Three Days' Journey to Wilderness of Paran
10:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two (red radius) trumpets of (lunar) silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps..
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the (Gemini) assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the (red radius) door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one (red radius) (lunar) trumpet, then the (Gemini) princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye (red radius) blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 When ye (red radius) blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall (red radius) blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the (Gemini) sons of Aaron, the priests, shall (red radius) blow with the (red radius) (lunar) trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall (red radius) blow an alarm with the (red radius) (lunar) trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the (Shekinah) Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your (Gemini) enemies.
10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your (lunar) months, ye shall (red radius) blow with the (red radius) (lunar) trumpets over your (solar) burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the (Shekinah) Lord your God.
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year (1445 B.C.), that the (Milky Way) cloud was taken up from off the (red radius) tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And the (Gemini) children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the (Milky Way) cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And they first took their journey according to the (red radius) commandment of the (Shekinah) Lord by the hand of (Castor) Moses.
14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the (Gemini) children of Judah according to their armies (Orion's lion?): and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 And the (red radius) tabernacle was taken down; and the (Gemini) sons of Gershon and the (Gemini) sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies (Orion the man?): and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
19 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the (red radius) tabernacle against they came.
22 And the standard of the camp of the (Gemini) children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies (Taurus?): and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts (red radius wings of eagle possibly holding a Serpens or Drago?): and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of the (Gemini) children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeyings of the (Gemini) children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
29 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the (Shekinah) Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the (Shekinah) Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of (lunar eyeballs) eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
33 And they departed from the (red radius) mount of the Lord three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the (Milky Way) cloud of the (Shekinah) Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that (Ophiuchus) Moses said, Rise up, (Shekinah) Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he (red radius) said, Return, O (Shekinah) Lord, unto the many thousands of Israel.
The Unearned Gift of Manna Was Ground,
Beaten, Baked and Unappreciated -- Just Like Our Lord
11:1 And when the (Ophiuchus-Hercules) people (red radius) complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord (lunar ears) heard it; and his (solar) anger was kindled; and the (solar) fire of the (shekinah) Lord burnt among them, and (black zodiac) consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the (Ophiuchus-Hercules) people cried unto (lunar ears) Moses; and when (Ophiuchus) Moses prayed unto the (Shekinah) Lord, the (solar) fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the (solar) fire of the (Shekinah) Lord burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the (Gemini) children of Israel also (glistening star drops rotating) wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Thus evil communication corrupts good manners, 1 Corinthians 15:33; and a little leaven leavens the whole lamp, 1 Corinthians 5:6; wicked men prove great snares to, and do much mischief among good men, when they get into their societies, Jeremiah 5:26,
5 We remember the (Cetus) fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the (lunar) onions, and the (lunar) garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this (lunar) manna, before our (lunar eyeballs) eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
Not "bdellium", but "bdeloah", and is a precious stone, and, according to Bochart, the pearl; so Ben Melech observes, that it is a precious stone; a round white stone, which they bore and join stones together, and make a chain of, he doubtless means a pearl necklace;
8 And the (Gemini) people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in (lunar) mills, or beat it in a (lunar) mortar, and baked it in (lunar) pans, and made (lunar) cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh (solar) oil.
all which may denote the sufferings of Christ, who was beaten, and bruised, and broken, that he might become fit food for faith, Isaiah 53:4,
9 And when the (lunar) dew fell upon the camp in the night, the (lunar white) manna fell upon it.
10 Then (Ophiuchus) Moses (lunar ears) heard the (Gemini) people (glistening star drops rotating) weep throughout their families, every man in the (red radius) door of his tent: and the (solar) anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; (Ophiuchus) Moses also was displeased.
11 And (Ophiuchus) Moses (red radius) said unto the (Shekinah) Lord, Wherefore hast thou (red radius) afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy (lunar eyeballs) sight, that thou layest the burden of all this (Gemini) people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this (Gemini) people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child (Serpens), unto the land which thou swarest unto their (Gemini) fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this (Gemini) people? for they weep unto me, (red radius) saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people (Serpens) alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, (red radius) kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy (lunar eyeballs) sight; and let me not (lunar eyeballs) see my wretchedness.
16 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the (Gemini) elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and (red radius) talk with thee there: and I will take of the (Milky Way) spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the (Serpens) people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And (red radius) say thou unto the (Gemini) people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have (glistening star tear drops rotate) wept in the (lunar) ears of the (Shekinah) Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the (Shekinah) Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your (lunar) nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the (Shekinah) Lord which is among you, and have (glistening star tear drops rotate) wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
until it come out at your nostrils; being vomited up, through a nausea of it, the stomach being overfilled and glutted with it; in which case, it will make its way through the nostrils, as well as out of the mouth:
21 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said, The (Gemini) people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast (red radius) said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the (Aries) flocks and the (Taurus) herds be (Perseus) (red radius) slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the (Cetus) fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the (Shekinah) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Is the (Shekinah) Lord's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And (Ophiuchus) Moses went out, and (red radius) told the (Gemini) people the (red radius) words of the (Shekinah) Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the (Gemini) elders of the people, and set them round about the (red radius) tabernacle.
25 And the (Shekinah) Lord came down in a (Milky Way) cloud, and (red radius) spake unto him, and took of the (Milky Way) spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the (Milky Way) spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the (Gemini) men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad (Castor), and the name of the other Medad (Pollux): and the (Milky Way) spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the (red radius) tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a (Perseus) young man, and told (Ophiuchus) Moses, and said, (Castor) Eldad and (Pollux) Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And (Hercules) Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of (Ophiuchus) Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord (Ophiuchus) Moses, forbid them.
29 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord's people were (Gemini) prophets, and that the (Shekinah) Lord would put his (Milky Way) spirit upon them!
30 And (Ophiuchus) Moses gat him into the camp, he and the (Gemini) elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a (Milky Way) wind from the (Shekinah) Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side (150°), and as it were a day's journey on the other side (150°), round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
Quails, in some countries, have been taken in great numbers; in Italy, on the coast of Antium, within a month, in the space of five miles, 100,000 quails were taken every day ( Blond. ltal. Illustrat. p. 314. apud Huet. Alnetan. Quaest. l. 2. c. 12. sect. 17.):
"He also rained meat on them like the dust, feathered fowl like the sand of the seas; and He let them fall in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings. So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them their own desire. They were not deprived of their craving; but while their food was still in their mouths, the wrath of God came against them, and slew the stoutest of them, and struck down the choice men of Israel" (Psalm 78:27-31)
"They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert. And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul" (Psalm 106:13-15)
Exodus 16:13 says, "And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host."
At even the quails came - selav, from salah, to be quiet, easy, or secure; and hence the quail, from their remarkably living at ease and plenty among the corn. "An amazing number of these birds," says Hasselquist, Travels, p. 209, "come to Egypt at this time, (March), for in this month the wheat ripens. They conceal themselves among the corn, but the Egyptians know that they are thieves, and when they imagine the field to be full of them they spread a net over the corn and make a noise, by which the birds, being frightened, and endeavoring to rise, are caught in the net in great numbers, and make a most delicate and agreeable dish." The Abb Pluche tells us, in his Histoire du Ciel, that the quail was among the ancient Egyptians the emblem of safety and security. "Several learned men, particularly the famous Ludolf, Bishop Patrick, and Scheuchzer, have supposed that the selavim eaten by the Israelites were locusts. But not to insist on other arguments against this interpretation, they are expressly called sheer, flesh, Psalm 78:27, which surely locusts are not; and the Hebrew word is constantly rendered by the Septuagint ορτυγομητρα, a large kind of quail, and by the Vulgate coturnices, quails. Compare The Wisdom of Solomon 16:2, 19:12; Numbers 11:31, Numbers 11:32; Psalm 105:40; and on Numbers 11 observe that keamathayim should be rendered, not two cubits high, but as Mr. Bate translates it, 'two cubits distant, (i.e., one from the other), for quails do not settle like the locusts one upon another, but at small distances.' And had the quails lain for a day's journey round the camp, to the great height of two cubits, upwards of three feet, the people could not have been employed two days and a night in gathering them. The spreading them round the camp was in order to dry them in the burning sands for use, which is still practiced in Egypt."
The difficulties which encumber the text, supposing these to be quails, led some scholars to imagine them to be locusts. The difficulties are three: "1. Their coming by a wind. 2. Their immense quantities, covering a circle of thirty or forty miles, two cubits thick. 3. Their being spread in the sun for drying, which would have been preposterous had they been quails, for it would have made them corrupt the sooner; but this is the principal way of preparing locusts to keep for a month or more, when they are boiled or otherwise dressed." This difficulty he thinks interpreters pass over, who suppose quails to be intended in the text.
Mr. Harmer takes up the subject, removes the difficulties, and vindicates the common version.
"These difficulties appear pressing, or at least the two last; nevertheless, I have met with several passages in books of travels, which I shall here give an account of, that they may soften them; perhaps my reader may think they do more.
To dry them in the burning sands in order to preserve them for use similar to drying fish in the sun of Egypt. Other authors speak of the Arabs drying camel's flesh in the sun and wind, which, though it be not at all salted, will if kept dry remain good a long while, and which oftentimes, to save themselves the trouble of dressing, they will eat raw. This drying then of flesh in the sun is not so preposterous as imagined
Their immense quantities also forbid believing they were quails; and in truth he represents this difficulty in all its force, perhaps too forcibly. A circle of forty miles in diameter, all covered with quails to the depth of more than forty-three inches, without doubt is a startling representation of this matter: and I would add that the like quantity of locusts would have been very extraordinary: but then this is not the representation of Scripture; it does not even agree with it; for such a quantity of either quails or locusts would have made the clearing of places for spreading them out, and the passing of Israel up and down in the neighborhood of the camp, very fatiguing, which is not supposed"
Josephus supposed they were quails, which he says are in greater numbers thereabouts than any other kinds of birds; and that, having crossed the sea to the camp of Israel, they who in common fly nearer the ground than most other birds, flew so low through the fatigue of their passage as to be within reach of the Israelites. This explains what he thought was meant by the two cubits from the face of the earth - their flying within three or four feet of the ground.
"And when I read Dr. Shaw's account of the way in which the Arabs frequently catch birds that they have tired, that is, by running in upon them and knocking them down with their zerwattys, or bludgeons, as we should call them, I think I almost see the Israelites before me pursuing the poor, fatigued, and languid quails.
"Bishop Patrick supposes a day's journey to be sixteen or twenty miles, and thence draws his circle with a radius of that length; but Dr. Shaw, on another occasion, makes a day's journey but ten miles, which would make a circle but of twenty miles in diameter: and as the text evidently designs to express it very indeterminately, as it were a day's journey, it might be much less.
"But it does not appear to me at all necessary to suppose the text intended their covering a circular or nearly a circular spot of ground, but only that these creatures appeared on both sides of the camp of Israel, about a day's journey. The same word is used Exodus 7:24, where round about can mean only on each side of the Nile.
So large a quantity as ten omers is only affirmed of those expert sportsmen among the people, who pursued the game two whole days and a whole night without intermission; and of them, and of them only, I presume it is to be understood that he that gathered fewest gathered ten omers. A red partridge may be the bird intended.
This event happened toward the end of April , it being on the 23rd day of the second month, which answers to our April, that the Israelites encamped in the Wilderness of Paran; and it was about the same time in the preceeding year that God relieved the Israelites in the same manner, by sending quails to them when they were in the Wilderness of Sin, where they had arrived on the 15th day of the second month (Ex. 16:1,13).
32 And the (Gemini) people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
Not homer but chomer or chor which was one hundred times as much as an homer. For a bath or an ephah was a tenth part of a chomer (Ez. 45:11, 14) and a homer was only the tenth part of an ephah or bath (Ex. 16:36). The Hebrew word is salav. What does it mean? Not quails but locusts, which are allowed by Moses (Lev. 11:22), because 1. the wind brought them 2. they were gathered in chomers and 3. they were spread out in the sun to dry
. All three expressions agree better with locusts than quails. Furthermore, in Wisdom 16:2 we read that "God prepared meat of a strange taste ... to stir up their appetite, to the end that they desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them, loath even that which they must needs desire" which by no means agrees with quails but agrees very well with locusts.
33 And while the (red radius) flesh was yet between their (Drago) (lunar) teeth, ere it was chewed, the (solar) wrath of the (Shekinah) Lord was kindled against the (Gemini) people, and the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) smote the (Gemini) people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the (Gemini) people that lusted.
"the graves of lust"; murmurers and complainers, walking after their own lusts, Jude 1:16
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
Miriam Spoke Against Moses
For Marrying an Ethiopian Woman
12:1 And (Drago) Miriam and (Cetus) Aaron (red radius) spake against (Ophiuchus) Moses because of the Ethiopian (black Virgo) woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian (black Virgo) woman.
2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed (red radius) spoken only by (Ophiuchus) Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the (Shekinah) Lord (lunar ears) heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake suddenly unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, and unto (Cetus) Aaron, and unto (Drago) Miriam, Come out ye three unto the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
5 And the (Shekinah) Lord came down in the (Milky Way) pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the (red radius) tabernacle, and called (Cetus) Aaron and (Drago) Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, (lunar ears) Hear now my (red radius) words: If there be a prophet among you, I the (Shekinah) Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant (Ophiuchus) Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine (red radius) house.
8 With him will I speak (lunar) mouth to (lunar) mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold (Ophiuchus-Hercules): wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant (Ophiuchus) Moses?
9 And the (solar) anger of the (Shekinah) Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the (Milky Way) cloud departed from off the (red radius) tabernacle; and, behold, (Pollux) Miriam became (lunar) leprous, white as snow: and (Castor) Aaron (lunar eyeballs) looked upon (Pollux) Miriam, and, behold, she was (lunar) leprous.
11 And (Hercules) Aaron said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he (Pollux) cometh out of his mother's (lunar) womb.
13 And (Ophiuchus) Moses (red radius) cried unto the (Shekinah) Lord, saying, Heal her now, O (Shekinah) God, I beseech thee.
14 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, If her (Ophiuchus) father had but (lunar) (red radius) spit in her (Cetus or Drago or Big Dog) face, should she not be (red radius) (Big Dog, Cetus or Drago) ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days (Cetus or Big Dog), and after that let her be received in again.
15 And (Cetus, Big Dog) Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the (Gemini) people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the (Gemini) people removed from Hazeroth, and (red radius) pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
"The Giants (Hercules & Ophiuchus)
Saw Us (Gemini) As (Scorpio) Grasshoppers"
13:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
2 Send thou (Gemini) men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the (Gemini) children of Israel: of every tribe of their (Gemini) fathers shall ye send a man, every one a (Cepheus) ruler among them.
"Is there, said he, a chief so greatly brave,
His life to hazard and his country save?
Lives there a man who singly dares to go
To yonder camp, or seize some straggling foe?
Or, favored by the night, approach so near
Their speech, their counsels, and designs to hear?" -- Homer's Iliad 10:241-246
3 And (Ophiuchus) Moses by the (red radius) commandment of the (Shekinah) Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those (Gemini) men were heads of the (Gemini) children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the (Gemini) men which (Ophiuchus) Moses sent to (lunar eyeballs) spy out the land. And (Ophiuchus) Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And (Ophiuchus) Moses sent them to (lunar eyeballs) spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is, and the (Gemini) people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in (red radius) tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe (lunar and solar) grapes.
21 So they went up, and (lunar eyeballs) searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as (Gemini) men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where (Ophiuchus) Ahiman, (Hercules) Sheshai, and (Cepheus) Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the (Eridanus) brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a (red radius) branch with one (lunar) cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two (Castor & Pollux) upon a (red radius) staff; and they brought of the (lunar) pomegranates, and of the (solar) figs.
24 The place was called the (Eridanus) brook Eshcol, because of the (lunar) cluster of grapes which the (Gemini) children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to (Ophiuchus) Moses, and to (Hercules) Aaron, and to all the congregation of the (Gemini) children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the (solar and lunar) fruit of the land.
Kadesh here is same as Kadesh-Barnea (Deut. 2:14)
.
27 And they (red radius) told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with (lunar) milk and (solar) honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are (Milky Way) walled, and very great: and moreover we (lunar eyeballs) saw the children of Anak there (Hercules and Ophiuchus).
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And (Hercules) Caleb stilled the people before (Ophiuchus) Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the (Hercules and Ophiuchus) men that went up with him (red radius forked tongue) said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil (red radius forked tongue) report of the land which they had searched unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are (Hercules and Ophiuchus) men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the (Hercules & Ophiuchus) giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we (Gemini) were in our own (lunar eyeballs) sight as (Scorpio) grasshoppers, and so we were in their (lunar eyeballs) sight.
"A Day For A Year"
14:1 And all the (Cetus, Big Dog, Drago) congregation lifted up their (red radius) voice, and (glistening star tear drops time-lapse rotating down) cried; and the (Gemini) people wept that night.
2 And all the (Cetus, Big Dog, Drago) children of Israel (red radius) murmured against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
3 And wherefore hath the (Shekinah) Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the (Perseus) sword, that our (Gemini) wives and our (Gemini) children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one (Cetus) to another (Big Dog), Let us make a (Cepheus) captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Then (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron fell on their faces (rotated) before all the assembly of the congregation of the (Gemini) children of Israel.
6 And (Castor) Joshua the son of Nun, and (Pollux) Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, (red radius) rent their (lunar) clothes:
7 And they (Ophiuchus & Hercules) (red radius) spake unto all the company of the (Gemini) children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 If the (Shekinah) Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which (red radius) floweth with (lunar) milk and (solar) honey.
9 Only rebel not ye against the (Shekinah) Lord, neither fear ye the (Ophiuchus & Hercules) people of the land; for they are (solar golden) bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the (Shekinah) Lord is with us: fear them not.
10 But all the (Perseus, Cepheus, Gemini) congregation bade (lunar) stone them with (lunar) stones. And the (solar) glory of the Lord appeared in the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation before all the (Gemini) children of Israel.
11 And the (Shekinah) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the (zodiac & miraculous) signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I will smite them with the (red radius) pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto the (Shekinah) Lord, Then the (Gemini) Egyptians shall (lunar ears) hear it, (for thou broughtest up this [Gemini] people in thy might from among them;)
14 And they (Cetus and Big Dog) will (red radius) tell it to the (Gemini) inhabitants of this land: for they have (lunar ears) heard that thou (Shekinah) Lord art among this (Gemini) people, that thou (Shekinah) Lord art seen (Ophiuchus) face to (Hercules) face, and that thy (Milky Way) cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a (Milky Way) pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of (solar) fire by night.
15 Now if thou shalt (Perseus) kill all this (Gemini) people as one man, then the nations which have (lunar ears) heard the fame of thee will (red radius) speak, saying,
16 Because the (Shekinah) Lord was not able to bring this (Gemini) people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath (Perseus) (red radius) slain them in the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 The (Shekinah) Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the (Gemini) fathers upon the (Gemini) children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this (Gemini) people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this (Gemini) people, from Egypt even until now.
20 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the (Shekinah) glory of the Lord.
22 Because all those (Gemini) men which have (lunar eyes) seen my (Shekinah) glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not (lunar ears) hearkened to my (red radius) voice;
23 Surely they shall not (lunar eyes) see the land which I sware unto their (Gemini) fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me (lunar eyes) see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and unto (Hercules) Aaron, saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil (Cetus, Big Dog) congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the (Cetus, Big Dog) children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the (Shekinah) Lord, as ye have spoken in mine (lunar) ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your (Cetus, Big Dog) carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save (Castor) Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and (Pollux) Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little (Gemini) ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
32 But as for you, your (Cetus, Big Dog) carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your (Gemini) children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
35 I the (Shekinah) Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 And the (Gemini) men, which (Ophiuchus) Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the (Cetus, Big Dog) congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
37 Even those (Gemini) men that did bring up the (red radius forked tongue) evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the (Shekinah) Lord.
38 But (Castor) Joshua the son of Nun, and (Pollux) Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
39 And (Ophiuchus) Moses told these sayings unto all the (Gemini) children of Israel: and the (Gemini) people mourned greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the (sun on red radius horizon) morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
41 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the (red radius) commandment of the (Shekinah) Lord? but it shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for the (Shekinah) Lord is not among you; that ye be not (Perseus) smitten before your (Cetus, Big Dog) enemies.
43 For the (Gemini) Amalekites and the (Gemini) Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the (Perseus) (red radius) sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the (Shekinah) Lord will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and (Ophiuchus) Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Then the (Gemini) Amalekites came down, and the (Gemini) Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and (Hercules) smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
