Sinopsis

The LORD commands His people to bring His vengeance upon the idolatry of Midian, by which Midian had led Israel into idolatry. Zealous Phineas, who previously has stopped the idolatrous worship, leads Israel in this battle, serving as a reminder that the LORD is the One who fights and wins for His people. Israel puts to death the five kings of Midian and the false prophet Balaam; eventually, they fulfill the LORD’s command completely after an angry reminder from Moses. When the Israelite commanders count their men after the battle, none of the soldiers are missing. This account highlights the reality that idolatry leads only to death and faith in the LORD leads only to life.  Rev.
