There Was a Whole Lot of Killing Going On

And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there. And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.-Numbers 21:32-35***Moses was 80 years old and his brother Aaron was 83 when they led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness, according to the commands of the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Shur, Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, and the bitter waters became drinkable. In the desert wilderness of Sin, the Lord God began to rain down manna, bread from heaven, for the Israelites. In Rephidim, Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God and the Israelites were able to drink water that came out from a rock. Joshua, Moses' aide, led the Israelites to victory over the Amalekites in Rephidim, according to the will of the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, the Lord God descended upon Mount Sinai in fire, and the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. Moreover, in Sinai, the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites, and the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. While Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Israelites told Aaron to make gods for them, and the Israelites worshiped the golden calf Aaron made. Israelites from the tribe of Levi, the birth tribe of Aaron, Moses and their older sister Miriam, obeyed the words spoken by Moses and killed 3,000 men. Sometime thereafter, Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire to the Lord God, and fire went out from the Lord God and devoured Nadab and Abihu. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, the Israelites kept the Passover. In Taberah, the fire of the Lord God consumed some of those on the outer edges of the camp. The Lord God struck with a great plague those in Kibroth-hattaavah who specifically lusted. In Hazeroth, Miriam was a leper. In the desert wilderness of Paran,  Moses sent 12 Israelites, including Joshua and Caleb, as spies to Canaan, the Promised Land. Caleb and Joshua returned from Canaan and spoke faithfully of the Lord God. The other spies proclaimed evil to the Israelites and those 10 spies died by the plague. Amalekites and Canaanites successfully attacked a group of Israelites. Sometime thereafter, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and those with them were swallowed into the earth, and a fire came out from the Lord God and consumed their 250 supporters. Almost immediately after the 250 died, 14,700 Israelites died in a plague. During the 40-year journey to the Promised Land, Miriam died in Kadesh in the desert wilderness of Zin. Moreover, in Kadesh, Moses and Aaron did not obey the command of the Lord God. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried. Before 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried, Israelites died after they were bitten by fiery serpents, and Israelites destroyed Canaanites in Hormah, and killed King Sihon and the Amorites of Heshbon, and killed gigantic King Og, and Og's sons and the inhabitants of Bashan, and killed and captured Midianites and their cohort Balaam. In Shittim, Israelites were killed by Israelites and 24,000 Israelites were killed in the plague. Over 1,400 years after Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants, 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 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 10:1-20, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
