Bible Question (short): questions on Numbers 5 |
Question (full): Questions on Numbers 5:5-8 Chapters 1 through 4 described numbers of Israelite army and the preist tribe (Levi) and their responsibilities in taking care of the Tabernacle. When I get to chapter 5, the flow looks pretty strange that it seems not belonging there especially v5-8. (V11-31 could be understandable there since I surmise that it is in consideration of future battles that the Israelite men face that they might need to leave their wives behind when going to the battle field thus leaving the opportunity for the unfaithful wives disloyalty) In V5, what does it mean by "commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the LORD" If that sin was an act unfaithful against the Lord, then why that restitution be made to the one whom wronged? and why to the relative in V8? From the penalty described, it looks like a civil law issue, if so, this passage is rather odd to be appeared in this chapter while the preceding and succeeding ones are describing other different things. Your help is much appreciated. Shalom Azure |
