- Where, according to Numbers 33:2, did Moses write the record of this wilderness journey?
- Do Numbers 33:3-4 differ in synopsizing the Exodus from Egypt?
- Is there any reference to the Sea of Reeds disaster for the Egyptians?
- In this synopsis of the “itinerary”, are many of the signal events detailed in earlier text described or alluded to (Marah, Midbar Sinai, Kivrot Hataavah, for example)?
- Yet, in Numbers 33:37-39 there is recall of Aharon’s passing. What would (might) that indicate as to the author’s ranking of “importance?”
- The list of the wilderness travels ends where (Numbers 33:49)?
- What primary charge is Moses instructed to communicate to the Israelites on the “threshold” of Canaan?
- How is the land, when conquered, to be distributed (Numbers 33:54)?
- And, if B’ney Yisrael do not expel (conquer) the dwellers of Canaan—what then (Numbers 33:56)?
