6Israel was greatly impoverished by Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the LORD.
“That is, the whole breadth of the land, from Jordan to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Thus the whole land was ravaged and the inhabitants deprived of the necessaries of life.” (Clarke)
“The Midianites were a desert-dwelling people and they dominated Israel because of their effective use of camels.” (Guzik)
“It is clear that the use of this angular and imposing beast struck terror in the hearts of the Israelites.” (Cundall)
Numbers 31: 1And the LORD said to Moses, 2“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. 3So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
Impoverished
When Gods chosen people, a nation started by Him sinned against Him, He used their enemies to bring judgment upon them through impoverishment.
Will God bring judgment upon our nation for sinning against Him?
Blessings
Who were the Midianites?
