Now it's time to move on to chapter 15!

Shalach: Send Forth-Numbers 15

Read Numbers 15 as an overview.
The beginning of chapter 15 seems to be strangely placed. It's sandwiched between the Twelve spies incident and Korah's rebellion and is almost a transition between the two, trying to tell us, in a way, what should have happened and what was about to happen. Let me explain.

Numbers 14 

NUMBERS 14 

This chapter deals with the power of human emotion and the mistakes men make when they face their fears, then realize their mistake, then try to fix it themselves without the "right hand power of God." The continuation of the story of the twelve spies not only gives us the biblical historical record, but tells us exactly how Yahweh works in given situations, what He desires and how we are supposed to react. So let's continue our study from chapter 13 here in chapter 14.

There is so much in the story about the twelve spies it's almost overwhelming. A small book would have to be written to unpack it all! Let's take it one chapter at a time.
