Christianity EtcRe: I Read This Disturbing Passage In Numbers And I Can't Stop Thinking About It. by MightySparrow: 4:42pm On Mar 03, 2025
ThatWriterBoy:
Hello everyone!
Do you remember I planned to read through the Bible this year? Well, I got bogged down in Leviticus and early Numbers but I'm back now and working hard to meet the goal.

Yesterday I read this disturbing passage in Numbers 31. After the Midianite women seduced the Israelites and they started worshipping their idols, God sent a plague that killed thousands of people until Phineas, the son of Aaron, killed one of the men and women while they were having sex.

Later on, God, through Moses, commanded the Israelites to kill everybody in Midian. Utterly destroy them. But the Israelites kept some women and children alive. When they got back to the camp, Moses was angry. He made them kill all the male children and the women who were not virgins. They kept the women who were virgins for themselves, and some were given to the Lord.

So these are my questions;
1. Wasn't Moses somehow related to the Midianites? His father-in-law Jethro was a Midianite. His wife Zipporah was a Midianite. Didn't he have family there he cared about when giving the instruction to totally wipe them out? In fact, the Bible mentions his brother-in-law Hoban in Numbers 10:29. Moses begged him to stay with them, but he decided to return to Midian to stay with his family. Was he killed too? That's wild to me.

2. I understand why God would ask them to wipe out the entire tribe and all, and I even get why they had to kill the male children too. But why did they have to share the female virgins amongst themselves? In fact, in Numbers 31:28-40, it talked about the Lord's share of which included 32 virgin girls. I thought only Levites were permitted to serve in the temple (correct me if I'm wrong) so why ?

3. I'm not comfortable with the whole genocide and all. I get it, but it's disturbing. Or maybe I'm just reading an ancient book with my 21st century mind. But then people would say the word of God remains constant. So how is it OK for the Israelites to own slaves, and even commit genocide back in the BC era and it's an abomination in the 21st century?

I'm not an atheist. I believe God is good. I'm just trying to understand. Thank you very much for your time.
I will respond soon


Please continue to read the Bible. Until you go through about 7 to 10 times, you will begin to see the message. You will discover that occurrence, even names, numbers have hidden truths.

No be to make noise about fabricated IGR and you can't fund a project without borrowing, come to Anambra state and see massive projects going on across the state despite the fact the governor is yet to borrow a kobo from anywhere,, Gov Soludo has so far reduced Anambra state debt by 58% from 2023-2024, recruited 8115 teachers and 1350 medical personnel, declared free education from primary to secondary, free antenatal care and child delivery across government hospitals in the state, empowered thousands of youths

If God is everywhere, why was he not in the wind earthquake and fire according to 1 kings 19:11, 12.

If you claim that Solomon was unsure of God's dwelling place, you can tell us the dwelling place of God.

was Solomon not sure or he was contradicting himself?
I think you are a potato.
That is Solomon's opinion not God's

Jer.23.24 - Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.


Who is the One talking here?

If you are sure that God is everywhere and are not unsure as the writer, you can tell us the dwelling place of God.

He doesn't want to. Simple.

I simply asked you.

If God is everywhere, why was he not in the wind earthquake and fire?

If God is everywhere, Explain Solomon's words in 1 kings 8:27, 30.
I already answered your question, if not satisfied, tell us the answer you expect.
1Kgs.8.27 - But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; much less this house that I have builded?
1Kgs.8.30 - And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

There is nothing to explain here. The writer was not sure of God's place. Heaven of HEAVENS cannot contain Him. Heaven His dwelling place. So what is your point?

Explain Solomon's words in 1 kings 8:27, 30.
SO you can decide where God can be or God takes orders from you?


Besides, what is the relevance of the reference you qouted, to be going to a none existent Temple to seek God?
