民數記第九課：以色列人在曠野末期：民數記二十六章至三十六章
以色列人在曠野流浪四十年之時，大部分原來離開埃及的人都死了。民數記最後幾章的記載包括他們的孩子準備要進入應許之地。摩西年老，他的任務快做到底了；約書亞要做摩西的繼承人。以色列民族對神的信心不堅固——一時遵守他的誡命，一時違背他。以色列民族的未來光明嗎？他們有希望嗎？
一。民數記26章：第二次人口普查：當第一次人口普查，以色列人（除了利未人以外）總數多少人（民數記1:46）？第二次呢（民數記26章）？民數記26:63-65：神已說了什麼話，在此應驗了？
二。民數記27章：西羅非哈的女兒：民數記27:1-11：西羅非哈的女兒問摩西什麼問題？摩西不知道答案，所以摩西又問誰？答案是什麼？從此可知，在以色列人“重男輕女”的社會，神還是關心___性。（注意：請別忘記西羅非哈的女兒；他們還要出現幾次。）民數記27:12-23：誰被選為摩西的繼承人？是___的兒子___ ___ ___。他被誰揀選的？22節：約書亞為什麼要站在祭司的面前而接受按手之禮？
三。民數記28至30章：以色列人的節日：請列出以色列人的幾個不同的節日，如下：民數記28章：1-8節：每___。9-10節：每___ ___ ___。11-15節：每___。16-25節：每年一次的___ ___節，又叫做___ ___節。26-31節：___ ___節，又叫做五旬節。
民數記29章：1-6節：___ ___的日子，又叫做吹號節。7-11節：最重要的及神聖的節日，___ ___日。當天，猶太人都要“刻苦___心”（就是___食的意思）。12-38節：___ ___節。
民數記30章：2節：“人若向耶和華許___或起誓，要約束___ ___，就不可食言，必要按口中所出的一切話___”。
四。民數記31章：給米甸人回報：神吩咐摩西和以色列人攻擊米甸人。請述說詳細的情況。8節：他們用刀殺死了哪個人？48-54節：他們把一些值錢的東西貢獻給___ ___ ___。
五。民數記32章：三個支派，呂便，迦得和瑪拿西（瑪拿西的半支派），向摩西有什麼要求？摩西答不答應他們？摩西向他們要求什麼，才答應他們？民數記32:23是民數記最有名的金句之一；請背誦。“倘若你們不這樣行，就得___耶和華，要知道你們的___必___上你們”。（普通話本翻譯如下：“但是，如果你們違背諾言，你們就得罪了主，必定要為此承受罪罰”。）
六。民數記33章：沿途紮營的地方：以色列人從埃及出來後，他們所行的路程都在誰的帶領之下？事實上，不是摩西和亞倫，乃是___。民數記33:50-56：“50 耶和華在摩押平原約旦河邊___ ___ ___對面曉諭摩西說： 51 “你吩咐以色列人說：’你們過___ ___ ___進迦南地的時候， 52 就要從你們面前___出那裡所有的居民，___ ___他們一切鏨成的石像，和他們一切鑄成的___ ___，又拆毀他們一切的___ ___。 53 你們要奪那地，住在其中，因我把那地___ ___你們為業。 54 你們要按家室拈鬮，承受那地。人多的，要把產業___ ___給他們；人少的，要把產業___ ___給他們。拈出何地給何人，就要歸何人。你們要按宗族的支派承受。 55 倘若你們___ ___出那地的居民，所容留的居民，就必作你們眼中的刺，肋下的___ ___，也必在你們所住的地上擾___你們。 56 而且我素常有意怎樣待___ ___，也必照樣待___ ___。'”。
七。 民數記34章：請用地圖指出以色列人在迦南地的境界。
八。民數記35章：逃城：以色列人將要設立六座“逃城”。“逃城”是什麼？
九。民數記36章：以色列民族還有希望！我們在民數記二十七章已經認識西羅非哈的女兒。現在他們前來詢問摩西什麼問題？神藉着摩西的口說些什麼呢？西羅非哈的女兒聽從這新的規條沒？NIV Study Bible 請我們注意：民數記最後片段歷史記載五位女子既關心他們爸爸的產業又尊敬神的誡命。雖然，以色列人大眾時常違背神，不尊敬摩西，讓摩押女子引誘他們犯姦淫罪敬拜邪神，但是西羅非哈的女兒感恩，尊敬摩西，順服上帝，準備進入迦南地。以色列民族還有希望！

Num. 33:50-56: “50 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from J______ the LORD said to Moses, 51 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the J______ into Canaan, 52 d____ out all the inhabitants of the land before you.

Moses answers according to God’s word; what does he say? Did Zelophehad’s daughters obey this new regulation? The NIV Study Bible notes that the book of Numbers ends with these five women who are concerned about their father’s inheritance and about God’s commandments. Although a great number of Israelites often disobey God, fail to respect Moses, are enticed by Moabite women to engage in immoral behavior and sacrifice to false gods, the daughters of Zelophehad, however, are thankful to the Lord, respect Moses, obey God and are prepared to enter Canaan. There is still hope for the Israelites!
