📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

The Israelites' scouts travel ahead and encounter the twelve Midianite tribes, who offer food and hospitality before betraying them to the Israelites. Moses orders the Midianites to be killed, and the Israelites obey. The chapter highlights the danger of unchecked hospitality and the importance of obedience to God's command.
