Pinchas “Phinehas” Pt 2: Numbers (B’Midbar) 26:5-51
A new census is taken as Israel prepares to enter the Land, of “those 20 tears and older who came out of Egypt”. However, all who were counted in the first census in Numbers 1, were dead.
But those who remained had truly come out of Egypt in a way their ancestors had not. They were no longer part of the Egypt mindset, they were a new people, and so they were truly “out of Egypt”.
So are we, when we leave the ways of the world for the ways of God (Yahveh) and receive new life through Yeshua. Our old nature, like the first generation, dies; our new nature, like the new generation, lives and enters the promise. So, let’s let the old nature in us truly die, so we may truly have left the dominion of sin and death, and enter the dominion of shalom and life.
