Status Updates From ESV Illuminated Scripture J...

An angel of the lord with a sword that is only seen by a talking donkey initially? Is numbers 22 my new favorite Bible chapter?

“So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah—married their cousins on their father’s side.”

God encourages this btw

“And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.”

The fuck

(Numbers 31:13)
Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself.

Bruh

“but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.”

I've literally lost count of how many people God has killed so far bro

God just killed nearly 15000 people.

“ While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

What a loving and kind God

“Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation“

How is that fair?? Are children born as sinners then?
