My focus is very bad this morning and these two chapters I am not sure I really read. They just seemed informational and not really much more. It explains their move into Canaan and what happened a long the way.
Psalm 93 is thanking God for his reign over everything that he created.

So I took some time this morning and went back to read the summary at the beginning of this book in my Bible and also the accompanying book. I have had to play catch-up this week in my studies and did not do this in the beginning. It says that this book is named such as it's the 2 countings of the Hebrew people. The first was to organize the camps by their tribal clans, afterward they were preparing to enter the promised land only to balk in fear. They grumbled and disbelieved so the Lord took them on a 40 year journey of obedience and defiance. The second counting was of the next generation which is considered a faithful generation. I'm going to go back thru the accompanying book as there is more info that might help us understand this book better.
Chapter 32 has some tribes asking Moses if they can stay on this side of the river as the land is good for their flocks. They end up having to agree to keeping their covenant and fighting for the Lord on the other side and getting the people to the promised land before it's agreed they can stay there. 33 shares with us the geographical info on their journey to this point. It also says the Lord tells them if they do not drive out all the people they will become thorns and give them problems and then the Lord will smite them the way he planned to smite those people. It's a warning to follow his instruction, or a lesson in obedience yet again.
The psalm is a short one that speaks of the Lord being mighty.
