Israel’s Family Hierarchy
• Family– Foundation of the nation of Israel
• Clan– Basic unit of a tribe– Composed of families– Varying sizes
• Tribe– 12 total, born of Jacob (called Israel)
• Nation
Places• Desert of Paran– 100 miles + north and east of Mt. Sinai– Israelites spent much of their 40 years wondering
around this desert– Place where Ishmael and Hagar were taken (Gen 21)– King David spent time here after Samuel dies (1 Sam
25:1)• Taberah– Three days journey from Mt. Sinai towards Canaan– Gods fire consumes the edges of the Israelite camp– Also called Kibroth Hattaavah
Two Silver Trumpets (10:1-10)• God orders priests to announce His movement
of the people by blowing two silver trumpets– Israelites did not always watch the cloud– Sound would reach the entire camp– Trumpets used in times of war in Canaan (Jos 6:8)– Remind Israelites that He would deliver them– Also, announced the feasts of Israel (vs. 10)
• First reference to the New Moon feast (vs. 10)– Signaled the beginning of a new month– Was consecrated to God like the Sabbath
Sinai to Kadesh Barnea(10:11-36)• Israelites had been at Mt. Sinai for almost one
year (see Ex 19:1, Num 10:11)– All that Moses records between Ex 19:1 and Num
10:11 occurs during this year
• Region in which they travelled was very inhospitable – Size of the nation was estimated to be from 300K
to 2.5M– Travel time on foot from Sinai to Kadesh would
have been around 11 days (Deut 1:2)
Sinai to Kadesh Barnea(10:11-36)• Israelites broke camp and proceeded to march
as God had commanded (vs. 13-28)– Tabernacle receives special attention
• Hobab, a Midianite and Moses’ brother-in-law, agrees to act as a scout for the nation– Scholars believe Moses erred in extending this
invitation– God was leading them and they really did not need
Hobab• Moses prays whenever the cloud moves and
stops (vs. 35-36)
Travels to Kadesh Barnea (11:1-35)• Israel arrives at Taberah (vs. 1-3)– People complain of hardships– God is angered and sends fire to consume part of
the camp– People cries out to Moses and fire dies down
• Rabble, e.g. foreigners, among them begin to crave other food besides manna– Israelites join in the complaint– Remembered the “good life” in Egypt
• Moses complains to God about the pressures of his life (vs. 10-15)
• God accommodates Moses– Provided 70 men to share in Moses’ responsibilities
of explaining God’s will to the people– God provided these men His spirit and the ability to
prophesy ( Hebrew word meaning inspired and without prior training) temporarily
• God answers people’s complaint of only manna by providing them more quail than they could eat (vs. 20)– Became a punishment
Travels to Kadesh Barnea (11:1-35)
• Joshua shows his jealousy for Moses’ honor in the nation (vs. 28-29)– Moses realized that Israel would be better off if
God had given all the people His Spirit and the gift of inspiration (vs. 29)
– What is the role of this Spirit today? (Gal 4:6)
• The Spirit of God settles the leadership problem, the wind solved the food proble
Travels to Kadesh Barnea (11:1-35)
Rebellion of Miriam and Aaron (12:1-16)• Miriam and Aaron speak out against Moses– Because he has a Cushite wife of African decent– Not Zipporah, who was a Midian– God had only forbid marriage to Canaanites (Ex 34:16– Also, states that God had spoken through them
• God summons Aaron and Miriam– God states that he speaks to only Moses face to face– Angered, God inflicts Miriam with leprousy – Moses intervenes on her behalf and she is ordered to
leave the camp for seven days
• Israelites leave Hazeroth, camp in Desert of Paran
Review• Events of today’s lesson began in year two after
the Exodus, in the second month, on day 20• Learned about the purpose of the silver trumpets
to alert movement and announce festivals• Learned about events as the Israelites travel from
Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (complaints!)• Learn about the rebellion of Miriam and Aaron
against Moses, arising out of jealousy• Next week: Numbers 13:1-14:45
