Numbers 15 · Grade 4

Remembering God's Commands

Name Date

Read and Think

Numbers 15 opens with hope. Just after God said the unbelieving generation would die in the wilderness, He gave laws for when they would come into the land. God's plan for His people had not ended. He also said the foreigner living among them would have the same law, showing that God welcomed outsiders who joined His people.

God provided offerings for sins done by mistake, both for the whole community and for individuals. But a person who sinned defiantly, despising Yahweh's word, would be cut off. Soon after, a man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath, and God commanded that he be put to death. This sad event showed how seriously God treated open rebellion.

Then God gave a gentle reminder. The people were to wear fringes with a blue cord on the corners of their garments. Seeing the tassels, they would remember to obey and be holy to their God, rather than follow their own desires.
