Numbers 10:1-34, Numbers 9:15-23, Numbers 10:35-36, Numbers 11
\nNum. 10:29 – All through Exodus<\/a>, Moses’ father in law was called ‘Jethro’. Here is says, that Moses’ father in law is either Hobab or Reuel, it’s not clear to me which name the text is refering to. Additionally, Ex. 18:27 says that Moses had sent him back to Midian. I’m confused. Perhaps the father of an unnamed wife?
\nEx. 11:1-3 – Is it just the complaining that angered God so? Simple ingratitude or was it the subject of their complaint? The Bible does not say what they were complaining about, just ‘hardships’. In the NT we are admonished to do everything without complaining (Phil. 2:14) and to be joyful always (1 Thes. 5:16). Evidenly it offends God greatly when we fail to acknowledge how he cares for us, putting our troubles in perspective. Num. 11:20 even calls it a rejection of God.
\nNum. 11-10-15 – Even Moses joins in the whining.
\nNum. 11:18-23 – This is an interesting ‘spat’ between Moses and God. It’s hard to know what to make of this passage. God seems spitefull and vengeful here. It is not the God of patience or tolerance but the jealous and angry God. What, if any impact should this have on my worship of Him? Does His actions here make him less than the perfect God that I want to be? Just because He has a temper does that make Him flawed? It seems that God is the definition of perfect. His actions are the standard we should live by. If so, do passages like this one give us freedom to be angry and vengeful? Do they silently make such behavior acceptable? Is it perhaps the context that makes this OK? If so, what about it? These type of passages are tough to reconcile with the picture of God we get from Sunday School, the picture we want<\/i> to believe in. I don’t want to just say it’s good just because I want it to be, I want to know why it’s OK. If we acted this way, would God condemn us? It would seem hypocritical for Him to, and I don’t believe that He would. There must be an explination that is out of my reach at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
