Joe: Alright Bible Expert, we are onto Chapter 22 of the Bible, Numbers 22. What’s going on here?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, we’re picking up right where we left off in the previous chapter. The Israelites have just successfully conquered the land of Moab and are now encamped on its eastern border.

Joe: Woah, that’s intense. And what’s the chapter about?

Bible Expert: Well, in this chapter, the Moabites are afraid that the Israelites are planning to attack them. So they hire the prophet Balaam to come and curse the Israelites.

Joe: Interesting. So, what happens when Balaam arrives?

Bible Expert: Well, Balaam arrives and God intervenes to prevent him from cursing the Israelites. Instead, God tells Balaam to bless them.

Joe: Huh, that’s unexpected. So, does Balaam follow God’s advice?

Bible Expert: Yes, he does. But the Moabites are still not happy and they launch an attack on the Israelites. However, the Israelites are victorious and they drive the Moabites back.

Joe: Wow, this is getting intense. So, what’s the moral of this chapter?

Bible Expert: The moral of this chapter is that God will protect his people when they are obedient to him. The Israelites were victorious because they chose to obey God and follow his commands.
