...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Vow to Kapow

And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.-Numbers 21:1-3***During the beginning of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, the slowest and most tired walkers among the Israelites were ambushed by the Amalekites. Afterwards, the Lord God gave the Israelites victory over the Amalekites. The next year, the Amalekites and some Canaanites defeated the Israelites, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the disobedience of the Israelites. When Moses and his fellow Israelites wanted to pass through an area inhabited by the Edomites, the Edomites refused to allow the Israelites to enter, and the Edomites gathered to fight. A battle did not ensue, however, according to the command that the Lord God gave Moses for the Israelites. The Israelites are the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God, descendants of Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). The Edomites descended from Isaac and Rebekah's oldest fraternal twin son Esau (Edom). One group of Amalekites descended from Esau's grandson Amalek. The Canaanites descended from Noah's son Ham and Ham's son Canaan. During the 40th year of the journey to the Promised Land, 120-year-old Moses the prophet went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-21:35, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 23:1-8, 25:17-19, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, 6:1-71, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scriptures:
Theses are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.-Numbers 33:1...And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.-Numbers 33:40
