Have always wondered where these settlements were that Moses & his merry band of priests were so set up that they could demand sacred donations of oil, grain, fruits, wine & money? These 2mil people certainly had to have set up shop somehwhere which would include vineyards and they hadn't even crossed over the river yet?
Where is all this mostly ugly genocidal fantasy trip taking place? All those people this God saves out of Egypt
are then also destroyed and people wonder why the ME is as f'ked up & insane as it is, all u do is just read the bible or koran,
the insanity is plainly right there in the text
Book of Numbers

The Israelites then set out to conquer the land, but almost immediately they refuse to enter it and Yahweh condemns the whole generation who left Egypt to die in the wilderness.
The message is clear: failure was not due to any
fault in the preparation, because Yahweh had foreseen everything, but to
Israel's sin of unfaithfulness. In the final section the Israelites of the
new generation follow Yahweh's instructions as given through Moses and are
successful in all they attempt. [14]
The last five chapters are exclusively concerned with land: instructions for
the extermination of the Canaanites, the demarcation of the boundaries of
the land, how the land is to be divided, holy cities for the Levites and
"cities of refuge", the problem of pollution of the land by blood, and
regulations for inheritance when a male heir is lacking. [15]
