From Numbers 10-12:
1. It is interesting to see how the two silver trumpets were to be used. I never thought of this detail, but God had it all figured out ahead of time.
2. I am not sure why it talks about Reuel the Midianite as being Moses' father-in-law. According to Exodus 18 it was Jethro, the priest of Midian. The only explanations I can come up with are these; - it was another name that Jethro went by
- Moses was married to more than one person, so he had more than one father-in-law
- the name mentioned is the name of someone else and I am reading the passage wrong
3. Chapter 11 talks about the Lord's anger being aroused and some of the children of the Lord getting burned and some of the outskirts being consumed. I wonder what happened. It sounds kind of like a brush fire or something, but there are no details.
4. Now I see that Moses indeed must have had another wife, because it tells of this Cushite wife in chapter 12.
5. Now that is humble! - Wow!!! It is really special when the bible says that you are the most humble person on the earth. See Numbers 12:3. I suppose that is one of the reasons that God fights for Moses against his brother Aaron and sister Miriam. See Numbers 12:6-10.
