Chronological Reading of the Bible - Day 83 - March 24, 2026

This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.Numbers 14:1 - 15:41The Israelites grumble and rebel after the spies' fearful report, weeping all night and desiring to return to Egypt; Moses and Aaron intercede as God threatens to destroy the people for their unbelief.God pardons them but decrees the rebellious generation (20 years and older) will die in the wilderness over 40 years; laws on offerings and fringes are given, and a presumptuous unauthorized invasion attempt fails.John 7:2The verse notes that the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) was approaching, providing the setting for the subsequent events in Jerusalem.John 7:11-31Jesus arrives secretly at the feast after His brothers urge Him to show Himself publicly; crowds debate whether He is good or a deceiver, while He teaches in the temple, astonishing people with His knowledge and declaring His teaching is from God, His origin, and His return to the Father, causing division and failed attempts to arrest Him.
