Av 10 – This will not succeed

August 14, 2024

Av 10, 5784; from sunset August 13, 2024, to sunset August 14, 2024

(The tenth day of the fifth month)

This is the name “Mosheh” (מֺשֶׁה – Moses) as seen in the Dead Sea Scrolls, written over two thousand years ago.

Today in the Bible, after initially refusing to believe God, that He would be with them to conquer the peoples living in the Promised Land, the Israelites now choose to believe – and plow forward into battle without the blessing of the LORD. This is the traditional date of the following events.

And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we are, and we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised, for we have sinned!”

“…why do you transgress the command of the LORD? For this will not succeed.”

And Moses said, “Now why do you transgress the command of the LORD? For this will not succeed. Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the LORD is not among you. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the LORD, the LORD will not be with you.”

But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop; nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed from the camp. Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and attacked them, and drove them back as far as Hormah. – Numbers 14:40-45 (NKJ)
