THE FOURTH BOOK OF MOSES CALLED NUMBERS
NUMBERS IS A TRANSLATION OF THE GREEK ARITHMOI AND PERTAINS TO THE NUMBERING OR CENSUS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AFTER THE EXODUS.
NUMBERS 1 IS THE SEVENTY SECOND (72) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM BECAUSE AN OMNISCIENT CREATOR WOULD KNOW JUST HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS OR MALES WERE IN THE CONGREGATION OF THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL". SUCH AN OMNISCIENT CREATOR WOULD THEN INSTRUCT MOSES AS TO THE PRECISE NUMBER.
Numbers 1:1-45 lists a census of all males "from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war." Numbers 1:46 gives the total of those numbered as being "six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty," hence, the total of 603,550 men able to fight in war. This compares favorably with Exodus 12:37 "And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children." Therefore, 603,550 compares favorably with 600,000.
Of course this discounts the 3,000 who fell in Exodus 32:28 and compares most unfavorably when considering the instructions that Moses gave to the Levites in Exodus 32:27 "And he said to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put ever man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour."
Numbers 1:47:54 makes an exception of the Levites who were not numbered but were assigned to care for the tabernacle and encamp around it. SUCH FAVORITISM PROVIDES THE SEVENTY THIRD (73) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals).
Numbers 2:1-34 details arrangement of the tribes of the "children of Israel" in their camp and, again, lists the census of the tribes ending with the total of 603,550 in Numbers 2:32. Again, in Numbers 2:33 it states that the Levites were not numbered "among the children of Israel", which provides the SEVENTY FOURTH (74) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals).
Numbers 3 is dedicated to Aaron and his sons and their families as "priests" of the "Lord God", who were to kill any "stranger" that came near the Tabernacle of the congregation. A LOGICAL QUESTION ARISES. COULD IT BE THAT IF A STRANGER CAME TO THE TABERNACLE AND SAW THE RIGMAROLE THAT THE STRANGER WOULD LAUGH OR MAKE FUN OF THE TABERNACLE, AND WOULD KILLING THE STRANGER PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING? NO ANSWER IS GIVEN. Numbers 3:12,13 provides the SEVENTY FIFTH (75) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals). Then the "Lord God" instructed Moses to count the males of Aaron and sons "from a month old and upward" which numbered twenty two thousand, and to count the males "from a month old and upward" of the "children of Israel" numbered twenty two thousand two hundred and seventy three. This provides the SEVENTY SIXTH (76) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals). Then the "Lord God" allegedly instructed Moses to number all of the children of the "children of Israel" from a month old and upward thus providing the SEVENTY SEVENTH (77) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals). Then the "Lord God" allegedly instructed Moses to take five shekels each for all of the two hundred seventy three (273) males "from a month old and upward" of the "children of Israel", which amounted to "a thousand three hundred and three score and five shekels" and give them to Aaron and to his sons. Thus, in Numbers 3:46-48 is provided the SEVENTY EIGHTH (78) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals), BECAUSE ANY CREATOR WHO CREATES THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND CREATES THE MOLTEN INTERIOR OF THE PLANET EARTH AND CREATES THE METALS SUCH AS GOLD AND SILVER AND WHOSE FINGER COULD WRITE ON TABLETS OF STONE COULD OBVIOUSLY CREATE COINS (SHEKELS) AND GIVE THEM TO AARON AND HIS SONS RATHER THAN TAKE SHEKELS FROM THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL". WHAT KIND OF A "LORD GOD" IS IT THAT PROVIDES FOR THE PRIESTS, WHOSE DUTIES ARE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THE OUTWARD TRAPPINGS FOR THE WORSHIP OF THAT SAME "LORD GOD" BY REQUIRING THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" PROVIDE THE EMOLUMENTS FOR THE PRIESTS? THAT QUESTION HAS AN OBVIOUS ANSWER...A "LORD GOD" WHO IS HUMAN IN HIS STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS, HENCE THE REPORTS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT FURNISHES EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM!!!!! FEH!!!!
Numbers 4:1-3 provides the SEVENTY NINTH (79) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals) in the fact that there would be no need for the "Lord God" to ask anyone to number any group of individuals, because an omniscient "Lord God" would know what that number was and simply order that said number do work in the tabernacle.
Numbers 4:22 and Numbers 4:29 provide examples numbers EIGHTY (80) AND EIGHTY ONE (81) of ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods or animals).
Numbers 4 primarily dedicates itself to the instructions for the various numbered "children of Israel" regarding their duties in the Tabernacle, which amounted to a total of 17,160 as given in Numbers 4.
NUMBERS 5:2,3 BEGINS WITH THE "LORD GOD" ISSUING ORDERS THAT "EVERY LEPER, AND EVERY ONE THAT HATH AN ISSUE, AND WHOSOEVER IS DEFILED BY THE DEAD:BOTH MALE AND FEMALE SHALL YE PUT OUT, WITHOUT THE CAMP...THAT THEY DEFILE NOT THEIR CAMPS, IN THE MIDST WHEREOF I DWELL." HERE IN EXAMPLE EIGHTY TWO (82) IS A MOST EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM. THE "LORD GOD" SEEMINGLY FORGETS THAT IT WAS HE WHO CREATED THOSE SAME MALES AND FEMALES THAT MIGHT "DEFILE THE CAMPS IN THE MIDST WHEREOF" THE "LORD GOD" DWELLS. HOW COULD A "CREATOR" WHO HAS CREATED ALL OF THE HUMANS TURN HIS BACK ON THOSE WHO SHOW THE IMPERFECTIONS OF THAT CREATION? DOES THE "LORD GOD" FACE UP TO THE FACT THAT HE HAS CREATED IMPERFECTION, NOT ONLY IN HUMANS BUT IN VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER SPECIES OF LIFE ON THE PLANET EARTH? IS THIS THE PICTURE OF A LOVING, CARING "LORD GOD" OR IS IT THE NATURAL AVERSION EVIDENCED BY HUMANS? AND WHAT OF THOSE THAT ARE PUT OUT OF THE CAMPS, DOES THE "LORD GOD" EVIDENCE ANY CONCERN ABOUT THEIR WELL-BEING? NU, NU!!!
Numbers 5:6-11 directs the punishment of a man who commits "a trespass against the Lord", which almost ultimately goes to the priest.
NUMBERS 5:12-29 IS DEVOTED TO THE PUNISHMENT FOR A WIFE WHO HAS CARNAL RELATIONS WITH ANOTHER AND THE PUNISHMENT IS HORRIBLE. AGAIN, THE "LORD GOD" SEEMS TO FORGET THAT IT WAS HE WHO MADE THE SEXUALITY OF HUMANS AND THE SEXUAL DRIVES AND HUNGERS, BUT INSTEAD OF TAKING THE BLAME FOR AN IMPERFECT CREATION, THE "LORD GOD" ORDERS THE PUNISHMENT OF THE IMPERFECT CREATION. Ai, Ai, Ai, CHALOSHES!!! NUMBERS 5:30,31 ALLOWS THE JEALOUS HUSBAND TO BRING HIS WIFE TO THE PRIEST WHO INFLICTS THE SAME DIRE PUNISHMENT UPON A POTENTIALLY INNOCENT WOMAN, WHICH THEN ALLEGEDLY MAKES THE MAN GUILTLESS AND THE WOMAN TAKES ALL OF THE PUNISHMENTS. TOTALLY MISOGYNISTIC! MISHEGOSS!!!
Numbers 6 is dedicated to the Nazarite, which is either a man or woman, who dedicates him/her self to the service of the "Lord God". Of course, there is instructions about making sacrifices, which benefit the priests.
Numbers 7:2-88 relates what the "princes of the tribes" brought as "offerings before the Lord". "Six covered wagons, and twelve oxen" which were given to the Levites, then began a listing of all of the other "offerings" which amounted to a King's ransom. It certainly did pay handsomely to be a priest!! THIS ILLUSTRATES MOST GRAPHICALLY WHAT HAS BEEN, HERETOFORE, ONLY APPROACHED MARGINALLY. THE "LORD GOD" WHO ALLEGEDLY CREATED EVERYTHING DEMANDED THAT HIS CREATIONS MAKE OFFERINGS TO HIM, HER, IT THROUGH HIS, HER, ITS PRIESTS, EVEN THOUGH THE "LORD GOD" HAD EVERYTHING, YET DEMANDED SACRIFICES FROM HIS CREATIONS FOR HIS, HERS, ITS GREATER GLORY!!! THE THING THAT IS MOST STRIKING IN THE BOOKS OF MOSES IS THE EXTREME DETAIL OF THE SACRIFICES, CEREMONIES AND OFFERINGS THAT ARE ALLEGEDLY FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF THE "LORD GOD"!!! SUCH CHUTZPA!!! THUS, NUMBERS 7 REPRESENTS NUMBER EIGHTY TWO (82) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 8 relates to the Levites and the ritual for their purification and installation in their role as priests of the "Lord God" as a gift to Aaron and to his sons. HOWEVER, NUMBERS 8:16,17 REPRESENTS NUMBER EIGHTY THREE (3) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 9:2-5 is the "Lord God's" commandment to "keep the passover".
Numbers 9:6-13 addresses the defiling of men by a dead body, but they were commanded to keep the passover.
Numbers 9:14-23 relates how the "children of Israel" journeyed at the commandment of the "Lord God" based upon a cloud over the tabernacle.
NUMBERS 9:14 STATES "...YE SHALL HAVE ONE ORDINANCE, BOTH FOR THE STRANGER, AND FOR HIM THAT IS BORN IN THE LAND." WHICH REITERATES LEVITICUS 24:22 "YE SHALL HAVE ONE MANNER OF LAW, AS WELL FOR THE STRANGER, AS FOR ONE OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY: FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
Numbers 10:2-10 speaks to the blowing of two trumpets not only to move the tribes, but in times of war, and over the burnt offerings and peace offerings to the "Lord God."
Numbers 10:11-28 records the beginning of the journey out of the wilderness by the "children of Israel" and how the standards of the tribes preceded them under their commanders.
NUMBERS 10:29 STATES "RAGUEL THE MIDIANITE, MOSES' FATHER IN LAW, WHEREAS MOSES' FATHER IN LAW WAS NAMED REUEL IN EXODUS 2:18 AND JETHRO IN EXODUS 3:1!!! OY, VEY!!! SUCH A MISHMOSH!!!!
Numbers 10:30_36 relates the events of the first three day march of the "children of Israel."
NUMBERS 11:1 REPRESENTS NUMBER EIGHTY FOUR (84) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
NUMBERS 11:1,4,10 REVEALS THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR HARDSHIPS HENCE WERE NOT KEEPING THEIR PLEDGES TO OBEY THE "LORD GOD." HOW COULD ANY HUMAN, LET ALONE A "GOD", CHOOSE SUCH A BUNCH OF CRYBABIES AS A "CHOSEN PEOPLE"? FEH, SHMEGEGGE!!!!
NUMBERS 11:12 HAS MOSES LOGICALLY QUESTIONING THE "LORD GOD" SAYING "HAVE I CONCEIVED ALL THIS PEOPLE? HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEM..."!!!!
Numbers 11:33 is NUMBER EIGHTY FIVE (85) AS AN EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
NUMBERS 12 IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE MISOGYNY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT WHEREIN MIRIAM AND AARON SPOKE AGAINST MOSES BECAUSE HE HAD MARRIED AN ETHIOPIAN WOMAN. SO THE "LORD GOD" PUNISHED MIRIAM BY MAKING HER "LEPROUS, WHITE AS SNOW" BUT THE "LORD GOD" DID NOT PUNISH AARON EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST. MOSES APPEALS AND THE "LORD GOD" HEALED MIRIAM. OF COURSE, ONE WOULD EXPECT JUSTICE AND EQUAL TREATMENT FROM THE "LORD GOD", AND THE HEALING OF MIRIAM CONTRASTS WITH NUMBERS 5:2,3 WHEREIN THE "LORD GOD" ORDERS MOSES TO PUT OUT OF THE CAMP EVERY LEPER, MALE OR FEMALE, AND THE "LORD GOD" MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO HEAL THEM AS HE DID MIRIAM. AI, AI, AI!!! FEH!!! IF THE "LORD GOD" WAS A HUMAN HE WOULD BE A PARECH!!!
NUMBERS 12:9,10 IS NUMBER EIGHTY SIX (86) AS AN EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 12 closes with the "children of Israel" having moved from Hazeroth to the wilderness in Paran.
Numbers 13 relates the story of the scouting expedition by the "children of Israel" in the "land of Canaan", and the scouts returned with "an evil report of the land which they had searched."
NUMBERS 14:1-4 RELATES THAT UPON HEARING THE ADVERSE REPORT OF THE SCOUTING EXPEDITION ABOUT THE LAND OF CANAAN, THE "CHOSEN PEOPLE" A.K.A. "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" AGAIN REBEL AGAINST THE "LORD GOD"---FOR THE SEVENTH (7) TIME (see Exodus 16:2; 16:27; 17:2,7: 31:8; 32:19; Numbers 11:1,4; 14:2-4). IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" WERE FARPOTSHKET, TO SAY THE LEAST!!! ACCORDING TO NUMBERS 14:22 "...AND HAVE TEMPTED ME NOW THESE TEN TIMES, AND HAVE NOT HEARKENED TO MY VOICE." THUS FAR, IT HAS BEEN TEN (10) TIMES THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" HAVE NOT HEARKENED TO THE "LORD GOD". THIS SEEMS TO CONTRADICT NUMBERS 14:18 "THE LORD IS LONGSUFFERING, AND OF GREAT MERCY, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION, AND BY NO MEANS CLEARING THE GUILTY, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS." SOME KIND OF "LONGSUFFERING AND GREAT MERCY" IS THE "LORD GOD" WHO WOULD PUNISH THE INNOCENT CHILDREN OF GUILTY FATHERS EVEN TO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS!!!!
NUMBERS 14:11 IS NUMBER EIGHTY SEVEN (87) OF THE EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
NUMBERS 14:27-45 IS NUMBER EIGHTY EIGHT (8) OF THE EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals). It is in Numbers 14:27-45 that the "Lord God" finally punishes the "children of Israel" by having all those twenty years of age and older wander in the wilderness until they dropped dead except for Moses, Caleb and Joshua.
Numbers 15:1-17 gives another listing of the offerings to be made to the "Lord God", however, Numbers 15:15,16 states that there shall be "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you." (See also Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 9:14; Numbers 15:29).
Numbers 15:32-36 relates a story about a man that the "children of Israel" caught gathering sticks upon the sabbath day. The "long suffering, and of great mercy" "Lord God" ordered that the man be stoned to death! Ai, Ai, Ai!!!
Numbers 16:1-15 relates the story about two hundred and fifty Levites rebelled against Moses and Aaron stating that Moses took too much upon him. Numbers 16:16-19 Moses instructs the rebellious Levites to each take a silver censer with incense to the Tabernacle. In Numbers 16:20,21 The "Lord God" displayed his wrath providing number EIGHTY NINE (89) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals). Numbers 16:23-35 details how the "long suffering, and of great mercy" "Lord God" opened up the earth and swallowed up the protesting Levites and fire came out of the "Lord" and "consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense."
NUMBERS 16:27 STATES THAT THOSE WHO WERE SWALLOWED UP BY A CLEFT IN THE EARTH INCLUDED THE INNOCENT WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THE PROTESTING LEVITES. THIS LEADS, AGAIN, TO NUMBERS 14:18 "THE LORD IS LONGSUFFERING, AND OF GREAT MERCY, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION, AND BY NO MEANS CLEARING THE GUILTY, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS." SOME KIND OF "LONGSUFFERING AND GREAT MERCY" IS THE "LORD GOD" WHO WOULD PUNISH THE INNOCENT CHILDREN OF GUILTY FATHERS EVEN TO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS!!!! FEH!!!! HOWEVER, THIS DOES PROVIDE NUMBER NINETY (90) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 16:41 reveals that immediately after the earth swallowed up the protesters (including innocent women and children), and fire consumed other protesters, the "congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying Ye have killed the people of the Lord" for the twelfth time that the "children of Israel" have defied the "Lord God". Their punishment was in the form of a plague, which killed 14,700 (Numbers 16:46-50), besides those killed when the earth swallowed up and fire destroyed the earlier protestors (Numbers 16:23-35). Numbers 16:45-48 provides number NINETY ONE (91) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 17 speaks of rods, but that is of little consequence other than Numbers 17:10, which provides number NINETY SECOND (92) IN THE EXAMPLES OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals)
Numbers 18 finally clearly and positively relates that all of the sacrifices ultimately end up in the possession of Aaron and his sons as priests of the Tabernacle. Numbers 18:16 deals with shekels which also go to Aaron and his sons...after all, they don't do any productive work so they must be supported in style by the rest of the "children of Israel", of course a tenth of the tithes received by the Levites shall be a "heave" offering to be given to Aaron (Numbers 18:28). The "Lord God" certainly takes good care of the Levites including swallowing them up in the earth and destroying them with fire, because they protested against Moses!!!
Numbers 19:1-10 relates the slaughtering of a "red heifer" without blemish or spot and the cleansing that must be done by all of those involved with the slaughter and burning. The ashes are to be "for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
Numbers 19:11-22 deals with the "contamination" of a dead human and the necessary cleansing and purification of anyone or anything that comes in contact with a dead person.
Numbers 20:1 relates that the "children of Israel" came to Kadesh in the desert of Zin where Miriam died and was buried.
Numbers 20:2-11 deals with the "children of Israel" who "chode" (chided) with Moses, and how Moses smote the rock bringing forth water.
Numbers 20:12 provides the Ninety Third (93) example of ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals). THE "LORD GOD" THAT SAME "LONGSUFFERING, AND OF GREAT MERCY, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION" FORBADE MOSES FROM BRINGING THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" INTO THE LAND WHICH THIS SAME COMPASSIONATE, LONGSUFFERING AND MERCIFUL "LORD GOD" HAD GIVEN THEM AND IN NUMBERS 20:13 NAMED THE WATERS FROM THE ROCK, THE WATER OF MERIBAH.
Numbers 20:14-22 relates how Moses tried to bargain with the king of Edom to permit the "children of Israel" passage through Edom, but was turned away, so the "children of Israel" ended at mount Hor.
NUMBERS 20:24 IS THE NINETY FOURTH (94) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), WHEREIN THAT SAME "LONGSUFFERING, AND OF GREAT MERCY, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION" FORBADE AARON FROM BRINGING THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" INTO THE LAND WHICH THIS SAME COMPASSIONATE, LONGSUFFERING AND MERCIFUL "LORD GOD" HAD GIVEN THEM, INSTRUCTED MOSES THAT AARON WAS TO DIE ON MOUNT HOR, AND DID ALL OF THIS NAMING (NUMBERS 20:13) NAMING AARON'S REBELLION AT THE WATERS FROM THE ROCK, THE WATER OF MERIBAH. NUMBERS 20:25-29 RELATES THE DEATH OF AARON.
*******************************************************************************
NUMBERS 21:1-3 THE FIRST HOLOCAUST COMMITTED BY THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IS DESCRIBED IN NUMBERS 21:3 IN WHICH THE "LORD GOD" "DELIVERED UP THE CANAANITES; AND THEY ("CHILDREN OF ISRAEL") UTTERLY DESTROYED THEM AND THE CITIES: AND HE CALLED THE NAME OF THE PLACE HORMAH". IN OTHER WORDS, THE ISRAELITES DESTROYED THE CITIES AND UTTERLY KILLED ALL OF THE CANAANITES INCLUDING INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN. HOLOCAUST IS ACTUALLY NOT THE WORD, BECAUSE HOLOCAUST MEANS A BURNT OFFERING OR THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE BY FIRE!!! THE PROPER WORD WOULD BE MASSACRE!!!! THEREFORE, THE USE OF THE WORD HOLOCAUST TO DESCRIBE THE ALLEGED KILLING OF "NEO-JEWS" BY THE NAZIS WAS THE IMPROPER USE OF THE WORD HOLOCAUST!!! OY, OY, OY, MISHMOSH!!!
*******************************************************************************
NUMBERS 21:5 STATES THAT FOR THE FOURTEENTH (14) TIME "...THE PEOPLE SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND MOSES..."
NUMBERS 21:6 REPRESENTS THE NINETY FIFTH (95) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), WHEREIN THE "LORD GOD" "SENT FIERY SERPENTS AMONG THE PEOPLE, AND THEY BIT THE PEOPLE; AND MUCH PEOPLE OF ISRAEL DIED."
Numbers 21:10-20 details the movement of the "children of Israel" until they approached the country of the Amorites.
Numbers 21:21-32 describes how Sihon, king of the Amorites, refused to let them pass and came out prepared for battle, how "Israel" defeated the Amorites and lived in their cities.
Numbers 21:33-35 tells how "Israel" defeated the king of Bashan and in Numbers 21:35 confirms what they did to the Amorites, "So they smote him, and his sons, AND ALL HIS PEOPLE, UNTIL THERE WAS NONE LEFT HIM ALIVE, AND THEY POSSESSED HIS LAND. IN THIS CASE, NOT ONLY DID "ISRAEL" KILL EVERYONE, INCLUDING INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN, BUT THIS WAS AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE OF AGGRESSION BY "ISRAEL" AND REPRESENTS THE VERY SAME KIND OF CRIME WHICH THE "NEO-JEWS" ACCUSED AND CONDEMNED THE NAZIS OF PERFORMING ON THEM!!!!
Numbers 22:1-19 describes how "Israel" moved to the plains of Moab near Jericho and how Balak, king of the Moabites, was afraid of "Israel" because his people were vastly outnumbered, so he sent messengers to Balaam asking him to come, but the "Lord God" told Balaam that "Israel" was blessed and that he should not go against them. When Balaam refused and Balak was told, then Balak sent messengers again, and again Balaam refused.
Numbers 22:20,21 "Lord God" tells Balaam to go with the messengers from Balak, which Balaam did.
NUMBERS 22:22 presents the NINETY SIXTH (96) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), because herein the "Lord God" gets angry because Balaam followed the "Lord God's" instructions, so the "Lord God" allegedly sent an "angel" to bar Balaam's way.
Numbers 22:23-41 relates how Balaam finally gets past the "angel" and meets with Balak who took him to the high places of Baal where he might see all of "Israel".
Numbers 23 continues the tale began in Numbers 22. Balak takes Balaam to three different places, but Balaam refuses to disobey the "Lord God" and does not condemn "Jacob" or "Israel".
****************************************************************************** NUMBERS 23:19 STATES, "GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE; NEITHER THE SON OF MAN THAT HE SHOULD REPENT..." YET EXODUS 32:14 STATES, "AND THE LORD REPENTED OF THE EVIL HE THOUGHT TO DO UNTO HIS PEOPLE." IF THE "LORD" REPENTED THEE THE "LORD" MUST BE THE SON OF MAN...AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY!!!! MISHMOSH!!! OY, GEVALT!!!! ******************************************************************************* Numbers 24 continues the story of Balaam and Balak with Numbers 24:17-24 forecasting the future of "Jacob" and "Israel". It seems confusing that there is suddenly references made to "Jacob", who had been named Israel and who was long dead and to "Israel" other than the term the "children of Israel". The authors of the books are farchadat!!!!
NUMBERS 25:1-3 PROVIDES THE FIFTEENTH (15) TIME THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" TOOK ACTIONS IN DISREGARD OF THE "LORD GOD", WHO BECAME ANGERED THUS PROVIDING THE NINETY EIGHTH (98) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
NUMBERS 25:17,18 PROVIDES THE NINETY NINTH (99) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
NUMBERS 26:2 PROVIDES THE ONE HUNDREDTH (100) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals).
Numbers 26:5-65 relates the "Lord God's" plan to give the "promised land" to the "children of Israel" according to the count of their numbers.
Numbers 27:1-8 gives the first credit to women, in that the "Lord God" gave a "statute of judgment" that if a man died and had no son, then his possessions would pass to his daughter.
Numbers 27:8-11 details the disposal of possessions if a dead man has no daughters.
NUMBERS 27:13,14 PROVIDES THE ONE HUNDRED FIRST (101) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), WHEREIN THE "LORD GOD" TELL MOSES THAT IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO DIE, BECAUSE HE REBELLED AGAINST THE "LORD GOD" IN THE INCIDENT OF THE WATER OF MERIBAH.
NUMBERS 27:15-17 MOSES ASKS THE "LORD GOD" TO "SET A MAN OVER THE CONGREGATION".
NUMBERS 27:18-23 THE "LORD GOD" CHOOSES JOSHUA TO LEAD THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" INTO THE LAND OF CANAAN ALLEGELY THE "PROMISED LAND."
***************************************************************************** NUMBERS 20:8-12 DESCRIBES THE EPISODE OF THE WATER OF MERIBAH, WHEREIN THE "LORD GOD" ACCUSED MOSES AND AARON OF FAILING TO SANCTIFY HIM, HER, IT ("LORD GOD") AND THE ONLY THING THAT MOSES DIDN'T DO WAS TO "SPEAK YE UNTO THE ROCK BEFORE THEIR EYES" AND MOSES INSTEAD SAID, "HEAR NOW, YE REBELS: MUST WE FETCH YOU WATER OUT OF THIS ROCK?" FOR THIS LITTLE INCIDENT THAT SAME "LONG SUFFERING AND OF GREAT MERCY, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION" "LORD GOD" CONDEMNED MOSES AND AARON TO DEATH, BUT FORGAVE THE FIFTEEN (15) FAILURES OF THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL"!!!! FEH!!! IF THE "LORD GOD" WAS A HUMAN THIS ACTION BY HIM, HER, IT WOULD BE CHALOSHES AND HE, SHE, IT WOULD BE CALLED PARECH!!!!
******************************************************************************
Numbers 28 and Numbers 29 are detailed descriptions of the sacrifices to be made to the "Lord God"...the priests (Levites) must eat well and plentiful!!!
Numbers 30:1,2 conveys that the "Lord God" commanded that when a man makes a vow to the "Lord" or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word, but he shall do all that proceeds out of his mouth. NUMBERS 30:2 REPRESENTS THE BASIS FOR THE VOW TAKEN BY A MAN UPON HIS BEING MARRIED AND, JUST AS IMPORTANT, THE VOWS TAKEN BY A MAN WHEN TESTIFYING IN A COURT OF JUSTICE OR BEFORE A GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIAL OR AGENCY.
NUMBERS 31:2 PROVIDES THE ONE HUNDRED SECOND (102) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), WHEREIN THE "LORD GOD" ISSUES ORDERS TO MOSES TO ATTACK THE MIDIANITES AND THEN DIE!!! Ai, Ai, Ai!!!!
******************************************************************************
HEREIN IS RELATED A TALE THAT PARALLELS THE TALES TOLD BY THE "NEO-JEWS" CONCERNING THE NAZIS IN WORLD WAR II.
NUMBERS 31:5-8 TELLS HOW THE "TRIBES OF ISRAEL" KILLED ALL OF THE MALE MIDIANITES. NOW, DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR BASED UPON THE ALLEGED "HOLOCAUST" THAT THE "NEO-JEWS" ACCUSED THE NAZIS OF PERPETRATING?
NUMBERS 31:9-13 RELATES HOW THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" TOOK ALL OF THE SPOILS AND ALL OF THE WOMEN AND THEIR "LITTLE ONES" BACK TO THE CAMP OF THE CONGREGATION OF THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL"
NUMBERS 31:14 TELLS OF THE SAVAGERY OF THE "LORD GOD" AND MOSES, WHO ACTED ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF THE "LORD GOD", WHEN MOSES STATED IN NUMBERS 31:17,18 "NOW THEREFORE KILL EVERY MALE AMONG THE LITTLE ONES, AND KILL EVERY WOMAN THAT HAS KNOWN MAN BY LYING WITH HIM. BUT ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN THAT HAVE NOT KNOWN A MAN BY LYING WITH HIM, KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES." IN OTHER WORDS, THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" COMMITTED UPON THE MIDIANITES THE EXACT SAME KIND OF "HOLOCAUST" WHICH THEY CHARGED THE NAZIS WITH EVEN TO THE POINT OF HAVING "SURVIVORS" OF THE "HOLOCAUST" COMMITTED THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE NAZIS!!! THEREFORE, ON THE BASIS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE "NEO-JEWS" EXACT TRIBUTE FROM EVERY COUNTRY AND EVERY PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THEY CAN BASED UPON A "HOLOCAUST" BY THE NAZIS, WHICH WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR ALLEGED ANCESTORS COMMITTED MILLENNIA AGO.
NUMBERS 31:21-24 TELLS HOW THE "TROOPS" THAT SLAUGHTERED THE MIDIANITES HAD TO PURIFY THEMSELVES AND ALL THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM THE MIDIANITES.
NUMBERS 31:26-40 RELATES HOW THE "LORD GOD" DETAILED THE DIVISION OF THE SPOILS, INCLUDING THE THIRTY TWO THOUSAND WOMEN CHILDREN OF THE MIDIANITES.
NUMBERS 31:41-54 ACCOUNTS FOR THE PRIESTS AND OTHER LEVITES RECEIVING THEIR SHARES OF THE SPOILS. AFTER ALL, WEREN'T THEY IN CHARGE OF "GLORIFYING" THE "LORD GOD"? FEH!!!
NUMBERS 31 FURNISHES PROOF THAT THE "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL", THE ANCESTORS ALLEGEDLY OF THE "NEO-JEWS" COMMITTED THE FIRST "HOLOCAUST" SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE THE NAZIS WERE EVEN KNOWN. SUCH CHUTZPA BY THE "NEO-JEWS"!!!!
*******************************************************************************
Numbers 32:10,13 provides the ONE HUNDRED THIRD (103) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), AND
Numbers 32:21 provides the ONE HUNDRED FOURTH (104) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), because it states that the "Lord God" had "enemies" of the people he created.
Numbers 32 is nothing more than the plotting by the "children of Israel" on how they could take the land occupied by others in a WAR OF AGGRESSION!!!!
Numbers 33 details the journeys of the "children of Israel". Numbers 33:52,53 gives the ONE HUNDRED FIFTH (105) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals), AND Numbers 33:55,56 provides the ONE HUNDRED SIXTH (106) EXAMPLE OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (attributing human characteristics to gods and animals). SUCH A HUMAN-LIKE "LORD GOD" WHO THREATENS HIS CREATIONS WITH DEATH AND TORTURE IN ORDER TO HAVE THEM "GLORIFY"
HIM, HER, IT!!!! FEH!!!!
Numbers 34 details the division of the land of Canaan, and the plains of Moab, before the "children of Israel" took it by the sword.
Numbers 35 details the giving of certain of the lands to the Levites, as priests of the "Lord God", because, as always, the priests must have a goodly and plentiful share of everything, because don't they perform the rituals that glorify the "Lord God"?
Numbers 36 relates to the division of land daughters of Zelophehad, which resulted in their marriages to families of the sons of Manasseh and the lands remained in the hands of the tribe of their father.
THUS ENDS THE FOURTH BOOK OF MOSES CALLED NUMBERS.
