--> 00:00:08.621 in the first month of the year, the whole community of Israel arrived in the 00:00:08.621 --> 00:00:11.441 wilderness of Zenin and camped at Kaddish. 00:00:12.101 --> 00:00:15.491 While they were there, Miriam died and was buried. 00:00:16.511 --> 00:00:19.871 There was no water for the people to drink at that place, so they 00:00:19.871 --> 00:00:21.911 rebelled against Moses and Aaron. 00:00:22.511 --> 00:00:27.011 The people blamed Moses and said, if only we had died in the Lord's 00:00:27.011 --> 00:00:28.391 presence with our brothers. 00:00:28.901 --> 00:00:32.471 Why have you brought the congregation of the Lord's people into this wilderness 00:00:32.471 --> 00:00:35.081 to die along with all our livestock? 00:00:35.651 --> 00:00:39.881 Why did you make us leave Egypt and bring us here to this terrible place? 00:00:40.391 --> 00:00:45.611 This land has no grain, no figs, no grapes, no pomegranates, 00:00:45.791 --> 00:00:47.351 and no water to drink. 00:00:48.731 --> 00:00:52.301 Moses and Aaron turned away from the people and went to the 00:00:52.301 --> 00:00:55.871 entrance of the tabernacle where they fell face down on the ground. 00:00:56.831 --> 00:01:00.191 Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to them, and the Lord 00:01:00.191 --> 00:01:04.811 said to Moses, you and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the 00:01:04.811 --> 00:01:07.751 entire community as the people watch. 00:01:08.051 --> 00:01:11.801 Speak to the rock over there and it will pour out its water. 00:01:12.326 --> 00:01:16.196 You will provide enough water from the rock to satisfy the whole 00:01:16.196 --> 00:01:18.236 community and their livestock. 00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:21.506 So Moses did as he was told. 00:01:21.956 --> 00:01:25.046 He took the staff from the place where it was kept before the Lord. 00:01:25.676 --> 00:01:29.636 Then he and Aaron summon the people to come and gather at the rock. 00:01:30.236 --> 00:01:31.436 Listen you rebels. 00:01:31.676 --> 00:01:34.946 He shouted, must we bring you water from this rock? 00:01:35.846 --> 00:01:40.196 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff. 00:01:40.616 --> 00:01:44.636 And water gushed out so the entire community and their 00:01:44.636 --> 00:01:46.496 livestock drank their fill. 00:01:47.576 --> 00:01:52.256 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, because you did not trust me enough 00:01:52.256 --> 00:01:56.336 to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead 00:01:56.336 --> 00:01:58.076 them into the land I am giving them. 00:01:59.036 --> 00:02:03.056 This place was known as the waters of Marba, which means arguing 00:02:03.536 --> 00:02:08.006 because they're the people of Israel, argued with the Lord, and there he 00:02:08.006 --> 00:02:10.136 demonstrated his holiness among them. 00:02:12.221 --> 00:02:16.481 While Moses was at Kadish, he sent ambassadors to the King of Edam 00:02:16.481 --> 00:02:21.131 with this message, this is what your relatives, the people of Israel say, 00:02:21.791 --> 00:02:26.111 you know, all the hardships we have been through, our ancestors went down 00:02:26.111 --> 00:02:31.481 to Egypt and we live there a long time and we, and our ancestors were 00:02:31.481 --> 00:02:33.671 brutally mistreated by the Egyptians. 00:02:34.451 --> 00:02:37.931 But when we cried out to the Lord, he heard us and sent an 00:02:37.931 --> 00:02:39.881 angel who brought us out of Egypt. 00:02:40.661 --> 00:02:44.591 Now we are camped at Kadish, a town on the border of your land. 00:02:45.251 --> 00:02:47.321 Please let us travel through your land. 00:02:47.951 --> 00:02:50.831 We will be careful not to go through your fields and vineyards. 00:02:51.191 --> 00:02:53.441 We won't even drink water from your wells. 00:02:53.921 --> 00:02:57.281 We will stay on the King's road and never leave it until we have 00:02:57.286 --> 00:02:58.691 passed through your territory. 00:02:58.691 --> 00:03:05.471 But the King of Edam said, stay out of my land, or I will meet you with an army. 00:03:06.431 --> 00:03:07.691 The Israelites answered. 00:03:08.141 --> 00:03:09.671 We will stay on the main road. 00:03:10.061 --> 00:03:12.881 If our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. 00:03:13.361 --> 00:03:15.281 Just let us pass through your country. 00:03:15.281 --> 00:03:16.361 That's all we ask. 00:03:17.231 --> 00:03:19.871 But the King of Edam replied, stay out. 00:03:20.021 --> 00:03:22.091 You may not pass through our land. 00:03:22.811 --> 00:03:27.491 With that, he mobilized his army and marched out against them with an imposing 00:03:27.491 --> 00:03:32.321 force because Edam refused to allow Israel to pass through their country. 00:03:32.861 --> 00:03:34.781 Israel was forced to turn around. 00:03:37.031 --> 00:03:42.161 The whole community of Israel left Kadish and arrived at Mount Whore there 00:03:42.161 --> 00:03:43.811 on the border of the land of Edam. 00:03:44.111 --> 00:03:48.341 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, the time has come for Aaron to 00:03:48.346 --> 00:03:50.171 join his ancestors in death. 00:03:50.891 --> 00:03:52.271 He will not enter the land. 00:03:52.271 --> 00:03:55.211 I am giving the people of Israel because the two of you 00:03:55.211 --> 00:03:58.691 rebelled against my instructions concerning the water at Marba. 00:03:59.351 --> 00:04:03.221 Now take Aaron and his son Ezer up Mount whore. 00:04:03.896 --> 00:04:08.756 There you will remove Aaron's priestly garments and put them on LEAs or his son. 00:04:09.476 --> 00:04:12.536 Aaron will die there and join his ancestors. 00:04:13.766 --> 00:04:15.956 So Moses did as the Lord commanded. 00:04:16.766 --> 00:04:20.366 The three of them went up Mount whore together as the whole community 00:04:20.371 --> 00:04:25.256 watched at the summit, Moses removed the priestly garments from Aaron 00:04:25.586 --> 00:04:28.106 and put them on Zer, Aaron's son. 00:04:28.961 --> 00:04:33.041 Then Aaron died there on top of the mountain, and Moses 00:04:33.041 --> 00:04:35.051 and Azer went back down. 00:04:35.861 --> 00:04:41.831 When the people realized that Aaron had died, all Israel mourned for him 30 days. 00:04:43.751 --> 00:04:48.221 The Canaanite King of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that the Israelites were 00:04:48.221 --> 00:04:50.261 approaching on the road through Ather him. 00:04:50.861 --> 00:04:54.161 So he attacked the Israelites and took some of them as prisoners. 00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:57.611 Then the people of Israel made this vow to the Lord. 00:04:58.181 --> 00:05:01.571 If you will hand these people over to us, we will completely 00:05:01.571 --> 00:05:03.251 destroy all their towns. 00:05:03.971 --> 00:05:08.381 The Lord heard the Israelites request and gave them victory over the Canaanites. 00:05:08.981 --> 00:05:13.061 The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and the 00:05:13.061 --> 00:05:14.501 place has been called Homa. 00:05:14.681 --> 00:05:15.551 Ever since 00:05:17.741 --> 00:05:17.921 then. 00:05:17.921 --> 00:05:21.401 The people of Israel set out from Mount whore taking the road to the 00:05:21.401 --> 00:05:23.471 Red Sea to go around the land of Edem. 00:05:24.686 --> 00:05:28.406 But the people grew impatient with the long journey and they began 00:05:28.406 --> 00:05:30.896 to speak against God and Moses. 00:05:31.376 --> 00:05:34.886 Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in the wilderness? 00:05:35.036 --> 00:05:38.996 They complained there is nothing to eat here and nothing to drink, 00:05:39.146 --> 00:05:41.096 and we hate this horrible manna. 00:05:42.326 --> 00:05:47.456 So the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people and many were bitten and died. 00:05:48.221 --> 00:05:52.181 Then the people came to Moses and cried out, we have sinned by speaking 00:05:52.181 --> 00:05:53.981 against the Lord and against you. 00:05:54.401 --> 00:05:56.471 Pray that the Lord will take away the snakes. 00:05:57.071 --> 00:05:58.601 So Moses prayed for the people. 00:05:59.501 --> 00:06:05.111 Then the Lord told him, make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. 00:06:05.651 --> 00:06:08.831 All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it. 00:06:09.791 --> 00:06:13.871 So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. 00:06:14.411 --> 00:06:17.531 Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the 00:06:17.536 --> 00:06:19.541 bronze snake and be healed. 00:06:21.551 --> 00:06:25.511 The Israelites traveled next to OBO and camped there. 00:06:26.321 --> 00:06:31.481 Then they went on to AA aberam in the wilderness on the eastern border of Moab. 00:06:32.291 --> 00:06:36.251 From there, they traveled to the valley of Zeroed Brook and set up camp. 00:06:37.031 --> 00:06:41.561 Then they moved out and camped on the far side of the Arnon River in the wilderness 00:06:41.561 --> 00:06:44.051 adjacent to the territory of the Amorites. 00:06:44.801 --> 00:06:48.851 The Arnon is the boundary line between the Moabites and the Amorites. 00:06:49.481 --> 00:06:53.711 For this reason, the book of the Wars of the Lord speaks of the town 00:06:53.716 --> 00:06:59.291 of Weeb in the area of sfa and the ravines of the Arnon River and the 00:06:59.291 --> 00:07:03.821 ravines that extend as far as the settlement of R on the border of Moab. 00:07:05.261 --> 00:07:09.161 From there, the Israelites traveled to beer, which is the well, where the 00:07:09.161 --> 00:07:14.711 Lord said to Moses, assemble the people and I will give them water there. 00:07:14.711 --> 00:07:17.771 The Israelites sang this song, spring Up. 00:07:17.771 --> 00:07:19.271 Oh well, yes. 00:07:19.421 --> 00:07:20.561 Sing its praises. 00:07:21.041 --> 00:07:25.511 Sing of this well, which princes Doug, which great leaders hollowed 00:07:25.511 --> 00:07:27.911 out with their sectors and staffs. 00:07:28.841 --> 00:07:32.291 Then the Israelites left the wilderness and proceeded on through Matina. 00:07:33.101 --> 00:07:34.811 Neha and Bemo. 00:07:35.441 --> 00:07:38.591 After that, they went to the valley in Moab, where Pisca 00:07:38.591 --> 00:07:40.481 Peak overlooks the wasteland. 00:07:42.581 --> 00:07:46.481 The Israelites sent ambassadors to King Shan of the Amorites. 00:07:46.481 --> 00:07:49.781 With this message, let us travel through your land. 00:07:50.291 --> 00:07:53.111 We will be careful not to go through your fields and vineyards. 00:07:53.501 --> 00:07:55.661 We won't even drink water from your wells. 00:07:56.141 --> 00:08:00.041 We will stay on the King's Road until we have passed through your territory. 00:08:01.151 --> 00:08:04.541 But King Shan refused to let them cross his territory. 00:08:05.141 --> 00:08:10.211 Instead, he mobilized his entire army and attacked Israel in the wilderness, 00:08:10.511 --> 00:08:12.491 engaging them in battle at Jha. 00:08:13.691 --> 00:08:17.861 But the Israelites slaughtered them with their swords and occupied their land 00:08:17.861 --> 00:08:20.321 from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. 00:08:21.041 --> 00:08:24.971 They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary 00:08:24.971 --> 00:08:26.951 of the Ammonites was fortified. 00:08:27.986 --> 00:08:32.006 So Israel captured all the towns of the Amorites and settled in 00:08:32.006 --> 00:08:36.116 them, including the city of Hessman and its surrounding villages. 00:08:36.836 --> 00:08:40.436 Hessman had been the capital of King Shan of the Amorites. 00:08:40.916 --> 00:08:45.356 He had defeated a former Moabite King and seized all his land 00:08:45.361 --> 00:08:46.946 as far as the Arnon River. 00:08:47.666 --> 00:08:50.876 Therefore, the ancient poets wrote this about him. 00:08:52.136 --> 00:08:54.866 Come to Hessman and let it be rebuilt. 00:08:55.511 --> 00:08:58.211 Let the city of Shan be restored. 00:08:59.051 --> 00:09:04.271 A fire flamed forth from Hessman ablaze from the city of Shan. 00:09:04.961 --> 00:09:10.331 It burned the city of R in Moab, it destroyed the rulers of the Arnon Heights. 00:09:10.961 --> 00:09:13.841 What sorrow awaits you O people of Moab. 00:09:14.381 --> 00:09:17.441 You are finished a worshipers of mosh. 00:09:18.116 --> 00:09:22.556 Kiosh has left his sons as refugees, his daughters as 00:09:22.556 --> 00:09:25.766 captives of Shan, the Amorite King. 00:09:26.516 --> 00:09:30.326 We have utterly destroyed them from Hassin to Dban. 00:09:30.806 --> 00:09:35.636 We have completely wiped them out as far away as Nofa and MEbA. 00:09:36.836 --> 00:09:40.296 So the people of Israel occupied the territory of the Amorites. 00:09:41.246 --> 00:09:46.196 After Moses sent men to explore the Jayer area, they captured all 00:09:46.196 --> 00:09:49.796 the towns in the region and drove out the Amorites who lived there. 00:09:50.726 --> 00:09:55.946 Then they turned and marched up the road to Bayesian, but King OG of Bayesian and 00:09:55.946 --> 00:09:58.856 all his people a attacked them at EDRi. 00:09:58.856 --> 00:10:03.506 I, the Lord, said to Moses, do not be afraid of him for I have 00:10:03.506 --> 00:10:07.886 handed him over to you along with all his people and his land. 00:10:08.771 --> 00:10:12.671 Do the same to him as you did to King Shan of the Amorites who ruled 00:10:12.671 --> 00:10:18.161 in Hessman and Israel killed King og his sons and all his subjects. 00:10:18.581 --> 00:10:23.381 Not a single survivor remained then Israel occupied their land. 00:10:23.671 --> 00:10:27.791 This concludes today's immerse reading experience. 00:10:27.911 --> 00:10:29.111 Thank you for joining us.
