Introduction to Numbers 29-36
Chapters 29-30
Moses tells the people, “In the seventh month on first day sound the trumpets; on the tenth day make atonement; on the fifteenth day celebrate for seven days.” He then says, “When a man makes a vow he must not break his word. When a woman makes a vow it shall stand unless her father or husband forbids it.”
Chapter 31
God told Moses to order the Israelites in battle against Midian. Israel fought and killed five Midianite kings. Israel also killed Balaam son of Beor. This text says that Balaam was the one who had told the Midianite women to try
and seduce the Israelites.When Israel brought back all the plunder to the Plains of Moab where they had been camping, Moses was angry with them because they had let the women live. Moses told them to kill all the women who had slept with a man, but not the virgins. Moses also commanded anyone who had killed a person to stay outside the camp for seven days and go through the purification ceremony.
Chapters 32-36
The rest of the book of Numbers is made up of Moses giving instructions to the
people on how to divide up the land once they entered into it.
