1. in numbers 27, God tells moses he's gonna die without going into the promise land. but his death doesn't come until the end of deut. can you image being told you're gonna die. but not knowing exactly when? at least with aaron, he was told he was gonna die and then he was taken up to the mountain and died there. man! that's gonna be mental agony for moses. and then why would God tell him that? through the history of the Bible, in most cases, God doesn't give you the big picture/ the whole plan. he tells you the next step but unusually just that next step. probably cause we tend to mess things up when we know ahead of time. but with Moses, God seemed to give him the whole plan before it happened.
2. chapter 29: 6
6 These are in addition to the monthly and daily burnt offerings with their grain offerings and drink offerings as specified. They are offerings made to the LORD by fire—a pleasing aroma.
this made me think of 2 corinthians 2:15
15For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
i'll probably revisit this later, but for now, it brings up the imagery/ parallel between the sacrifices by the isrealites and us being a "living sacrifice" before God.
3. numbers 30 - interesting chapter on the idea of honoring your parents and submitting to your husbands. to be revisited again in the NT.
