Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
Summary; This chapter lists the stages of the Israelites’ journey after they left Egypt when they were being led by Moses and Aaron. The Lord had told Moses to keep a record of every single stage in their journey. The first stage was when they left Ramses, which occurred in the first month, during the fifteenth day. This was the first day right after the Passover. The Israelites marched out and all of the Egyptians saw them.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father, thank You for the insights we gain from the story of Balaam and his little donkey. Thank You for showing us how destructive a love of money and a lust for wealth can be… blinding us to the truth and impeding our spiritual discernment and understanding. Keep me from any lustful thoughts and give me spiritual discernment and the wisdom to recognise if I am becoming embroiled in anything that may endanger my soul. Open my eyes to see You and my ears to hear Your call, and lead me in the path of righteousness for His name’s sake, AMEN.
For those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
