SPIRITUAL BATTLES
12,000 men of Israel marched out in battle to take vengeance on the Midianites. "Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signalling." At the end of the day Israel came back victorious, not having lost one man in the battles they had fought.
This was not a battle between men, but it was God's battle and God cannot loose. We are left wondering, though, what articles from the sanctuary that Phinehas took into battle with him. It may have been the ark, incense or censors. Perhaps it was the water of cleansing or the Urim and the Thummim, but whatever he took, the fact that he took articles from the sanctuary leaves us in no doubt that it was not a physical battle they were to fight, but a spiritual battle, and because they treated it as a spiritual battle - God's battle, they won decisively!
We all face battles. They may be decisions we need to make, problems we face, people we have to deal with or a multitude of other things, but as we face these battles we need to take with us articles from the sanctuary. For us they are prayer, the word of the Living God within us, and faith. Make every battle a spiritual battle and we can't loose!

Before Moses died, God asked him to organise the battle against the Midianites. This was probably a very hard thing for Moses, because he had married Zipporah, the daughter of the priest of Midian. He had also lived in their land for 40 years. But Midian was a descendant of Abraham's wife Keturah (Gen 25:2), and therefore would never be a part of God's blessing on Israel. Moses did not go to the battle,
but stayed in the camp with Eleazar the priest.

V.13 Moses and Eleazar would have gone forth without the camp to congratulate the warriors, another reason for going without the camp would have been to avoid the defilement of the camp by the warriors, who would have been stained with blood.

The Midianites originated from Abraham and Keturah (Gen 25:2). They are sometimes called Ishmaelites such as the group that took Joseph to Egypt (Gen 37:28). The Midianites and the Ishmaelites were, of course, related, Abraham/Keturah = Midian; Abraham/Hagar = Ishmael. The Ishmaelites were bigger and more powerful than the Midianites, and so, at some point, the Midianites, plus some other smaller groups, were associated with the Ishmaelites .
It is somewhat ironic that when Moses fled for his life from Egypt that he went to Midian. He married the daughter of Jethro, the priest of Midian. It must be noted, though, that Jethro and a certain smaller segment of the Midianites, called Kenites, worshipped the God of Israel. In fact, Jethro’s progeny were among those who entered the Promised Land (Judg 4:11).

This total judgement on the Midianites coming, as it did as a result of the efforts of Balaam, finds a New Testament reflection in Paul's teaching in 1Cor 3:12. In this case we are to be rigorous in our seeking out of true materials with which to build. Note that Paul also maintains language that is judgemental 1Cor 3:13 "... for the day shall declare it".

15. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto them, Have ye saved <2421>(8765) all the women <5347> alive <2421>(8765)?

Behold, these <2007> caused <1961>(8804) the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, through the counsel <1697> of Balaam <1109>, to commit <4560>(8800) trespass <4604> against the LORD <3068> in the matter <1697> of Peor <6465>, and there was a plague <4046> among the congregation <5712> of the LORD <3068>.

19. And do ye abide <2583>(8798) without <2351> the camp <4264> seven <7651> days <3117>: whosoever hath killed <2026>(8802) any person <5315>, and whosoever hath touched <5060>(8802) any slain <2491>, purify <2398>(8691) both yourselves and your captives <7628> on the third <7992> day <3117>, and on the seventh <7637> day <3117>.

22. Only the gold <2091>, and the silver <3701>, the brass <5178>, the iron <1270>, the tin <913>, and the lead <5777>,
23. Every thing <1697> that may abide <935>(8799) the fire <784>, ye shall make it go through <5674>(8686) the fire <784>, and it shall be clean <2891>(8804): nevertheless it shall be purified <2398>(8691) with the water <4325> of separation <5079>: and all that abideth <935>(8799) not the fire <784> ye shall make go through <5674>(8686) the water <4325>.
24. And ye shall wash <3526>(8765) your clothes <899> on the seventh <7637> day <3117>, and ye shall be clean <2891>(8804), and afterward <310> ye shall come <935>(8799) into the camp <4264>.

27. And divide <2673> <0> the prey <4455> into two parts <2673>(8804); between them that took <8610>(8802) the war <4421> upon them, who went out <3318>(8802) to battle <6635>, and between all the congregation <5712>:
28. And levy <7311>(8689) a tribute <4371> unto the LORD <3068> of the men <582> of war <4421> which went out <3318>(8802) to battle <6635>: one <259> soul <5315> of five <2568> hundred <3967>, both of the persons <120>, and of the beeves <1241>, and of the asses <2543>, and of the sheep <6629>:

42. And of the children <1121> of Israel's <3478> half <4276>, which Moses <4872> divided <2673>(8804) from the men <582> that warred <6633>(8802),
43. (Now the half <4275> that pertained unto the congregation <5712> was three <7969> hundred <3967> thousand <505> and thirty <7970> thousand <505> and seven <7651> thousand <505> and five <2568> hundred <3967> sheep <4480> <6629>,

48. And the officers <6485>(8803) which were over thousands <505> of the host <6635>, the captains <8269> of thousands <505>, and captains <8269> of hundreds <3967>, came near <7126>(8799) unto Moses <4872>:
49. And they said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Thy servants <5650> have taken <5375>(8804) the sum <7218> of the men <582> of war <4421> which are under our charge <3027>, and there lacketh <6485>(8738) not one man <376> of us.
50. We have therefore brought <7126>(8686) an oblation <7133> for the LORD <3068>, what every man <376> hath gotten <4672>(8804), of jewels <3627> of gold <2091>, chains <685>, and bracelets <6781>, rings <2885>, earrings <5694>, and tablets <3558>, to make an atonement <3722>(8763) for our souls <5315> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.
51. And Moses <4872> and Eleazar <499> the priest <3548> took <3947>(8799) the gold <2091> of them, even all wrought <4639> jewels <3627>.
52. And all the gold <2091> of the offering <8641> that they offered up <7311>(8689) to the LORD <3068>, of the captains <8269> of thousands <505>, and of the captains <8269> of hundreds <3967>, was sixteen <8337> <6240> thousand <505> seven <7651> hundred <3967> and fifty <2572> shekels <8255>.
53. (For the men <582> of war <6635> had taken spoil <962>(8804), every man <376> for himself.)
54. And Moses <4872> and Eleazar <499> the priest <3548> took <3947>(8799) the gold <2091> of the captains <8269> of thousands <505> and of hundreds <3967>, and brought <935>(8686) it into the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, for a memorial <2146> for the children <1121> of Israel <3478> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.

"REMOVE NOT THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS" - Proverbs 22:28
A landmark then is something to designate or establish a boundary to make known and preserve that boundary. I believe at the very beginning of mankind, that God placed some landmarks to designate boundaries.(Both natural and in spiritual boundaries) The purpose of these landmarks or boundaries was to preserve and protect man from destroying himself and causing pain and suffering. And twice in His Word he warns us not to remove them.
The chief aim of the lesson is to reject any secret fraud one may perpetuate, yet there is a spiritual lesson in this as well. Many churches today are moving the landmarks of true doctrine and practice at an unprecedented rate to "tickle the ears" of the listeners - by telling them what they want to hear to keep them coming back to the church and it's coffers.
But this manipulative movement of ancient apostolic landmarks governing churches is severely condemned in the Bible. Paul described this situation, when Christians turn from sound doctrine and truth to fables and inventions, as "perilous times" and warned Timothy about them (II Tim 3:1 – 4:4)
Are we a defender of the ancient landmarks and God's truths? We need to "earnestly contend for the faith" in these last days, so that true faith may be found at the returning of our Lord to the earth (Jude 1:3).

15. Foolishness <200> is bound <7194>(8803) in the heart <3820> of a child <5288>; but the rod <7626> of correction <4148> shall drive it far <7368>(8686) from him.

20. Have not I written <3789>(8804) to thee <8032> excellent things <7991> in counsels <4156> and knowledge <1847>,
21. That I might make thee know <3045>(8687) the certainty <7189> of the words <561> of truth <571>; that thou mightest answer <7725>(8687) the words <561> of truth <571> to them that send <7971>(8802) unto thee?
22. Rob <1497>(8799) not the poor <1800>, because he is poor <1800>: neither oppress <1792>(8762) the afflicted <6041> in the gate <8179>:
23. For the LORD <3068> will plead <7378>(8799) their cause <7379>, and spoil <6906>(8804) the soul <5315> of those that spoiled <6906>(8802) them.
24. Make no friendship <7462>(8691) with an angry <639> man <1167>; and with a furious <2534> man <376> thou shalt not go <935>(8799):
25. Lest thou learn <502>(8799) his ways <734>, and get <3947>(8804) a snare <4170> to thy soul <5315>.
26. Be not thou one of them that strike <8628>(8802) hands <3709>, or of them that are sureties <6148>(8802) for debts <4859>.
27. If thou hast nothing to pay <7999>(8763), why should he take away <3947>(8799) thy bed <4904> from under thee?
28. Remove <5253>(8686) not the ancient <5769> landmark <1366>, which thy fathers <1> have set <6213>(8804).
29. Seest <2372>(8804) thou a man <376> diligent <4106> in his business <4399>? he shall stand <3320>(8691) before <6440> kings <4428>; he shall not stand <3320>(8691) before <6440> mean <2823> men.

4:5 - Why is Joseph mentioned here?
There is a daughter about to be made for the family of Abraham to increase the divine name by the "increaser"(Joseph). The converted Samaritans called Jesus the "Saviour of the world"(vs 42) which is what Pharaoh called Joseph(Gen 41:45-Zaphnath-paaneah).

Having had 5 previous husbands does not make the woman at the well promiscuous. Death and/or divorce (by either party) are also valid options for separation.

1. When <5613> therefore <3767> the Lord <2962> knew <1097>(5627) how <3754> the Pharisees <5330> had heard <191>(5656) that <3754> Jesus <2424> made <4160>(5719) and <2532> baptized <907>(5719) more <4119> disciples <3101> than <2228> John <2491>,
2. (Though <2544> Jesus <2424> himself <846> baptized <907>(5707) not <3756>, but <235> his <846> disciples <3101>,)
3. He left <863>(5656) Judaea <2449>, and <2532> departed <565>(5627) again <3825> into <1519> Galilee <1056>.
4. And <1161> he must needs <1163>(5713) go <1330>(5738) through <1223> Samaria <4540>.
5. Then <3767> cometh he <2064>(5736) to <1519> a city <4172> of Samaria <4540>, which is called <3004>(5746) Sychar <4965>, near <4139> to the parcel of ground <5564> that Jacob <2384> gave <1325>(5656) to his <848> son <5207> Joseph <2501>.
6. Now <1161> Jacob's <2384> well <4077> was <2258>(5713) there <1563>. Jesus <2424> therefore <3767>, being wearied <2872>(5761) with <1537> his journey <3597>, sat <2516>(5711) thus <3779> on <1909> the well <4077>: and it was <2258>(5713) about <5616> the sixth <1623> hour <5610>.
7. There cometh <2064>(5736) a woman <1135> of <1537> Samaria <4540> to draw <501>(5658) water <5204>: Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, Give <1325>(5628) me <3427> to drink <4095>(5629).
8. (For <1063> his <846> disciples <3101> were gone away <565>(5715) unto <1519> the city <4172> to <2443> buy <59>(5661) meat <5160>.)
9. Then <3767> saith <3004>(5719) the woman <1135> of Samaria <4542> unto him <846>, How is it that <4459> thou <4771>, being <5607>(5752) a Jew <2453>, askest <154>(5719) drink <4095>(5629) of <3844> me <1700>, which am <5607>(5752) a woman <1135> of Samaria <4542>? for <1063> the Jews <2453> have <4798> <0> no <3756> dealings <4798>(5736) with the Samaritans <4541>.
10. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto her <846>, If <1487> thou knewest <1492>(5715) the gift <1431> of God <2316>, and <2532> who <5101> it is <2076>(5748) that saith <3004>(5723) to thee <4671>, Give <1325>(5628) me <3427> to drink <4095>(5629); thou <4771> wouldest <302> have asked <154>(5656) of him <846>, and <2532> he would <302> have given <1325>(5656) thee <4671> living <2198>(5723) water <5204>.
11. The woman <1135> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Sir <2962>, thou hast <2192>(5719) nothing <3777> to draw with <502>, and <2532> the well <5421> is <2076>(5748) deep <901>: from whence <4159> then <3767> hast thou <2192>(5719) that living <2198>(5723) water <5204>?
12. <3361> Art <1488>(5748) thou <4771> greater <3187> than our <2257> father <3962> Jacob <2384>, which <3739> gave <1325>(5656) us <2254> the well <5421>, and <2532> drank <4095>(5627) thereof <1537> <846> himself <846>, and <2532> his <846> children <5207>, and <2532> his <846> cattle <2353>?
13. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto her <846>, Whosoever <3956> drinketh <4095>(5723) of <1537> this <5127> water <5204> shall thirst <1372>(5692) again <3825>:
14. But <1161> whosoever <3739> <302> drinketh <4095>(5632) of <1537> the water <5204> that <3739> I <1473> shall give <1325>(5692) him <846> shall <1372> <0> never <1519> <165> <3364> thirst <1372>(5661); but <235> the water <5204> that <3739> I shall give <1325>(5692) him <846> shall be <1096>(5695) in <1722> him <846> a well <4077> of water <5204> springing up <242>(5740) into <1519> everlasting <166> life <2222>.
15. The woman <1135> saith <3004>(5719) unto <4314> him <846>, Sir <2962>, give <1325>(5628) me <3427> this <5124> water <5204>, that <3363> <0> I thirst <1372>(5725) not <3363>, neither <3366> come <2064>(5741) hither <1759> to draw <501>(5721).
16. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, Go <5217>(5720), call <5455>(5657) thy <4675> husband <435>, and <2532> come <2064>(5628) hither <1759>.
17. The woman <1135> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627), I have <2192>(5719) no <3756> husband <435>. Jesus <2424> said <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, Thou hast <2036> <0> well <2573> said <2036>(5627), <3754> I have <2192>(5719) no <3756> husband <435>:
18. For <1063> thou hast had <2192>(5627) five <4002> husbands <435>; and <2532> he whom <3739> thou <2192> <0> now <3568> hast <2192>(5719) is <2076>(5748) not <3756> thy <4675> husband <435>: in that <5124> saidst thou <2046>(5758) truly <227>.
19. The woman <1135> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Sir <2962>, I perceive <2334>(5719) that <3754> thou <4771> art <1488>(5748) a prophet <4396>.
20. Our <2257> fathers <3962> worshipped <4352>(5656) in <1722> this <5129> mountain <3735>; and <2532> ye <5210> say <3004>(5719), that <3754> in <1722> Jerusalem <2414> is <2076>(5748) the place <5117> where <3699> men ought <1163>(5748) to worship <4352>(5721).
21. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, Woman <1135>, believe <4100>(5657) me <3427>, the hour <5610> cometh <3754> <2064>(5736), when <3753> ye shall <4352> <0> neither <3777> in <1722> this <5129> mountain <3735>, nor yet <3777> at <1722> Jerusalem <2414>, worship <4352>(5692) the Father <3962>.
22. Ye <5210> worship <4352>(5719) ye know <1492>(5758) not <3756> what <3739>: we know <1492>(5758) what <3739> we <2249> worship <4352>(5719): for <3754> salvation <4991> is <2076>(5748) of <1537> the Jews <2453>.
23. But <235> the hour <5610> cometh <2064>(5736), and <2532> now <3568> is <2076>(5748), when <3753> the true <228> worshippers <4353> shall worship <4352>(5692) the Father <3962> in <1722> spirit <4151> and <2532> in truth <225>: for <2532> <1063> the Father <3962> seeketh <2212>(5719) such <5108> to worship <4352>(5723) him <846>.
24. God <2316> is a Spirit <4151>: and <2532> they that worship <4352>(5723) him <846> must <1163>(5748) worship <4352>(5721) him in <1722> spirit <4151> and <2532> in truth <225>.
25. The woman <1135> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, I know <1492>(5758) that <3754> Messias <3323> cometh <2064>(5736), which <3588> is called <3004>(5746) Christ <5547>: when <3752> he <1565> is come <2064>(5632), he will tell <312>(5692) us <2254> all things <3956>.
26. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, I <1473> that speak <2980>(5723) unto thee <4671> am <1510>(5748) he.
27. And <2532> upon <1909> this <5129> came <2064>(5627) his <846> disciples <3101>, and <2532> marvelled <2296>(5656) that <3754> he talked <2980>(5707) with <3326> the woman <1135>: yet <3305> no man <3762> said <2036>(5627), What <5101> seekest thou <2212>(5719)? or <2228>, Why <5101> talkest thou <2980>(5719) with <3326> her <846>?
28. The woman <1135> then <3767> left <863>(5656) her <848> waterpot <5201>, and <2532> went her way <565>(5627) into <1519> the city <4172>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) to the men <444>,
29. Come <1205>(5773), see <1492>(5628) a man <444>, which <3739> told <2036>(5627) me <3427> all things <3956> that ever <3745> I did <4160>(5656): is <2076>(5748) not <3385> this <3778> the Christ <5547>?
30. Then <3767> they went <1831>(5627) out of <1537> the city <4172>, and <2532> came <2064>(5711) unto <4314> him <846>.
31. <1161> In <1722> the mean <3342> while his <846> disciples <3101> prayed <2065>(5707) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Master <4461>, eat <5315>(5628).
32. But <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, I <1473> have <2192>(5719) meat <1035> to eat <5315>(5629) that <3739> ye <5210> know <1492> <0> not <3756> of <1492>(5758).
33. Therefore <3767> said <3004>(5707) the disciples <3101> one to another <4314> <240>, Hath <5342> <0> any man <5100> <3387> brought <5342>(5656) him <846> ought to eat <5315>(5629)?
34. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, My <1699> meat <1033> is <2076>(5748) to <2443> do <4160>(5725) the will <2307> of him that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>, and <2532> to finish <5048>(5661) his <846> work <2041>.
35. Say <3004>(5719) not <3756> ye <5210>, There <3754> are <2076>(5748) yet <2089> four months <5072>, and <2532> then cometh <2064>(5736) harvest <2326>? behold <2400>(5628), I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, Lift up <1869>(5657) your <5216> eyes <3788>, and <2532> look on <2300>(5663) the fields <5561>; for <3754> they are <1526>(5748) white <3022> already <2235> to <4314> harvest <2326>.
36. And <2532> he that reapeth <2325>(5723) receiveth <2983>(5719) wages <3408>, and <2532> gathereth <4863>(5719) fruit <2590> unto <1519> life <2222> eternal <166>: that <2443> both <2532> he that soweth <4687>(5723) and <2532> he that reapeth <2325>(5723) may rejoice <5463>(5725) together <3674>.
37. And <1063> herein <1722> <5129> is <2076>(5748) that saying <3056> true <228>, <3754> One <243> soweth <2076>(5748) <4687>(5723), and <2532> another <243> reapeth <2325>(5723).
38. I <1473> sent <649>(5656) you <5209> to reap <2325>(5721) that whereon <3739> ye <5210> bestowed <2872> <0> no <3756> labour <2872>(5758): other men <243> laboured <2872>(5758), and <2532> ye <5210> are entered <1525>(5754) into <1519> their <846> labours <2873>.
39. And <1161> many <4183> of the Samaritans <4541> of <1537> that <1565> city <4172> believed <4100>(5656) on <1519> him <846> for <1223> the saying <3056> of the woman <1135>, which testified <3140>(5723), <3754> He told <2036>(5627) me <3427> all <3956> that ever <3745> I did <4160>(5656).
40. So <3767> when <5613> the Samaritans <4541> were come <2064>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, they besought <2065>(5707) him <846> that he would tarry <3306>(5658) with <3844> them <846>: and <2532> he abode <3306>(5656) there <1563> two <1417> days <2250>.
41. And <2532> many <4183> more <4119> believed <4100>(5656) because <1223> of his own <846> word <3056>;
42. And <5037> said <3004>(5707) unto the woman <1135>, <3754> Now <3765> we believe <4100>(5719), not <3754> because <1223> of thy <4674> saying <2981>: for <1063> we have heard <191>(5754) him ourselves <846>, and <2532> know <1492>(5758) that <3754> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) indeed <230> the Christ <5547>, the Saviour <4990> of the world <2889>.
43. Now <1161> after <3326> two <1417> days <2250> he departed <565>(5627) <1831>(5627) thence <1564>, and <2532> went into <1519> Galilee <1056>.
44. For <1063> Jesus <2424> himself <846> testified <3140>(5656), that <3754> a prophet <4396> hath <2192>(5719) no <3756> honour <5092> in <1722> his own <2398> country <3968>.
45. Then <3767> when <3753> he was come <2064>(5627) into <1519> Galilee <1056>, the Galilaeans <1057> received <1209>(5662) him <846>, having seen <3708>(5761) all the things <3956> that <3739> he did <4160>(5656) at <1722> Jerusalem <2414> at <1722> the feast <1859>: for <1063> they <846> also <2532> went <2064>(5627) unto <1519> the feast <1859>.
46. So <3767> Jesus <2424> came <2064>(5627) again <3825> into <1519> Cana <2580> of Galilee <1056>, where <3699> he made <4160>(5656) the water <5204> wine <3631>. And <2532> there was <2258>(5713) a certain <5100> nobleman <937>, whose <3739> son <5207> was sick <770>(5707) at <1722> Capernaum <2584>.
47. When he <3778> heard <191>(5660) that <3754> Jesus <2424> was come <2240>(5719) out of <1537> Judaea <2449> into <1519> Galilee <1056>, he went <565>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, and <2532> besought <2065>(5707) him <846> that <2443> he would come down <2597>(5632), and <2532> heal <2390>(5667) his <846> son <5207>: for <1063> he was at the point <3195>(5707) of death <599>(5721).
48. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> unto <4314> him <846>, Except <3362> ye see <1492>(5632) signs <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059>, ye will <4100> <0> not <3364> believe <4100>(5661).
49. The nobleman <937> saith <3004>(5719) unto <4314> him <846>, Sir <2962>, come down <2597>(5628) ere <4250> my <3450> child <3813> die <599>(5629).
50. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Go thy way <4198>(5737); thy <4675> son <5207> liveth <2198>(5719). And <2532> the man <444> believed <4100>(5656) the word <3056> that <3739> Jesus <2424> had spoken <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, and <2532> he went his way <4198>(5711).
51. And <1161> as he was now <2235> going down <2597>(5723), his <846> servants <1401> met <528>(5656) him <846>, and <2532> told <518>(5656) him, saying <3004>(5723), <3754> Thy <4675> son <3816> liveth <2198>(5719).
52. Then <3767> enquired he <4441>(5633) of <3844> them <846> the hour <5610> when <1722> <3739> he began <2192>(5627) to amend <2866>. And <2532> they said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, <3754> Yesterday <5504> at the seventh <1442> hour <5610> the fever <4446> left <863>(5656) him <846>.
53. So <3767> the father <3962> knew <1097>(5627) that <3754> it was at <1722> the same <1565> hour <5610>, in <1722> the which <3739> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, <3754> Thy <4675> son <5207> liveth <2198>(5719): and <2532> himself <846> believed <4100>(5656), and <2532> his <846> whole <3650> house <3614>.
54. This <5124> is again <3825> the second <1208> miracle <4592> that Jesus <2424> did <4160>(5656), when he was come out <2064>(5631) of <1537> Judaea <2449> into <1519> Galilee <1056>.
