Numbers chapter 16 Star Chart: Clockwise from when Korah, Dathan and Abiram "gathered themselves together against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron, and (lunar open mouths) (red radius) said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?" (16:3) till "the earth opened her (lunar waxing) mouth, and swallowed" (Perseus) Korah, (Castor) Dathan and (Pollux) Abiram "up (lunar waning), and their (red radius) houses, and all the (Gemini) men that appertained unto (Perseus) Korah, and all their goods" (16:32) is 360° later -- "even tomorrow" (16:5,7,16) -- 24 hours later. Numbers chapter 17-18 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "(Ophiuchus) Moses spake unto the (Perseus & Gemini) children of Israel, and every one of their (Cepheus) princes gave him a (red radius) rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' (red radius) houses, even twelve rods (360° x 4 = 12 red radius rods): and the (red radius) rod of (Hercules) Aaron was among their rods. And (Ophiuchus) Moses laid up the (red radius) rods before the (Shekinah) Lord in the (red radius) tabernacle of witness" (17:6-7) (1440°) till "it came to pass, that on the (sun on red radius horizon) morrow (Ophiuchus) Moses went into the (red radius) tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the (red radius) rod of (Hercules) Aaron for the house of Levi was (lunar) budded (at 150°), and brought forth (lunar) buds (at 210° = 60 seconds?), and bloomed (lunar) blossoms (+360° = 6 minutes more?), and yielded (lunar) almonds (+360° = 6 minutes more?). And (Ophiuchus) Moses brought out all the (red radius) rods from before the (Shekinah) Lord unto all the (Gemini) children of Israel (+360° = 6 minutes more?) : and they (lunar eyeballs) looked, and (Castor) took every man his (red radius) rod (+360° = 6 minutes more?). And the (Shekinah) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Bring (Hercules) Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their (lunar open mouths) murmurings from me, that they die not" (17:7-10)(+360° = 6 minutes more?) is a total of about 24 hours later. The almond tree has its name, in Hebrew, from a word which signifies haste and vigilance; it being, as Pliny says (Nat. Hist. l. 16. c. 25.), the first of trees that buds and blossoms, and is very hasty in putting them forth. An almond tree rod may be a proper emblem of Christ's speedy incarnation in the fulness of time; and Aaron's almond tree rod, of his right to the priesthood, and his vigilance in it: this was first a dry rod or stick, and may design the mean descent and appearance of Christ, being born of mean parents, living a mean and obscure life; his entrance on his public ministry, and continuance in it, were without any pomp or grandeur; he was as a root out of a dry ground; and though he did many miracles, these were treated with contempt; and he was at last apprehended, arraigned, and condemned as a malefactor, and died a shameful and an accursed death: it looked very unlikely and unpromising, that he should be the King Messiah; that he should have all power in heaven and in earth; that he should have the wisdom he had, and do the miracles he did; and that he should be the author of eternal salvation; and that such fruits of grace, peace, pardon, and righteousness, should spring from him, as that Aaron's dry rod should bud, blossom, and bear almonds, in which it was a lively figure of Christ; that lying among other rods, and perhaps being like them, may denote Christ's assuming the common nature of men, or an individual of human nature in all things like to man: and this being cut off from the tree, and being a dry stick, may represent the death of Christ; and its budding and blossoming may point at the resurrection of Christ from the dead; and as Aaron's priesthood was confirmed by the budding and blossoming of his rod, so the deity and Messiahship of Christ are confirmed by his resurrection; and its bringing forth almonds may design the fruits of Christ's death and resurrection; and moreover, the almond tree being, as Philo the Jew says (De Vita Mosis, l. 3. p. 681.) the first of trees that buds and blossoms in the spring, and the last that casts its leaves, it may be, as he observes, a symbol of the priestly tribe; and it may be a figure of the perpetuity of Christ, and his priesthood. He is a "righteous branch" (Jer. 23:5; Isa. 11:1; Zech. 3:8; 6:12) Numbers chapter 19 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "a (Perseus) man (red radius) dieth in a (red radius) tent: all that come into the tent (Gemini), and all that is in the tent (Auriga, Orion etc.), shall be unclean seven days. And every (lunar or solar) open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. And whosoever (Castor) toucheth one that is (red radius) slain with a (Perseus) sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a (Milky Way) bone of a man, or a (lunar) grave, shall be unclean seven days" (19:14-16) (360° x 7). "And for an unclean person they shall take of the (lunar) ashes of the (solar) burnt (Taurus) (red radius) heifer of purification for sin, and (Eridanus) running water shall be put thereto in a (lunar) vessel: And a clean person shall take (Milky Way) hyssop (soap), and dip it in the (lunar) water, and (red radius) sprinkle it upon the (red radius) tent, and upon all the (lunar and solar) vessels, and upon the (Gemini) persons that were there, and upon him that touched a (Milky Way) bone, or one (Perseus) (red radius) slain, or one (Auriga) dead, or a (lunar) grave: And the clean person shall (red radius) sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and (Eridanus) wash his (lunar) clothes, and (Eridanus) bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at (sun on red radius horizon) even" (19:17-19). (360° x 7) Numbers 19 mentions the "water of ... purification" (19:9) used to wash any person who had touched "a dead body" (Nu. 19:16). The ingredients were "cedar wood, and hyssop and scarlet" (Num. 19:6) burned up with a red heifer to produce ashes (19:9). To obtain lye, water is poured through ashes to concentrate it into a cleaning agent. Hyssop contains carvacrol which is antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial. Cedar oil is an antifungal insecticide. Wool fibers (scarlet wool -- Heb. 9:19) would provide the abrasive. This "water of ... purification" is therefore a recipe for ANTISEPTIC, LYE SOAP. Numbers chapter 20 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "(Ophiuchus) Moses took the (red radius) rod from before the (Shekinah) Lord, as he commanded him" (20:9) till "(Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron gathered the (Gemini) congregation together before the (lunar) rock (210° seconds?), and he (red radius) said unto them, (lunar ears) Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you (lunar) water out of this (lunar) rock?" (20:10)(+150° seconds?) may be 360° seconds. "And Moses lifted up his (Perseus & Castor) hand, and with his (red radius) rod he smote the (lunar) rock twice (+210° seconds?): and the (Milky Way) water came out abundantly, and the (Gemini) congregation drank, and their (Aries & Taurus) beasts also" (20:11) (+300° seconds?) may be 510° seconds more. "And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the (Lunar) eyes of the (Gemini) children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them" (20:12) may be 210 seconds more. Notice that a giant red forked tongue comes forth from Drago (or Ophiuchus & Aaron) during this incident.

Separate Yourselves From Among These Wicked Men

16:1 Now (Perseus) Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and (Castor) Dathan and (Pollux) Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and (Cepheus) On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

2 And they rose up (rotated) before Moses, with certain of the (Gemini) children of Israel, two hundred and fifty (Cepheus) princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

3 And they gathered themselves together against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron, and (lunar open mouths) said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?

4 And when (Ophiuchus) Moses (lunar ears) heard it, he fell upon his face (rotated):

5 And he spake unto (Perseus) Korah and unto all his (Gemini) company, saying, Even to morrow the (Shekinah) Lord will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

6 This do; Take you (lunar or solar) censers, (Perseus) Korah, and all his (Gemini) company;

7 And put (solar) fire therein, and put (red radius) incense in them before the (Shekinah) Lord to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the (Shekinah) Lord doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye (Perseus & Gemini) sons of Levi.

8 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto (Perseus) Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye (Perseus & Gemini) sons of Levi:

9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the (red radius) tabernacle of the (Shekinah) Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the (Gemini) sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the (Shekinah) Lord: and what is (Hercules) Aaron, that ye (lunar open mouths) murmur against him?

12 And (Ophiuchus) Moses sent to call (Castor) Dathan and (Pollux) Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which (lunar open mouth) said, We will not come up:

13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with (lunar) milk and (solar) honey, to (Perseus) kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a (Cepheus) prince over us?

14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that (red radius) floweth with (lunar) milk and (solar) honey, or given us inheritance of (red radius) fields and (red radius) vineyards: wilt thou put out the (lunar eyeballs) eyes of these (Gemini) men? we will not come up.

15 And (Ophiuchus) Moses was very wroth, and said unto the (Shekinah) Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one (Aries) ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

16 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto (Perseus) Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the (Shekinah) Lord, thou, and they, and (Hercules) Aaron, to morrow:

17 And take every man his (lunar) censer, and put (red radius) incense in them, and bring ye before the (Shekinah) Lord every man his (lunar) censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and (Hercules) Aaron, each of you his (lunar) censer.

18 And they took every man his (lunar) censer, and put (solar) fire in them, and laid (red radius) incense thereon, and stood in the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation with (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron.

19 And (Perseus) Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation: and the (solar) glory of the (Shekinah) Lord appeared unto all the congregation.

20 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and unto (Hercules) Aaron, saying,

21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

22 And they fell upon their faces (rotated), and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

23 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the (red radius) tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25 And (Ophiuchus) Moses rose up and went unto (Castor) Dathan and (Pollux) Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the (red radius) tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

27 So they gat up from the (red radius) tabernacle of (Perseus) Korah, (Castor) Dathan, and (Pollux) Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their (red radius) tents, and their (Gemini) wives, and their (Gemini) sons, and their little (Gemini) children.

28 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the (Shekinah) Lord hath not sent me.

30 But if the (Shekinah) Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her (lunar) mouth, and swallow them up (wane), with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the (lunar) pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the (Shekinah) Lord.

31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground (red radius) clave asunder that was under them:

32 And the earth opened her (lunar) mouth, and swallowed them up (waned), and their (red radius) houses, and all the (Gemini) men that appertained unto (Perseus) Korah, and all their goods.

33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the (lunar) pit, and the earth closed upon them (moon waned): and they perished from among the congregation.

34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth (lunar) swallow us up also.

35 And there came out a (solar) fire from the (Shekinah) Lord, and (red radius) consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered (red radius) incense.

36 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

37 Speak unto (Hercules) Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the (lunar) censers out of the (solar) burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

38 The (lunar) censers of these (Perseus & Gemini) sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad (lunar) plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the (Shekinah) Lord, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a (zodiac) sign unto the (Gemini) children of Israel.

39 And (Hercules) Eleazar the priest took the brasen (lunar) censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad (lunar) plates for a covering of the altar:

40 To be a memorial unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the (lunar) seed of (Hercules) Aaron, come near to offer (red radius) incense before the (Shekinah) Lord; that he be not as (Perseus) Korah, and as his (Gemini) company: as the (Shekinah) Lord said to him by the hand of (Castor) Moses.

41 But on the (sun on red radius horizon) morrow all the congregation of the (Gemini) children of Israel (lunar mouth) murmured against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the (Gemini) people of the (Shekinah) Lord.

42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron, that they (lunar eyeballs) looked toward the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the (Milky Way) cloud covered it, and the (solar) glory of the Lord appeared.

43 And (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron came before the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.

44 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces (rotated).

46 And (Ophiuchus) Moses said unto (Hercules) Aaron, Take a (solar) censer, and put (solar) fire therein from off the altar, and put on (red radius) incense, and go quickly unto the (Gemini) congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is (red radius) wrath gone out from the (Shekinah) Lord; the plague is begun.

47 And (Hercules) Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the (Gemini) congregation; and, behold, the (red radius) plague was begun among the people: and he put on (red radius) incense, and made an atonement for the people.

48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of (Perseus) Korah.

50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Priesthood Proven By a Righteous Branch
Cut Off That Blossoms in New Life

17:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, and take of every one of them a (red radius) rod according to the (red radius) house of their fathers, of all their (Cepheus) princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.

3 And thou shalt write (Hercules) Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

4 And thou shalt lay them up in the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the (lunar open mouths) murmurings of the (Perseus & Gemini) children of Israel, whereby they (lunar open mouths) murmur against you.

6 And (Ophiuchus) Moses spake unto the (Perseus & Gemini) children of Israel, and every one of their (Cepheus) princes gave him a (red radius) rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' (red radius) houses, even twelve rods: and the (red radius) rod of (Hercules) Aaron was among their rods.

7 And (Ophiuchus) Moses laid up the (red radius) rods before the (Shekinah) Lord in the (red radius) tabernacle of witness.

8 And it came to pass, that on the (sun on red radius horizon) morrow (Ophiuchus) Moses went into the (red radius) tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the (red radius) rod of (Hercules) Aaron for the house of Levi was (lunar)budded, and brought forth (lunar) buds, and bloomed (lunar) blossoms, and yielded (lunar) almonds.

9 And (Ophiuchus) Moses brought out all the (red radius) rods from before the (Shekinah) Lord unto all the (Gemini) children of Israel: and they (lunar eyeballs) looked, and took every man his (red radius) rod.

10 And the (Shekinah) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Bring (Hercules) Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their (lunar open mouths) murmurings from me, that they die not.

11 And (Ophiuchus) Moses did so: as the (Shekinah) Lord commanded him, so did he.

12 And the (Gemini) children of Israel (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the (red radius) tabernacle of the (Shekinah) Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

18:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord said unto (Hercules) Aaron, Thou and thy (Gemini) sons and thy father's (red radius) house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 And thy (Gemini) brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy (Gemini) sons with thee shall minister before the (red radius) tabernacle of witness.

3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the (red radius) tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the (lunar or solar) vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a (Perseus) stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no (solar) wrath any more upon the (Gemini) children of Israel.

6 And I, behold, I have taken your (Gemini) brethren the Levites from among the (Gemini) children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the (Shekinah) Lord, to do the service of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.

7 Therefore thou and thy (Gemini) sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the (red radius) vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the (Perseus) stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

8 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Hercules) Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the (Gemini) children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy (Gemini) sons, by an ordinance for ever.

9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the (solar) fire: every oblation of their's, every meat (Meal) offering of their's, and every sin offering of their's, and every trespass offering of their's which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee (Hercules) and for thy (Gemini) sons.

10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the (Gemini) children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy (Gemini) sons and to thy (Gemini) daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

12 All the best of the (solar) oil, and all the best of the (lunar white) wine, and of the (solar) wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the (Shekinah) Lord, them have I given thee.

13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the (Shekinah) Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.

14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

15 Every thing that openeth the (red radius) matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the (Shekinah) Lord, whether it be of (Gemini) men or (Aries, Taurus) beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem (with solar gold or lunar silver), and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem (with solar gold or lunar silver).

16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five (lunar silver) shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

17 But the firstling of a (Taurus) cow, or the firstling of a (Aries) sheep, or the firstling of a (Taurus) goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt (red radius) sprinkle their blood upon the (red radius) altar, and shalt burn their (lunar white) fat for an offering made by (solar) fire, for a sweet savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord.

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the (Gemini) children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy (Gemini) sons and thy (Gemini) daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the (Shekinah) Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

20 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Hercules) Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the (Gemini) children of Israel.

21 And, (lunar eyes) behold, I have given the (Gemini) children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.

22 Neither must the (Gemini) children of Israel henceforth come nigh the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and (Perseus) (red radius) die.

23 But the (Gemini) Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the (Gemini) children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24 But the tithes of the (Gemini) children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the (Shekinah) Lord, I have given to the (Gemini) Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the (Gemini) children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

26 Thus (red radius) speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the (Gemini) children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the (Shekinah) Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe.

27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the (solar) corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the (lunar white) winepress.

28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the (Shekinah) Lord of all your tithes, which ye receive of the (Gemini) children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the Lord's heave offering to (Hercules) Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the (Shekinah) Lord, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the (Gemini) Levites as the increase of the (solar) threshingfloor, and as the increase of the (lunar) winepress.

31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the (Gemini) children of Israel, lest ye die.

Ashes of a Red Heifer Sacrificed Outside the Camp
That Cleanse From Death

19:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and unto (Hercules) Aaron, saying,

2 This is the ordinance of the law which the (Shekinah) Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, that they bring thee a red (Taurus) heifer without spot, wherein is no (lunar white or black) blemish, and upon which never came (crescent) yoke:

3 And ye shall give her unto (Castor) Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one (Perseus) shall slay her before his face:

4 And (Castor) Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

5 And one shall (solar) burn the (Taurus) heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her (red radius) blood, with her dung, shall he (solar) burn:



Our Lord was “without blemish” just as the red heifer was to be. As the heifer was sacrificed “outside the camp” (Numbers 19:3), in the same way Jesus was crucified outside of Jerusalem: “And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood” (Hebrews 13:11-12).The red heifer was to be one upon which a yoke had never been placed. This signified the voluntary offer of Himself for us. The only yoke that bound Him was the yoke of His own love for us. He became sin itself in order that He might destroy him who had the power of sin and death (Heb. 2:14, 15).The sacrifice of Christ pollutes the clean (those who suppose they are so) by their guilt in crucifying Him; and that same sacrifice cleanses those who are unclean. Christ went outside the camp of heaven and became the accursed of God for the fallen human race. In His being cursed, He redeemed us from the curse (Gal. 3:13). He was "made to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."(2 Cor. 5:21). Historically the heifer was taken to the Mount of Olives and slain. Jesus’ passion prayer occurred in Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives (Matthew 26:30). The entire heifer was to be consumed. Jesus gave himself completely in sacrifice. The ashes of the heifer were to be collected by one that was clean and stored in a clean place. Joseph of Arimathea, a devout man, collected Jesus’ body and placed it in a new tomb, one that had never been defiled (John 19:41.) The heifer’s ashes were to be stored outside the city; Jesus’ body was laid in the tomb outside the city. During the sacrifice of the heifer, hyssop, cedar and scarlet was to be added. While on trial Jesus had a scarlet robe placed on him, (Matthew 27:28). As he hung on the cross he asked for a drink. The soldiers dipped hyssop in vinegar and gave it to him (John 19:29). The red heifer ashes were applied to the defiled person in two stages, on the third day and on the seventh (Numbers 19:12). Likewise, the New Testament affirms that Jesus destroyed death by his death, (2 Timothy 1:9-10), but would destroy death at his parousia (1 Corinthians 15:24-28). This was the resurrection. Jesus’ sacrifice fulfills the prophetic significance of the red heifer sacrifice.

On certain occasions in Scripture, the typology of our Lord is female. He likens himself to "a hen" that "gathers her chicks under her wings" (Matt. 23:37) and here to a red heifer -- not a bull. Perhaps to better typify the characteristic of a humble servant.

6 And the (Castor) priest shall take (red radius) cedar wood, and (Milky Way) hyssop, and (red radius) scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the (solar) burning of the (Taurus) heifer.

7 Then the (Castor) priest shall (Eridanus) wash his (lunar) clothes, and he shall (Eridanus) bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the (red radius) camp, and the (Castor) priest shall be unclean until the (sun on red radius horizon) even.

8 And he that (solar) burneth her shall wash his (lunar) clothes in (Eridanus) water, and bathe his flesh in (Eridanus) water, and shall be unclean until the (sun on red radius horizon) even.

9 And a man that is clean (Pollux) shall gather up the (lunar white and black) ashes of the (Taurus) heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the (Gemini) children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

10 And he (Pollux) that gathereth the (lunar) ashes of the (Taurus) heifer shall (Eridanus) wash his (lunar) clothes, and be unclean until the (sun on red radius horizon) even: and it shall be unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, and unto the (Perseus) stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the (red radius) tabernacle of the (Shekinah) Lord; and that soul shall be (Perseus) (red radius) cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a (red radius) tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

16 And whosoever toucheth one that is (red radius) slain with a (Perseus) sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a (Milky Way) bone of a man, or a (lunar) grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the (lunar) ashes of the (solar) burnt (Taurus) heifer of purification for sin, and (Eridanus) running water shall be put thereto in a (lunar) vessel:

18 And a clean person shall take (Milky Way) hyssop, and dip it in the (lunar) water, and (red radius) sprinkle it upon the (red radius) tent, and upon all the (lunar and solar) vessels, and upon the (Gemini) persons that were there, and upon him that touched a (Milky Way) bone, or one (Perseus) (red radius) slain, or one dead, or a (lunar) grave:

19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and (Eridanus) wash his (lunar) clothes, and (Eridanus) bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at (sun on red radius horizon) even.

20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be (Perseus) (red radius) cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the (Eridanus) water of separation hath not been (red radius) sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the (lunar) water of separation shall (Eridanus) wash his (lunar) clothes; and he that toucheth the (lunar) water of separation shall be unclean until (sun on red radius horizon) even.

22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until (sun on red radius horizon) even.

Moses Smote the Rock Twice,
Called the People "Rebels" and
Didn't Give God Credit For the Miracle

20:1 Then came the (Gemini) children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and (Virgo) Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no (lunar) water for the (Gemini, etc) congregation: and they gathered themselves together against (Ophiuchus) Moses and against (Hercules) Aaron.

3 And the (Gemini) people chode with (Ophiuchus) Moses, and (lunar open mouth) (red radius) spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our (Gemini) brethren died before the Lord!

4 And why have ye brought up the (Gemini) congregation of the (Shekinah) Lord into this wilderness, that we and our (Taurus) cattle should die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of (lunar) seed, or of (solar) figs, or of (red radius) vines, or of (lunar red radius) pomegranates; neither is there any (lunar) water to drink.

6 And (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron went from the presence of the (Gemini) assembly unto the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces (rotated): and the glory of the (Shekinah) Lord appeared unto them.

7 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,

8 Take the (red radius) rod, and gather thou the (Gemini) assembly together, thou, and (Hercules) Aaron thy brother, and (red radius) speak ye unto the (lunar) rock before their (lunar) eyes; and it shall give forth his (red radius) water, and thou shalt bring forth to them (lunar) water out of the (lunar) rock: so thou shalt give the (Gemini) congregation and their (Aries & Taurus) beasts drink.

9 And (Ophiuchus) Moses took the (red radius) rod from before the (Shekinah) Lord, as he commanded him.

10 And (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron gathered the (Gemini) congregation together before the (lunar) rock, and he (red radius) said unto them, (lunar ears) Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you (lunar) water out of this (lunar) rock?

11 And Moses lifted up his (Perseus & Castor) hand, and with his (red radius) rod he smote the (lunar) rock twice: and the (red radius) water came out abundantly, and the (Gemini) congregation drank, and their (Aries & Taurus) beasts also.

12 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the (Lunar) eyes of the (Gemini) children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

What was the offense for which Moses was excluded from the promised land? "He spake unadvisedly" (Ps. 106:33); and it appears to have consisted in some or all of the following particulars:

1). God had commanded him (Numbers 20:8) to take the rod in his hand, and go and SPEAK To The Rock, and it should give forth water. It seems Moses did not think speaking would be sufficient, therefore he SMOTE the rock without any command so to do.

2). He did this TWICE, which certainly in this case indicated a great perturbation of spirit, and want of attention to the presence of God.

3). He permitted his spirit to be carried away by a sense of the people's disobedience, and thus, being provoked, he was led to speak unadvisedly with his lips: Hear now, YE REBELS, Numbers 20:10.

4). He did NOT ACKNOWLEDGE GOD in the miracle which was about to be wrought, but took the honor to himself and Aaron: "Must WE FETCH you water out of this rock?""for he that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory" (John 7:18).

Thus it plainly appears that they did not properly believe in God, and did not honor him in the sight of the people; for in their presence they seem to express a doubt whether the thing could be possibly done. As Aaron appears to have been consenting in the above particulars, therefore he is also excluded from the promised land.

Some say their sin was, that the order was to SPEAK to the rock, whereas it was SMITTEN, and not spoken to; but why then was Moses bid to take the rod with him, if it was not to smite with it, as he had done before at Horeb? and besides, this would only have been the sin of Moses, and not of Aaron; others think, that what provoked the Lord was, that the Israelites were called "REBELS"; but this is a name the Lord himself gave them, Numbers 17:10, and was what they justly deserved; and what after this Moses says of them, which, had this been the case, he would have been careful to have abstained from, Deuteronomy 9:24. Others are of opinion, that what was displeasing to the Lord was, that the bringing the water out of the rock was ascribed to themselves, and not to him; "must WE FETCH you water", &c. Others suppose the sin was in SMITING the rock TWICE, and in ANGER; but this could only be the fault of Moses at most. Dr. Lightfoot thinks the particular fault was this, that Moses expressed his displeasure and resentment to the Israelites, that on their murmuring a new rock was opening, which portended a new and long stay in the wilderness, as the opening of the first rock at Horeb did when he and Aaron were in expectation of being soon out of the wilderness, and now they feared they were beginning anew their abode in it; but it is certain from the text that UNBELIEF was their sin; they were diffident about the will of God to bring water out of the rock for such a rebellious people, and they did not put them in mind of the miracles God had wrought in former time, to encourage their faith; and so the Lord was not sanctified by them before the people, as he ought to have been:

therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them; the land of Canaan, a grant of which was made to their fathers, and particularly to this generation, and into which they would certainly be brought; but not by Moses and Aaron, who were excluded because of their unbelief, and accordingly both died before the entrance of the people into the land. This, according to the Targum of Jonathan, and Jarchi, was said with an oath; see Hebrews 3:18.

13 This is the water of Meribah; because the (Gemini) children of Israel strove with the (Shekinah) Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

14 And (Ophiuchus) Moses sent (Gemini) messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

15 How our (Gemini) fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the (Gemini) Egyptians vexed us, and our (Gemini) fathers:

16 And when we (Ophiuchus , Hercules & lunar open mouths) cried unto the (Shekinah) Lord, he (lunar ears) heard our (red radius) voice, and sent an (solar) angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the (red radius) fields, or through the (red radius) vineyards, neither will we drink of the (lunar) water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the (red radius) right hand nor to the (red radius) left, until we have passed thy borders.

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the (Perseus) (red radius) sword.

19 And the (Gemini) children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my (Taurus) cattle drink of thy (lunar) water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much (Gemini) people, and with a (Perseus) strong hand.

21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

22 And the (Gemini) children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

23 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron in (red radius) mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 (Hercules) Aaron shall be gathered unto his (Gemini) people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Take (Castor) Aaron and (Pollux) Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto (red radius) mount Hor:

26 And strip (Castor) Aaron of his (lunar) garments, and put them upon (Pollux) Eleazar his son: and (Castor) Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

27 And (Ophiuchus) Moses did as the (Shekinah) Lord commanded: and they went up into (red radius) mount Hor in the (lunar eyeballs) sight of all the congregation.

28 And (Ophiuchus) Moses stripped (Castor) Aaron of his garments, and put them upon (Pollux) Eleazar his son; and (Castor) Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Eleazar came down from the (red radius) mount.

29 And when all the (Gemini) congregation (lunar eyeballs) saw that (Castor) Aaron was dead, they mourned for (Castor) Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
