Treasury of Scripture And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Jump to Previous Further Moses SpeakethJump to Next Further Moses SpeakethNumbers 10 1. The use of the silver trumpets11. The Israelites move from Sinai to Paran 14. The order of their march 29. Hobab is entreated by Moses not to leave them 33. The blessing of Moses at the removing and resting of the ark Then the LORD said to Moses, This phrase indicates direct communication from God to Moses, a common occurrence in the Pentateuch, highlighting Moses' unique role as a prophet and leader of Israel. The LORD, represented by the tetragrammaton YHWH, emphasizes the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. This divine communication underscores the theocratic nature of Israel's leadership, where God directly guides His people through chosen leaders. Moses, as the mediator of the Old Covenant, prefigures Christ, the mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 3:1-6). This direct revelation is foundational for the instructions that follow, which are crucial for the organization and movement of the Israelite camp. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness. In this context, He is the divine authority giving instructions to Moses. 2. Moses The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and guide them through the wilderness. Moses serves as the mediator between God and the Israelites. 3. The Israelites The chosen people of God, who are in the wilderness journeying towards the Promised Land. They are the recipients of God's instructions through Moses. 4. The Wilderness The setting where the Israelites are currently journeying. It represents both a physical and spiritual journey of dependence on God. 5. The Tabernacle Although not directly mentioned in this verse, it is the central place of worship and the focal point of God's presence among His people during their journey. Teaching Points Divine CommunicationGod speaks to His people through chosen leaders. In our lives, we should seek to hear God's voice through Scripture, prayer, and the guidance of spiritual leaders. Obedience to God's Instructions Just as Moses received and relayed God's instructions, we are called to be obedient to God's Word. This requires attentiveness and a willingness to act according to His will. Leadership and Responsibility Moses' role highlights the responsibility of leaders to faithfully communicate God's message. Those in leadership positions should seek wisdom and guidance from God to lead effectively. God's Faithfulness The LORD's continued communication with Moses demonstrates His faithfulness to His covenant people. We can trust in God's faithfulness in our own lives, knowing He is always present and guiding us. Community and Worship The context of the Israelites' journey reminds us of the importance of community and worship in our spiritual journey. We should prioritize gathering with fellow believers and maintaining a focus on worship.Verse 1. - And the Lord spake. The command to make the silver trumpets is introduced here, because one principal use of them was connected with the order of march. It does not necessarily, follow that the command was actually given exactly at this time, or that all the different directions for use formed part of one communication. They may have been gathered together for convenience sake. See the Introduction on this subject. It is, however, a mistake to suppose that this use of trumpets has been anticipated in Leviticus 25:9, or elsewhere, for the "trumpets" there mentioned were altogether different in shape, as in material.
