The One Year Bible

Day 65

Balak hires Balaam to curse Israel, but God intervenes. Balaam’s donkey speaks to warn him, and despite Balak’s persistence, Balaam blesses Israel instead. He prophesies their future victory, confirming God’s protection and blessing over His people.

Day 64

Purification laws are given. Moses disobeys God, losing his right to enter the Promised Land. Aaron dies, and Eleazar becomes high priest. Israel faces opposition, defeats Arad, and complains again, leading to fiery serpents. God provides healing through a bronze serpent as they press toward Canaan.

Day 63

Korah leads a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, but God swiftly judges him and his followers as the earth swallows them. A plague strikes, but Aaron’s intercession stops it. To confirm His chosen priesthood, God makes Aaron’s staff bud. Further laws establish the Levites’ duties and their portion from Israel’s offerings, reinforcing their sacred role.

Day 62

Israel’s fear leads to rebellion, bringing a 40-year sentence of wandering. A failed attempt to enter the land ends in defeat. God reaffirms His covenant with laws for future worship, a stark warning against disobedience, and a command to wear tassels as a reminder of His commands.

Day 61

Israel departs Sinai, but complaints arise, leading to both provision and judgment. Seventy elders assist Moses, and Miriam is disciplined for opposing him. Twelve spies scout the land; ten spread fear, while Caleb and Joshua stand firm in faith, testing Israel’s trust in God.
