Numbers 15
Skip Heitzig
Numbers 15 (NKJV™) | |
1 | And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
2 | "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, |
3 | 'and you make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the LORD, from the herd or the flock, |
4 | 'then he who presents his offering to the LORD shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a HIN of oil; |
5 | 'and one-fourth of a HIN of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb. |
6 | 'Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a HIN of oil; |
7 | 'and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a HIN of wine as a sweet aroma to the LORD. |
8 | 'And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the LORD, |
9 | 'then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a HIN of oil; |
10 | 'and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. |
11 | 'Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. |
12 | 'According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number. |
13 | 'All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. |
14 | 'And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD, just as you do, so shall he do. |
15 | 'One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. |
16 | 'One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.'" |
17 | Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
18 | "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land to which I bring you, |
19 | 'then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the LORD. |
20 | 'You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. |
21 | 'Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the LORD a heave offering throughout your generations. |
22 | 'If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses-- |
23 | 'all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the LORD gave commandment and onward throughout your generations-- |
24 | 'then it will be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering. |
25 | 'So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their unintended sin. |
26 | 'It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally. |
27 | 'And if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. |
28 | 'So the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. |
29 | 'You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells among them. |
30 | 'But the person who does anything presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the LORD, and he shall be cut off from among his people. |
31 | 'Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon him.'" |
32 | Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. |
33 | And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. |
34 | They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him. |
35 | Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." |
36 | So, as the LORD commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died. |
37 | Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
38 | "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. |
39 | "And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, |
40 | "and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. |
41 | "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God." |

After learning about some of Israel's failures in Numbers 13-14, we now consider Numbers 15, where God gives His people a fresh start. He makes a new promise to a new generation and gives a new set of laws. As we examine these laws, we learn how they can be applied to our lives. We also remember the good and perfect work of the cross as we partake in Communion.
Numbers is a book with two themes: Israel's failure and God's faithfulness. As we consider Israel's desert wanderings, we learn what can happen when people refuse to believe God's promises, and we are challenged to walk humbly with our ever-faithful Lord.

Numbers 6-7 Numbers 6-7 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary As we study Numbers 6-7, we see some of the ways that God's chosen people separated themselves to the Lord and worshiped Him. As the body of Christ, we must also remember that the Lord should be the center of our lives and that our worship to Him is about giving rather than getting. |

Their lack of trust in the Lord led them to make the wrong choice, resulting in harsh consequences.

Numbers 24-25 Numbers 24-25 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The Lord used the false prophet Balaam to bless the nation of Israel, and through Balaam's final prophecy in Numbers 24, God sealed the fate of Israel and its surrounding nations. But even though the Lord blessed His people, they still sinned, worshiping the gods of other nations. When God poured out His wrath on their sin in Numbers 25, we actually see the depth of His mercy and patience. |

Numbers 28-29 Numbers 28-29 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary As we study Numbers 28-29, we learn about ten sacrifices and feasts the children of Israel carried out as worship to the Lord. We can think about the enormity of their sacrifices—they sacrificed over a thousand animals every year—but God was the one who initially provided the animals for them. We should focus on the enormity of sacrifice God Himself gave—even the life of His Son. |

Numbers 30-31 Numbers 30-31 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Numbers 30-31 can be summed up in three words: vows, vengeance, and victory. In these chapters, God gives the children of Israel a set of regulations for vows, they war against the Midianites, and the Lord gives them victory. As we apply the text to our lives, we learn that our word is sacred, vengeance is the Lord's business, and God gives victory to those who are obedient. |

Info Message Summary In Numbers 32-34, two and a half tribes refuse to enter Canaan, but in exchange for their help in the battle for the Promised Land, God gives them the land of Gilead. Then when the boundaries of the Promised Land are drawn, we find out Israel only occupied one-tenth of what God promised Abraham. In this study, we are challenged to ask ourselves: Do we sit on the sidelines while our brothers and sisters go to battle for the Lord? And are we content to forfeit the inheritance God has for us? |

Numbers 35-36 Numbers 35-36 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary In the last two chapters of Numbers, God assigned cities for the tribe of Levi to dwell in, gave instructions for the cities of refuge, and enacted a new law concerning the marriage of female heirs. This book ends similar to how it began: with God at the center of His children's lives. As we wrap up the book of Numbers, we see God's overwhelming mercy, a prophetic picture of our High Priest and Redeemer, and God's view of the sanctity of life. Even though generations have died in the wilderness, God's plan, purpose, and work in the lives of His people are very much alive. |
