There are a few places in Scripture where the travels of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan are recorded, and not only do they not reconcile easily, it&#8217;s hard for me to see how Numbers 33 works by itself.

That is, at places, I do see problems that I can&#8217;t figure out. Because of faith (and a million other places where the biblical account is clearly accurate and trustworthy), I don&#8217;t believe that these are mistakes. I don&#8217;t believe that Numbers 33 is in error. But I confess that I can&#8217;t figure it out. The result is that my approach in talking to others is more characterized by humility. My conviction of the inerrancy of Scripture is solid, but my attitude is not an arrogant, in-your-face style. And when I figure Numbers 33 out one day, I think a sensitive and loving approach will still be best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m reading through the Bible (yes, in a non-approved version), and in going through Numbers 33, I was reminded of how difficult the wilderness itineraries are.
