9/1 Reading (Numbers 33-35; Acts 21)

Numbers 33: Chapter is a retelling of the journey up to this point. Nothing much to add…just that theyā€™ve walked a long way and have been traveling for a long time.

8/31 Reading (Numbers 30-32; Acts 20)

Numbers 30: Now we get into the importance of making vows and what that means. A fitting read considering how much all of us make and eventually break some of our vows/promises.

8/29 Reading (Numbers 24-26; Acts 18)

Numbers 24: The end of the story with Balaam and Balak. Balaam leaves and goes back home, arguing that he will not fight the Israelites because God is on their side and he wonā€™t go against. God. Smart guy!

8/26 Reading (Numbers 18-20; Psalms 25-27)

Numbers is tedious. Lots of rules and regulations to follow.

Numbers 18: Learn about the priestsā€™ and Levitesā€™ duties, the priestsā€™ compensation, and the Levitesā€™ compensation.
