Numbers 33: Every stage of the way

Read Numbers 33:1-56 before you meet.

In a few lines

Moses wrote this list "by the commandment of the LORD" (33:2): forty-one camps from Rameses to the plains of Moab, with twelve in a row that no story in Numbers mentions (33:18-29). And the chapter ends by turning its warning on Israel: "as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you" (33:56).

The verse to carry

“Moses wrote the starting points of their journeys by the commandment of the LORD. These are their journeys according to their starting points.”

Numbers 33:2

To talk about

  1. 1. The LORD had Moses write down every camp, including the ones where nothing is told (33:2, 33:18-29). If you wrote the "starting points" of your own journey with God, which places would be on the list, and why?

  2. 2. The warning was about what Israel would let stay: "those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes" (33:55). Why do you think small compromises are so easy to live with at first?

  3. 3. "As I thought to do to them, so I will do to you" (33:56). How does it change things to know God holds his own people to the same standard he holds everyone else?
