56 Numbers 32-33 We read the entire Bible because it’s God’s Word — all of it, every single word. Yet, as in today’s reading, some verses standout as significant because they shed light on other sections of the Bible. This is especially true of verses that point us towards salvation. The key verses today, which enlighten us on other key sections of the Bible, are found in Numbers 33:53-54. God warns the Israelites of the consequences of not completely following His command to totally drive out the people living in the Promised Land. These verses are significant because God provides a preview of both what Israel’s history looks like and why it looks this way. As we continue through the Old Testament we’ll see these verses come true. Underline these verses, highlight them or make a note. As we continue to read the story of Israel, we can refer back to these verses and understand that God clearly warned the Israelites of the consequences of not fully taking what God had given them.
