Thought for Today: Sunday January 22:

Too often, many people and even believers, are filled with regret and guilt because they have failed to reach out to someone with whom they had a problem – and then when death comes, it is too late to do something about it. Do not let this happen to you. If a broken relationship, argument or ill feeling comes to mind, know that the place to begin is within yourself. Make peace and let that person know that you care and that you love him/her in Yeshua Moshiach. Also never use words alone – back it up with action.

MOSES DISOBEYS

THE DEATH OF MIRIAM AND AARON

From Numbers 20

After many years of wandering in the wilderness, the people of Israel assembled again at Kadesh, passing first through the Wilderness of Zin. It was the first month, probably about April, when they arrived at Kadesh. While they were there, Moses’ sister Miriam died and was buried. After a while the water supply at Kadesh ran out and the people gathered together to complain against Moses and Aaron. If only we had died with our relatives who died before Adonai! They said: why have you brought all Adonai’s people; and our animals too; to die in this wilderness? Why have you brought us from Egypt to this evil place? There is no place to plant seeds or raise fig trees, vines or pomegranates. There is not even any drinking water! Moses and Aaron went to the tabernacle and fell with their faces to the ground at the doorway. The glory of Adonai appeared to them, and Adonai spoke to Moses. Take Aaron’s rod to that rock over there, He said. Summon the people and while they are with you, speak to the rock and tell it to give forth water. Then out of the rock will pour enough water for all of the people and their cattle. Moses took Aaron’s rod and went with Aaron to the rock. They summoned the people to the rock and spoke to them. Listen to me, you rebels; Moses said. Must we bring water from this rock for you? Moses lifted Aaron’s rod in his hand and struck the rock twice. Water poured from the rock, enough for all the people and the cattle to drink. But Adonai scolded Moses and Aaron for the way they had done this. You did not honour Me before the people of Israel, Adonai said. Therefore, you shall not enter the Promised Land with your people. The place where the rock was struck was named Meribah, which meant {Rebel Waters,} for this was the place where Israel rebelled against Adonai. But Adonai showed them His Holiness there. While the people camped at Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom. Greetings from the descendants of your brother Israel, the message said. You are aware of all of the problems we have had how our ancestors went to Egypt and stayed for a long time and how the Egyptians made slaves of our people. But when we pleaded with Adonai, He sent His Angel to lead us from Egypt. Now we are camped here at Kadesh, not far from the border of your land. Let us pass through your land. We will not go across a field or vineyard, nor will we drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the king’s highway until we have passed through your land. No, you may not pass through our land, the king replied. If you do, we will come out and fight you. But we will stay on the king’s highway, Israel insisted. If we drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We only want to pass through your land. The king of Edom answered by sending an army to the border. When Israel saw that the king would not let them pass through Edom, they turned away from Kadesh and went to Mount Hor, which was near the border of Edom. While they camped near Mount Hor, Adonai spoke to Moses and Aaron. Aaron will soon die, for he will not enter the Promised Land with his people since the two of you rebelled against Me at the waters of Meribah, Adonai said. Take Aaron with his son Eleazar into Mount Hor. Take Aaron’s garments from him and put them on Eleazar. Then Aaron will die in the mountain. Moses did as Adonai Commanded and the three of them went up into Mount Hor, while all the people of Israel watched them. Moses took Aaron’s garments from him and put them on his son Eleazar. There, in the top of Mount Hor, Aaron died. Then Moses and Eleazar came down. When the people learned that Aaron was dead, they mourned for him for thirty days.

{GATHERED TO ONE’S FATHERS}: BURIAL CUSTOMS

Israelites that died in the desert were simply buried in the sand, with the hope that the hole was deep enough not to attract hungry wild animals. Even important people like Miriam and Aaron were buried in this way. Even after the Hebrews settled in Canaan, their burial customs remained fairly simple. Because bodies were not embalmed and the climate was very hot, bodies were buried within twenty-four hours of death. Usually, the family and friends of the dead prepared the body by washing and anointing it. The body was then wrapped in a cloth for burial. Professional mourners and flute players joined the family in the required seven days of mourning. During the earliest years in Canaan, people buried loved ones beneath the house so the spirits would remain with the family. Samuel was buried in this way. Very poor people were simply put into the ground or their bodies covered with rocks in an unused cistern or shallow pit. The body might be wrapped in its cloak or an animal skin. Later on in Canaan, families who could afford it buried their members in caves. That is how Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah were buried. Others carved tombs in limestone hillsides or beneath hills. As time went on, rooms ringed with burial slots were added, leading in a semicircle back to the first room. As new bodies were buried in the tombs, the bones of the old skeletons were gathered and stored in special stone or pottery jars or boxes called {ossuaries.} These were shaped like chests or houses and were engraved with inscriptions. Sometimes however, the old bones were simply shoved aside to make room for the new body. After several burials, someone entered the tomb to gather each person’s bones for the ossuaries. But sometimes one person’s bones would be mistakenly gathered up and put in an ossuary with another’s, perhaps those of a parent or grandparent. Being {gathered to one’s fathers} in this way was considered an honour, because it symbolized the gathering with one’s ancestors beyond the grave.

Had an old friend tell me I was too legalistic. She believes that if she dropped dead while clubbing, she knows she'd make heaven her home because of grace... Many people are going to perish for lack of knowledge. Unfortunately, we can't do whatever we want and still think we're going to make the kingdom.

Those who keep his commandments, that's who the father loves. We have to stop sugarcoating biblical facts.

Our Creator has been delegating His authority from the beginning. He's got some very important reasons for doing that. We're miss those reasons, however, if all we want to do is maintain the status quo until He fixes the universe.

WATER OF CLEANSING

THE ASHES OF A RED HEIFER

From Numbers 19

Adonai gave Moses and Aaron another Law for the people of Israel: Tell the people of Israel to bring you a perfect red heifer without a blemish, which has never been yoked. Give it to Eleazar the priest, who will lead it outside the camp and watch while someone slaughters it. Eleazar shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the tabernacle. After another person burns the heifer’s skin, flesh, blood and waste before him, Eleazar will throw cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool in the midst of the fire. Before Eleazar returns to the camp, he must wash his clothes and bathe with water. Even so, he will remain unclean until evening. The man who burned the heifer will also wash his clothes and bathe with water and he too, will remain unclean until evening. Someone who is not ceremonially unclean shall gather the ashes and put them in a purified place outside the camp. There they will be kept for use in the purification ceremonies, for the people of Israel to use for the cleansing from sin. The man who gathers the ashes must wash his clothes and he will remain unclean until evening. This will remain a Law for the people of Israel and the foreigner who lives among them. Whoever touches the dead body of a person shall be considered defiled for seven days. He shall purify himself on the third and seventh days with water which has been filtered through the red heifer’s ashes. After that he will be considered pure. But if he fails to do this on the third day, he will remain defiled even after the seventh day. Whoever refuses to purify himself in this manner shall be cut off from the people, for he has defiled the tabernacle of Adonai. Since the cleansing water was not sprinkled on him, he remains un-clean. Now follow this Law concerning a man who dies in a tent. Everyone who is in the tent and everyone who enters the tent shall be unclean for seven days. Every open vessel with no cover fastened upon it is un-clean. Whoever touches a dead body lying in an open field, whether it is someone killed in battle or someone who has died in another way or even the remains of a person, such as a bone or a grave, that person shall remain defiled for seven days. The unclean person shall take some of the ashes from the red heifer and filter spring water through them into a basin. A person who is ceremonially clean shall dip hyssop branches into this water and sprinkle the water upon the tent, the furnishings of the tent and the people who became unclean by entering the tent or by touching the dead body or bone or by touching a grave. This ritual shall be followed on the third and seventh days of uncleanness. On the seventh day the unclean person shall wash his clothes, bathe and by evening he will be considered clean. Whoever refuses to cleanse himself in this way must be cut off from the congregation, for he has defiled the tabernacle of Adonai. Since the water for uncleanness has not been sprinkled on him, he shall remain unclean. This is a rule for all generations. Also, the man who sprinkles the water must wash his clothes. Any other person touching this water will remain unclean until evening. Whatever the unclean person touches become unclean and anyone else who touches that unclean thing shall be unclean until evening.

COMMENTS

ATTITUDES TOWARD THE DEAD

Many people today die away from home in hospitals and rest homes. But in Bible times, death was frequent and usually at home with the family nearby. In Egypt, anyone who could afford it arranged to be embalmed. The priests who washed, cleaned, stuffed and embalmed the mummy had an unpleasant but respected job. But there was one exception. The man responsible for cutting the body so that the insides could be removed and cleaned; called the {cutter}; was considered unclean. That was because the Egyptians abhorred anyone who injured another, even if that person was dead. But it was a necessary step, for then the insides were removed, washed, embalmed and kept in special jars. For the Israelites, any contact at all with a dead body was considered polluting. Both the high priest and a person under a Nazirite vow could not go near or see the dead, even their own parents. A regular priest could touch a dead parent or relative, but he was defiled until sundown, when he would bathe to become ritually clean. An ordinary person who touched a dead body was defiled for seven days. Anything else touched by that person during the period was unclean until the evening of that day. On the third and seventh day of defilement, he was sprinkled with water run through the ashes of a sacrificed red heifer, which the priests kept for that purpose. The clean person who did the sprinkling then would have to wash his own clothes. On the seventh day after the defilement, the person who had touched the dead would wash himself and his clothes and would be considered clean again. Similar strict rules applied to a person who touched a non-kosher dead animal, one declared unfit to eat.
