Isn’t it enough that you brought us out of Egypt, a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us here in this wilderness, and that you now treat us like your subjects? 14What’s more, you haven’t brought us into another land flowing with milk and honey. You haven’t given us a new homeland with fields and vineyards. Are you trying to fool these men?16:14 Hebrew Are you trying to put out the eyes of these men? We will not come.”

But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. “O God,” they pleaded, “you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?”

“Place Aaron’s staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths.” 11So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.

Be sure to give to the Lord the best portions of the gifts given to you.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart grateful for the struggles I endure, Keep my eyes focused on you to the point nothing else distracts me, I am grateful for your blessing and grace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

They said to all the people of Israel, “The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! 8And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. 9Do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”

And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them? 12I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!”

“Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed. For you said, 18‘The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty.

 They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice. 23They will never even see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever see it. 

Then they got up early the next morning and went to the top of the range of hills. “Let’s go,” they said. “We realize that we have sinned, but now we are ready to enter the land the Lord has promised us.”41But Moses said, “Why are you now disobeying the Lord’s orders to return to the wilderness? It won’t work. 42Do not go up into the land now. You will only be crushed by your enemies because the Lord is not with you. 43When you face the Amalekites and Canaanites in battle, you will be slaughtered. The Lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the Lord.”44But the people defiantly pushed ahead toward the hill country, even though neither Moses nor the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant left the camp. 45Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in those hills came down and attacked them and chased them back as far as Hormah.

Lord God my Father,

Be with me and give me strength to resist doubt, I want to stay under your authority and do your will, I am weak and sinful without you, my you have your way with me this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised wonderful blessings for Israel!”30But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go. I must return to my own land and family.”31“Please don’t leave us,” Moses pleaded. “You know the places in the wilderness where we should camp. Come, be our guide. 32If you do, we’ll share with you all the blessings the Lord gives us.”

Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. “Oh, for some meat!” they exclaimed. 5“We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted. 6But now our appetites are gone. All we ever see is this manna!”

But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them all!” 30Then Moses returned to the camp with the elders of Israel.

Lord God my Father,

You invite me to do your will and I complain, Lord Give me a spirit of obedience to trust you completely and do your will without putting my limits on you. Keep my heart in check that indeed all things are possible with you even if I have no idea what you are up to.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

2I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people. 13I am the Lord your God,

So the people of Israel did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the Lord had instructed them.

Lord God my Father,

You are my God, may I follow your direction in my life, may I do all as you direct me, may your glory shine thru my actions.

I Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the Lord.

I am the Lord.”

Lord God my Father,

Help my heart to be obedient to you in all areas, clear my thoughts from any detestable thoughts and allow your peace to rest well with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

This procedure will determine whether a person or object is ceremonially clean or unclean.

He will lay both of his hands on the goat’s head and confess over it all the wickedness, rebellion, and sins of the people of Israel. In this way, he will transfer the people’s sins to the head of the goat. Then a man specially chosen for the task will drive the goat into the wilderness. 22As the goat goes into the wilderness, it will carry all the people’s sins upon itself into a desolate land.

and you will be purified in the Lord’s presence from all your sins. 31It will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. 

Lord God my Father,

Your instruction is precise, I wish to be clean from my sin nature and rest in your presence surrendering all my struggles to your care, May your peace and Truth overwhelm my desire to control what you do thru me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

‘I will display my holiness through those who come near me. I will display my glory before all the people.’”

“Do not show grief by leaving your hair uncombed10:6 Or by uncovering your heads. or by tearing your clothes. If you do, you will die, and the Lord’s anger will strike the whole community of Israel.

Then Aaron answered Moses, “Today my sons presented both their sin offering and their burnt offering to the Lord. And yet this tragedy has happened to me. If I had eaten the people’s sin offering on such a tragic day as this, would the Lord have been pleased?” 20And when Moses heard this, he was satisfied.

Lord God my Father,

Help me in my obedience and discipline. Help me to bring you honor in how I worship you and why. Allow me to go deeper in my Love for others and myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“If the entire Israelite community sins by violating one of the Lord’s commands, but the people don’t realize it, they are still guilty. 14When they become aware of their sin, the people must bring a young bull as an offering for their sin and present it before the Tabernacle.

“If one of Israel’s leaders sins by violating one of the commands of the Lord his God but doesn’t realize it, he is still guilty. 23When he becomes aware of his sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat with no defects.

Lord God my Father,

Make me aware of the sin I am un aware of in order to surrender it to your forgiveness, I wish to be free from it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“If you present a grain offering to the Lord from the first portion of your harvest, .

“If you present an animal from the herd as a peace offering to the Lord, it may be a male or a female, but it must have no defects. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to surrender to you and make proper offerings, soften my stubborn heart to give you glory in everything good, bond my spirit to you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
