Camping Trip
Have you ever gone camping and couldn’t wait to get home for one reason or another? In these verses the Israelites went camping for some 38 years because the generation of unbelief were to die off in the wilderness before the next generation could possess the promised land!
“The listing of Israel’s encampments comes rapidly; more than 30 place-names are given in quick succession. During this time, there was a lot of activity for the people of Israel - but no progress. They weren’t coming any closer to the Promised Land and would not come closer until the generation of unbelief had passed away.” (Guzik)
Blessings
