GOD in the Old Testament - Numbers - Part 4

Numbers 24:2-4  

When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him and he spoke his message:

    "The prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor,

        the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,

    the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,

        who sees a vision from the Almighty,

        who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: ..." 

 

Numbers 24:8  

    "God brought them out of Egypt;

        they have the strength of a wild ox.

    They devour hostile nations

        and break their bones in pieces;

        with their arrows they pierce them."

 

Psalm 24:15-16  

    Then he spoke this message:

    "The prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor,

        the prophecy of one who sees clearly,

    the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,

        who has knowledge from the Most High,

    who sees a vision from the Almighty,

        who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: ..." 

 

Numbers 24:23-24  

    Then he spoke his message:

    "Alas! Who can live when God does this?

        Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus;

    they will subdue Ashur and Eber,

        but they too will come to ruin." 

    (see all Numbers 24)

 

Numbers 25:10-13  

    The LORD said to Moses, "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites."

(see all Numbers 25) 

 

Numbers 27:15-17  

    Moses said to the LORD, "May the LORD, the God who gives breath to all living things, appoint someone over this community to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

(see all Numbers 27)
