4. Moses agrees to their terms, and warns them against defrauding the Lord (Num. 32:20-32).

Numbers Chapter Thirty-Three

1. Most of chapter 33 is a travelogue of Israel’s exodus and wilderness wanderings (Num. 33:1-49). This chapter is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the Faithlife Study Bible either with linked panels or with the multiple resources display.
2. The conclusion to the chapter is the Lord’s solemn warning to utterly destroy the Canaanites (Num. 33:50-56).
