Leviticus 9:22-23
Then Aaron lifted up his hands
toward the people and blessed them,
and he stepped down after making
the sin offering and the burnt offering
and the peace offerings. 23 Moses and
Aaron went into the tent of meeting.
When they came out and blessed the
people, the glory of the LORD
appeared to all the people.
Leviticus 9:24
Then fire came out from before
the LORD and consumed the burnt
offering and the portions of fat on the
altar; and when all the people saw it,
they shouted and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10:1-2
Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons
of Aaron, took their respective
firepans, and after putting fire in
them, placed incense on it and
offered strange fire before the LORD,
which He had not commanded them.
2 And fire came out from the presence
of the LORD and consumed them,
and they died before the LORD.
Leviticus 10:3
Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is
what the LORD spoke, saying, ‘By
those who come near Me I will be
treated as holy, And before all the
people I will be honored.’” So Aaron,
therefore, kept silent.

Preparations for Entry
Aaron shall enter the holy place
with this: with a bull for a sin offering
and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen tunic,
and the linen undergarments shall be
next to his body, and he shall be
girded with the linen sash, and attired
with the linen turban (these are holy
garments). Then he shall bathe his
body in water and put them on.
(Leviticus 16:3-4)
3
Preparations for Entry
And he shall take from the
congregation of the sons of Israel two
male goats for a sin offering and one
ram for a burnt offering. 6 Then Aaron
shall offer the bull for the sin offering
which is for himself, that he may make
atonement for himself and for his
household. (Leviticus 16:6)
5
The Pair of Goats
And he shall take the two goats and
present them before the LORD at the
doorway of the tent of meeting.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots for the two
goats, one lot for the LORD and the
other lot for the scapegoat.
9 Then Aaron shall offer the goat on
which the lot for the LORD fell, and
make it a sin offering. (Leviticus 16:79).
7
The Pair of Goats
But the goat on which the lot for the
scapegoat fell, shall be presented
alive before the LORD, to make
atonement upon it, to send it into the
wilderness as the
scapegoat.
(Leviticus 16:10).
10
The Place of Mercy
Moreover, he shall take some of the
blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his
finger on the mercy seat on the east
side; also in front of the mercy seat he
shall sprinkle some of the blood with
his finger seven times. (Leviticus
16:14).
14
The Place of Mercy
Then he shall slaughter the goat of
the sin offering which is for the
people, and bring its blood inside the
veil, and do with its blood as he did
with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle
it on the mercy seat and in front of the
mercy seat. (Leviticus 16:15).
15
The Presence of One
When he goes in to make
atonement in the holy place, no one
shall be in the tent of meeting until
he comes out, that he may make
atonement for himself and for his
household and for all the assembly
of Israel. (Leviticus 16:17).
17
The Passing of the Goat
Then Aaron shall lay both of his
hands on the head of the live goat,
and confess over it all the iniquities
of the sons of Israel, and all their
transgressions in regard to all their
sins; and he shall lay them on the
head of the goat and send it away
into the wilderness by the hand of a
man who stands in readiness.
(Leviticus 16:21).
21
The Passing of the Goat
And the goat shall bear on itself all
their iniquities to a solitary land; and
he shall release the goat in the
wilderness. (Leviticus 16:22).

Thus Edom refused to
allow Israel to pass
through his territory; so
Israel turned away from
him. (Numbers 20:21)

EDOM
Numbers 21:4-5
Then they set out from Mount Hor
by the way of the Red Sea, to go
around the land of Edom; and the
people became impatient because of
the journey. 5 The people spoke
against God and Moses, “Why have
you brought us up out of Egypt to die
in the wilderness? For there is no food
and no water, and we loathe this
miserable food.”
Numbers 21:6
The LORD sent fiery serpents
among the people and they bit the
people, so that many people of Israel
died.
~ypir"F.h;
~yvix'N>h;
Numbers 21:7
So the people came to Moses
and said, “We have sinned, because
we have spoken against the LORD
and you; intercede with the LORD, that
He may remove the serpents from us.”
And Moses interceded for the people.
Numbers 21:8
Then the LORD said to Moses,
“Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a
standard; and it shall come about, that
everyone who is bitten, when he looks
at it, he will live.”
@r"f';
Numbers 21:9
And Moses made a bronze
serpent and set it on the standard; and
it came about, that if a serpent bit any
man, when he looked to the bronze
serpent, he lived.
As Moses lifted up
the serpent in the
wilderness, even so
must the Son of Man
be lifted up; 15 so that
whoever believes will
in Him have eternal
life. (John 3:14-15)
Numbers 22:1
Then the sons of Israel
journeyed, and camped in the plains
of Moab beyond the Jordan opposite
Jericho.
Numbers 22:2-3
Now Balak the son of Zippor
saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites. 3 So Moab was in great
fear because of the people, for they
were numerous; and Moab was in
dread of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 22:5
So he sent messengers to
Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor,
which is near the River, in the land of
the sons of his people, to call him,
saying, “Behold, a people came out
of Egypt; behold, they cover the
surface of the land, and they are
living opposite me.”

Pethor
Numbers 22:6
“Now, therefore, please come,
curse this people for me since they
are too mighty for me; perhaps I may
be able to defeat them and drive
them out of the land. For I know that
he whom you bless is blessed, and
he whom you curse is cursed.”
I will bless those who bless you, and the one
who curses you I will curse (Genesis 12:3).

The LORD your God will raise
up for you a prophet like me from
among you, from your countrymen,

name, I Myself will require it of him.

risen in Israel like Moses, whom the
LORD knew face to face, 11 for all
the signs and wonders which the

his servants, and all his land, 12 and
for all the mighty power and for all
the great terror which Moses
performed in the sight of all Israel.
