Numbers 33: Chapter is a retelling of the journey up to this point. Nothing much to add…just that theyāve walked a long way and have been traveling for a long time. Although, at the end God made it clear that they must drive out all the people who currently live in Canaan. If not, they will continue to be a problem for the Israelites.

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. I do think itās interesting that it takes just one verse to address menās vows, but 13 verses to address womenās vows.

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.
