Numbers (Adults)
Numbers Chapter 5
Lesson written by Brian Andrews
Chapter 5
Check your reading:
- Who was to be sent outside the camp from vv.1-3?
- What was to be done when a person commits sin
against another?
- What scenarios
would a man bring his wife to the priest
(vv.11-15)?
- Describe the “fidelity test”. What was the result if guilty? If innocent?
Class discussion:
- God shows in v.6 that when his people sinned
against each other they were acting
unfaithfully towards him. Is this characteristic of God continued in
the new covenant?
- A husband’s jealousy and a wife’s infidelity are
not issues unique to time of Numbers and to
the Israelite nation. Marital jealousy and infidelity are sins
present in every society and
every time. What is the best method to discover and
handle these issues under the new
covenant?
