The document summarizes passages from Numbers 22-25 regarding Balak summoning Balaam to curse the Israelites, but God preventing Balaam from doing so and instead blessing them. It then describes the Israelites engaging in sexual immorality with Moabite women and worshipping the Moabite god Baal, angering God. 24,000 Israelites died from a plague before Phinehas stopped it by killing an Israelite man and the Midianite woman he brought home. The objective is for students to understand that while God guides and protects those he calls, sin leads to consequences by straying from building his kingdom.

BALAK SUMMONS BALAAM
1 Then the people of Israel set out and camped
in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at
Jericho. 2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all
that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And
Moab was in great dread of the people,
because they were many. Moab was overcome
with fear of the people of Israel.

4. NUMBERS 22:4-5 (PG 243)
4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, “This horde will now lick
up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” So
Balak the son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time, 5 sent
messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the
River in the land of the people of Amaw, to call him, saying,
“Behold, a people has come out of Egypt. They cover the face of the
earth, and they are dwelling opposite me.

5. NUMBERS 22:6-8 (PG 243-244)
6 Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me.
Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land, for I
know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for
divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam and gave him Balak's
message. 8 And he said to them, “Lodge here tonight, and I will bring back
word to you, as the Lord speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with
Balaam.

6. NUMBERS 22:9-11 (PG 244)
9 And God came to Balaam and said, “Who are
these men with you?” 10 And Balaam said to God,
“Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to
me, saying, 11 ‘Behold, a people has come out of
Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Now
come, curse them for me. Perhaps I shall be able to
fight against them and drive them out.’”

7. NUMBERS 22:12-14 (PG 244)
12 God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with
them. You shall not curse the people, for they are
blessed.” 13 So Balaam rose in the morning and
said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your own land,
for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.” 14
So the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak and
said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”

8. NUMBERS 24:15-18 (PG 248)
BALAAM'S FINAL ORACLE
15 And he took up his discourse and said,“The oracle of Balaam the
son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened, 16 the
oracle of him who hears the words of God, and knows the
knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty,
falling down with his eyes uncovered: 17 I see him, but not now; I
behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a
scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab
and break down all the sons of Sheth.

10. NUMBERS 25:1-5 (PG 249)
BAAL WORSHIP AT PEOR
1 While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the
daughters of Moab. 2 These invited the people to the sacrifices of their
gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked
himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against
Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and
hang them in the sun before the Lord, that the fierce anger of the Lord may
turn away from Israel.” 5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of
you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”

11. NUMBERS 25:6-9 (PG 249)
6 And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite
woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole
congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the
entrance of the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of
Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear
in his hand 8 and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced
both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the
plague on the people of Israel was stopped. 9 Nevertheless, those who died
by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
