VIII. FURTHER STUDY
1. Study carefully the Nazirite vow of
chapter 6. Study similar vows in the Bible.
Refer to Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias
for help.
2. The real key to the successful conquest
of Canaan and happy living within its
borders was continual fellowship with God.
Hence, it was that God at this time, by way
of Moses, presented to the new generation a
nalized and complete set of regulations for
o erings, most of which had already been
given at Sinai. Their observance would
encourage an intimate worship of God by
the people in the land (cf. Exod 23:14-17;
29:38-42; 31:12-17; Lev 23; Num 25:1-12).
You may want to study these laws of
offerings in chapters 28-30.


3. Read the commentaries of authors who
reject the two million gure of Israel’s
population during the wilderness journeys.
Evaluate the arguments advanced.
