1And the LORD said to Moses, 2“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
“The Midianites were a large confederation of tribes, associated with various smaller groups... They roamed through the arid lands of the Sinai, the Negeb and Transjordan. Here it is those Midianites associated with Moab that are picked out for vengeance.” (Wenham)
“The Scriptures repeatedly speak of the vengeance of God as a positive thing. Evil comes when we take vengeance into our own hands.” (Guzik)
“After that”…. Not immediately but after all the same Moses would “be gathered to your people.”
Moses was warned and given a timeframe when he would die.
If you were given the same opportunity, what would you do?
Blessings
