Numbers. The only way for me to connect with Numbers 33 is to think of it like a slide show of the places they had been during their 40 year journey. To those of us who haven't traveled in that part of the world, the names are mostly meaningless. But, if we knew and had experienced those locations, it could make for interesting reading. As it stands, it's a great and focused history of their travels.
I was struck by Numbers 33:55: "But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides."Several thousand years later, we still live in the shadow of their failure to do what God said.
