Numbers 20: Where Do I Start?

Thirty-nine years of wandering are over. The last year begins—but the tragic story of sin in the wilderness is far from over. Now we read and meditate on death, quarrelling against Moses and Aaron, complaining, the sin of Moses and Aaron, their punishment, rejection by Edom, God’s view of rebellion, the death of Aaron, and the mourning of the whole assembly. Some people never learn. Let me learn, O Lord, not to become a person who cannot learn.
