INTRODUCTION
1. Last week, we learned about the complaints of the people of Israel
a) To chastise and correct them, God sent fiery serpents against them
b) It reflected God’s love as a Father to a son
c) The people’s conscience was affected, and they repented of their sins
d) They were saved by looking at the bronze serpent
2. This week, as we read from Numbers 21:10 onwards, we see a transition.
a) From the old rebellious children of Israel who were dying out
b) To a new generation rising up
3. The title for today’s message is “I have delivered him into your hands” Numbers 21:34

b) God delivering the enemy into the hands of Israel
THE PLAN TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND
1. The failure of the first attempt Numbers 13,14
a) 12 spies were sent to search the land
b) 10 spies gave a bad report … giants, fortresses.
c) The people became fearful and refused to enter the land
d) God punished them by sending them into the wilderness for 40 years
2. The forward movement of the second attempt
10 Now the children of Israel moved on and camped in Oboth. 11 And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise. 12 From there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered. 13 From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD:
“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon,
15 And the slope of the brooks
That reaches to the dwelling of Ar,
And lies on the border of Moab.”16 From there they went to Beer, which is the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” 17 Then Israel sang this song:
“Spring up, O well!
All of you sing to it—
18 The well the leaders sank,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the lawgiver, with their staves.”And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland.

21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells.
