every man his inheritance.
00:11:54.91\00:11:56.99
For we will not inherit
with them on yonder side Jordan,
00:11:57.02\00:12:00.25
or forward; because our
inheritance is fallen to us
00:12:00.28\00:12:02.90
on this side Jordan eastward.
And Moses said unto them,
00:12:02.93\00:12:06.48
If ye will do this thing, if
ye will go armed before the Lord
00:12:06.51\00:12:10.04
to war, and will go all
of you armed over Jordan
00:12:10.07\00:12:12.81
before the Lord until he
hath driven out his enemies
00:12:12.84\00:12:15.44
from before him, and the
land be subdued before the Lord:
00:12:15.47\00:12:18.01
then afterward ye shall return
and be guiltless before the Lord
00:12:18.04\00:12:21.80
and before Israel, and this
land shall be your possession
00:12:21.83\00:12:24.86
before the Lord. But if ye will
not do so, behold ye have sinned
00:12:24.89\00:12:30.51
against the Lord: and be
sure your sin will find you out.
00:12:30.54\00:12:34.13
Build your cities
for your little ones,
00:12:34.16\00:12:36.67
and folds for your sheep;
and do that which hath proceeded
00:12:36.70\00:12:40.18
out of your mouth.
And the children of Gad
00:12:40.21\00:12:42.55
and the children of
Reuben spake unto Moses, saying,
00:12:42.58\00:12:45.22
Thy servants will do as my lord
commandeth. Our little ones,
00:12:45.25\00:12:49.38
our wives, our flocks, and
all our cattle shall be there
00:12:49.41\00:12:53.44
in the cities of Gilead:
But thy servants will pass over
00:12:53.47\00:12:57.28
every man armed for war,
before the Lord to battle,
00:12:57.31\00:13:00.43
as my lord saith. So concerning
Moses commanded Eleazar
00:13:00.46\00:13:04.29
the priest and Joshua the son
of Nun and the chief fathers of
00:13:04.32\00:13:07.28
the tribes of the children of
Israel: And Moses said unto them
00:13:07.31\00:13:10.65
If the children of Gad and
the children of Reuben will pass
00:13:10.68\00:13:13.59
with you over Jordan, every man
armed to battle before the Lord
00:13:13.62\00:13:17.91
and the land shall be subdued
before you, then ye shall
00:13:17.94\00:13:21.31
give them the land of
Gilead for a possession:
00:13:21.34\00:13:23.97
But if they will not
pass over with you armed,
00:13:24.00\00:13:27.59
they shall have possessions
among you in the land of Canaan
00:13:27.62\00:13:30.27
and the children of Gad and
the children of Reuben answered,
00:13:30.30\00:13:33.99
saying, As the Lord hath said
unto thy servants so will we do.
00:13:34.02\00:13:38.82
We will pass over, armed before
the Lord into the land of Canaan
00:13:38.85\00:13:44.07
that the possession of our
inheritance on this side Jordan
00:13:44.10\00:13:47.46
will be ours. And Moses gave
unto them, even to the children
00:13:47.49\00:13:51.61
of Gad, and to the children of
Reuben, and unto half the tribe
00:13:51.64\00:13:54.65
of Manasseh the son of
Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon
00:13:54.68\00:13:58.34
king of the Amorites, and the
kingdom of Og, king of Bashan,
00:13:58.37\00:14:01.46
the land, with the
cities thereof in the coasts,
00:14:01.49\00:14:05.39
even the cities of
the country round about.
00:14:05.42\00:14:08.24
Thank you for joining with me
today to read the word of God.
00:14:08.27\00:14:12.02
And I was struck again and again
throughout this chronicle of how
00:14:12.05\00:14:16.35
important it is that we obey
God in even the smallest things.
00:14:16.38\00:14:20.28
He punished those who disobeyed,
He rewarded Caleb and Joshua.
00:14:20.31\00:14:25.39
who faithfully followed His word
and on the day that He comes to
00:14:25.42\00:14:29.47
take us all home,
may we be found faithful.
00:14:29.50\00:14:31.77
Thank you for joining me.
