And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 31:15
Eldad and Medad began to prophesy on their own. A young man ran and told Moses, saying, "Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp." Joshua said to Moses, "Moses, forbid them!" But Moses said, "Heck, I wish everyone was a prophet!" 11:26-29
"If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will ... speak unto him in a dream." Now
there's a reliable way to communicate with someone! 12:6
"There shall come a Star out of Jacob"
This verse is called the "star prophecy"
and is sometimes claimed to be a prophecy of the
star of Bethlehem
(Matthew 2:2). But this seems unlikely, since the verse refers to Moab, and the kingdom of Moab
didn't exist in New Testament times. Jesus didn't smite Moab or kill the children of Sheth.
("Sheth" here refers to Seth -- the son of Adam, from whom Noah and, according to the Bible, all other humans
descended. So if this is a prophecy about Jesus, then it prophesies that Jesus will someday
kill everyone on earth.) 24:17
