Deuteronomy - Way of the Wilderness




Deuteronomy 2:1-7 (NKJV)

[1] “Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days.
[2] “And the Lord spoke to me, saying:
[3] You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.
[4] And command the people, saying, “You are about to pass through the territory of your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully.
[5] Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
[6] You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.
[7] “For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.”

Numbers: Cities of Refuge



Numbers 35:13-15 (NKJV)

[13] And of the cities which you give, you shall have six cities of refuge.
[14] You shall appoint three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in the land of Canaan, which will be cities of refuge.
[15] These six cities shall be for refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills a person accidentally may flee there.

Numbers: Inheritance Laws



Numbers 27:4-11 (NKJV)

[4] Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
[5] So Moses brought their case before the Lord.
[6] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
[7] “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
[8] And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
[9] If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
[10] If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
[11] And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’” And it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

Numbers: Aaron's Death



Numbers 20:22-29 (NKJV)

[22] Now the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor.
[23] And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying:
[24] “Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah.
[25] Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
[26] and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there.”
[27] So Moses did just as the Lord commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
[28] Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. [29] Now when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel mourned for Aaron thirty days.
