Numbers 12 – 14
I doubt I’ll ever have an answer to why Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses or why only Miriam became leprous. Perhaps she led Aaron in being jealous of Moses.
I had not realized that Joshua was given a different name at birth, Oshea, and Moses renamed him when Joshua came to serve him.
Of the men who searched the land from each tribe, only the man of Judah, Caleb, and the man of Ephraim, Joshua, had faith in the Lord as they reported on the land. The people wished they could die in the wilderness rather than fight the people of the land so the Lord granted their wish. Only Caleb and Joshua of all the men over twenty years old would live to see the nod of fourth years in the wilderness.
