Numbers 33

[1] These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out

of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

[2] And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the

commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their

goings out.

[3] And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day

of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel

went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

[4] For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten

among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

[5] And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

[6] And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the

edge of the wilderness.

[7] And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is

before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

[8] And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst

of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the

wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

[9] And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve

fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched

there.

[10] And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

[11] And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of

Sin.

[12] And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped

in Dophkah.

[13] And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

[14] And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no

water for the people to drink.

[15] And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of

Sinai.

[16] And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at

Kibroth-hattaavah.

[17] And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.

[18] And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

[19] And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.

[20] And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.

[21] And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

[22] And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

[23] And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.

[24] And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.

[25] And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

[26] And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

[27] And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

[28] And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

[29] And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

[30] And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

[31] And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.

[32] And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.

[33] And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

[34] And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

[35] And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.

[36] And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of

Zin, which is Kadesh.

[37] And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of

the land of Edom.

[38] And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the

LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were

come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

[39] And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in

mount Hor.

[40] And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of

Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

[41] And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

[42] And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

[43] And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

[44] And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border

of Moab.

[45] And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.

[46] And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.

[47] And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of

Abarim, before Nebo.

[48] And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the

plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

[49] And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim

in the plains of Moab.

[50] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near

Jericho, saying,

[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are

passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

[52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before

you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images,

and quite pluck down all their high places:

[53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein:

for I have given you the land to possess it.

[54] And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your

families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the

fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be

in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers

ye shall inherit.

[55] But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before

you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them

shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in

the land wherein ye dwell.

[56] Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought

to do unto them.

God's Loving Deeds by Anne Cetas



Psalm 107:1-11,41-43



1 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,

for His mercy endures forever!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let the redeemed of the Lord speak out,

whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) and gathered them from the lands,

from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) They wandered in the wilderness on a deserted path;

they found no city to dwell in.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted in them.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

and He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He led them on a level road,

that they might go to a city to live in.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For He satisfies the longing soul

and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Some sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

being prisoners in affliction and irons,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) because they rebelled against the words of God

and rejected the counsel of the Most High.

41 yet He raises up the poor from affliction

and cares for their families like flocks of sheep.

42 The righteous shall see it and rejoice,

and all evil people shall stop their mouth.

43 Whoever is wise let him observe these things;

let them consider the lovingkindness of the Lord



[1] O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for

ever.

[2] Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the

hand of the enemy;

[3] And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,

from the north, and from the south.

[4] They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no

city to dwell in.

[5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

[6] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them

out of their distresses.

[7] And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of

habitation.

[8] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

wonderful works to the children of men!

[9] For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with

goodness.

[10] Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in

affliction and iron;

[11] Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the

counsel of the most High:

[41] Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him

families like a flock.

[42] The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop

her mouth.

[43] Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall

understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.



They sit side by side on Ball Street in my city - the Grand Ideas Garden and

the county jail. My friend Joann loved both places. She loved to sit in the

garden, thinking about the goodness of God and her love for Him because of

what He'd done in her life. She also loved to share with the women in the jail

and tell her story of God redeeming her life after many bad choices and

wandering far from Him. Often, she would tell me of her passion: her dream

that all the women there would someday understand and experience the love

of God for them personally.



The psalmist told his fellow Israelites to "tell their story" of how God

redeemed them from their enemies (Psalm 107:2). They had "wandered in desert

wastelands," "they were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away"

(vv. 4-5). At times they rebelled against God, and He disciplined them

(vv. 10-12). Yet every time "they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

. . . he delivered them from their distress" (v. 6). They had much to give

God thanks for and to talk about with others. As the Israelites learned, and

we can learn also, He has a love that will never let us go.



We too can take opportunities to "ponder the loving deeds of the Lord" toward

us (v. 43), give thanks to Him, and tell our own story of His rescue.



Reflect & Pray



What has God done for you to transform your life?

Who can you share your story with?



You are so good, and what You’ve done for me

is worth telling others about, dear God. Please give me

the words and open my mouth to speak about You.



Look at what Scripture

says about witnessing to others.
