Deuteronomy 2:14 And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the LORD had sworn to them.

How long was Israel wandering in the wilderness?
Some might say, well, it was, it was 40 years. It was, but it’s always important as you read Scripture to pay attention to the details of Scripture. Israel did wander in the wilderness 40 years from the time they left Egypt until the time they entered the Promised Land. But there period of, if we were technical, wandering, was 38 years.
Notice Deuteronomy chapter two verse 14 and the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn to them. Pay attention to the details of scripture.

Deuteronomy 2:5 Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.

And now, Admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Deuteronomy chapter two verse five, Moses is rehearsing the events of Israel, leaving their wandering in the wilderness and beginning to head towards the promised land, and notice what he says as they’re going through the land of their brethren, Esau. He says, Do not meddle with them. For I will not give you any of their land. No, not so much as one footstep. God is telling them, This doesn’t belong to you. Just because God said you’re my people. Just because God said, I’ve prepared a land for you. Just because God said I have an inheritance for you. Didn’t mean they could do whatever they wanted to. Respect what belongs to others. Respect what doesn’t belong to you. Don’t meddle in other’s affairs.

Deuteronomy 1:43 “So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the command of the LORD, and presumptuously went up into the mountain.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
In Deuteronomy chapter one, verse 43 we read this, So I spoke to you, yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the command of the Lord and presumptuously went up into the mountain. There are a number of times in scripture where we read about someone sinning presumptuously we read about it here with Israel. We read about it with the individual who on the Sabbath Day went and picked up sticks. This idea is someone who knows, they’ve been told specifically by God, don’t do something and then they go and do it anyway. But they don’t just do it, they do it as it were, shaking their fist at God, saying, you can’t tell me what to do. Don’t live this way. Don’t sin presumptuously, there’s a severe judgment that comes as a result.

Deuteronomy 1:41 “Then you answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against the LORD; we will go up and fight, just as the LORD our God commanded us.’ And when everyone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the mountain. 42 “And the LORD said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; lest you be defeated before your enemies.”‘ 43 “So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the command of the LORD, and presumptuously went up into the mountain.

Deuteronomy chapter one verse 42, And the Lord said to me, tell them, do not go up nor fight for I am not among you, lest you be defeated before your enemies. Moses tells Israel, Don’t go up. Don’t go into the land. Don’t try and take the land. God’s not with you. And they didn’t listen. They wouldn’t listen when God said, don’t do this. As you and I look at our lives and we look at the commandments of the New Testament, do we see things that the Bible says Don’t do this that we’re doing? Are we heeding the commandments of the Lord?
Deuteronomy 1:41 “Then you answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against the LORD; we will go up and fight, just as the LORD our God commanded us.’ And when everyone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the mountain.

Then you answered, this is Moses speaking to Israel, the second generation about the first generation that came out of Egypt. He said, then that first generation answered and said, we have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight just as the Lord our God commanded us.
This sounds good. This sounds like they’re being obedient. The problem is God’s already said, you’re not going in the land because you refuse to go into the promised land. You will wander in the wilderness for 40 years. So while it sounds like they’re saying we’re going to obey the command of the Lord, it’s not actually that way. They’re still saying, we’re going to do it our way on our timetable. That’s not obedience. We need to be those who obey God when he tells us to do something and we need to do it the way He told us to do it.
Deuteronomy 1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Deuteronomy chapter one verse 13 we read, Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among the tribes, and I will make them heads over you. This is a command to Moses from God saying you pick out individuals from among Israel to be their leaders, to be their judges. This goes back to Exodus 18 where Jethro gives him this advice. The point is, these are the kind of people you’re looking for as a leader. If your job is to find leaders, find this kind of wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men.
The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
In Deuteronomy chapter one verse six, we read, The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb saying, you have dwelt long enough at this mountain. God’s message to Israel is, you’ve come here, you’ve received the law, you’ve seen my presence, you’ve heard my voice, but you’ve been at Sinai long enough. It’s time to move on.
Sometimes we find ourselves in similar situations. It may be a week out at Bible camp. It may be a week at a lectureship. It may be a weak at something like polishing the pulpit where you come and you just feel like, I just want to stay here. I just want to live here. I want it to be like this every day!
But it’s not supposed to be. Some days you have to leave and go out and do the work. God has set for you to do.
