In Numbers 26 and 27 a census is taken of all the males 20 years old and older. None of those who had been enrolled at Mt Sinai were there because they were not allowed to go into the Promised Land. Moses is instructed to apportion the inheritance of the new land to each clan based upon its size. There was one clan that had no sons. The daughters petitioned to receive the inheritance. God agreed and made a statute for the giving of inheritances when there are no sons.

Moses is told to go up a mountain to see what God is giving the people of Israel. He is told that he will not be able to enter the land because of his disobedience in the wilderness of Zin. Moses pleads that God assign someone else the task of leading the people. God chooses Joshua. Moses takes Joshua before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation. Eleazar commissions Joshua as God commands.

Even though many of the people of Israel disobeyed God and could not receive the inheritance. God is faithful to the people and does not condemn them all because of what some have done.

In Acts 22 Paul speak to the people in Hebrew. He explains who he is and describes his call from Jesus. He explains that Jesus sent him to the Gentiles. At this the crowd becomes angry again.

They bind him up with thongs and Paul tells a centurion that he is a Roman citizen. The tribune released him because of his citizenship but brought him before the chief priests and council to find out why he was being accused.
