B’ha’alotkha “When you set up” Pt. 6: Numbers 10:35-11:29
Yahveh places part of His Spirit given to Moshe (the Ruach haKodesh, Holy Spirit) on 70 elders, 2 of which did not come to the Tent of Meeting. When Moshe was warned, he said, “I wish all of Adonai’s people were prophets. I wish Yahveh would put His Spirit on all of them!”
We are called to live by the Spirit, discern by the Spirit, read by the Spirit, interpret by the Spirit; with knowledge and integrity, but letting the Spirit guide us into truth. When Israel interpreted the Word without the Spirit, they went astray (aka Pharisees). Only Yahveh can bring full understanding of His Word to our hearts, minds, and spirits.
So prayerfully ask Yahveh to explain His Word, and do not rely on tradition, and “do not lean on your own (or someone else’s) understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
