Numbers 23:19 - "God is not a human being, and he will not lie. He is not a human, and he does not change his mind. What he says he will do, he does. What he promises, he makes come true."
Balak wasn't successful in putting a curse on the Israelites so he (evidently using Balaam's suggestion) tried to destroy them from the inside out. The Israelite men began to sin sexually with the Moabite women and they began to worship Baal, the god of prosperity. God was very angry. The LORD told them to deal with and get rid of the sin. While they were crying out to the LORD a man defiantly brought a Moabite woman to his tent in plain sight of Moses and the people. Phineas saw it, took his spear, and killed them both. When Phineas confronted and dealt with the sin the sickness that killed 24,000 stopped.
Next Entry: Numbers 26:1 – 30:16
