This week's portion is called Mattot – Massei (Tribes – Journeys) TORAH PORTION: Numbers 32:1–19 GOSPEL PORTION: John 18:1–18 What verse spoke to you most today and why? Did you learn something…
The territory the Lord conquered before the community of Israel are suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
Then they said, If we have found favor in your eyes, let this territory be given to your servants as a possession.
Don't make us cross the Jordan.
The anger of the Lord was aroused on that day, and he swore an oath, saying, The men who came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, will not see the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they have not followed after me with a whole heart.
The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he caused them to wander in the wilderness forty years until all the generation doing that evil in the Lord's sight was gone.
Now look, here you stand in the place of your fathers as a brood of sinful men to add more to the Lord's great wrath against Israel.
If you turn away from him, he will repeat again, leaving his people in the wilderness, you being the cause of this people's destruction.
Then they came up to him and said, We will build sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our children.
But we are prepared to arm ourselves and go ahead of Bnei Israel until we have brought them to their place.
Our children will live in the cities fortified against the inhabitants of the land.
We will not return to our homes until each one of Bnei Israel has received his inheritance.
Yet we will not inherit with them on the side beyond the Jordan, since our inheritance has come on the east side of the Jordan.
That was Numbers 32, verse 1 to 19.
