Today's reading from Numbers 21-22
The Back to the Bible Chronological Reading Plan
In Numbers 21, Arad a city of Canaan was destroyed by the Iraelites. This chapter spoke about the bronze snake. The Israelites complained and spoke against God and Moses. God sent them some venomous snake among them, and the snakes bit them and they died. The people came to Moses and said that the sinned because they spoke against the Lord and Moses. So Moses prayed to the Lord. The Lord told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole, anyone who looked at it would be saved. And when it did it anyone who looked at the bronze snake was saved. Jesus said in John 3.14-15 that as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert so the Son of Man was lifted that evryone who believes in him have eternal life. This was a part of the conversation with Nicodemus leading up to John 3.16.

In Numbers 22, the Israelites had arrived at the plains of Moab, the end of the journey before they would enter into Canaan. Balak, king of Moab, was terrified of the Israelites, because he saw what they did to the Amorites. He summoned Balaam. He thought since he could not defeat Israel militarily, he would use divination against them by paying for the services of Balaam. God came to Balaam in the night and asked who these men were, he said Balak, told him to put a curse on the Israelites. God told him not. God intervened by having Balaam's donkey speaking to him.
