Num 17:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12-13 : The Israelites were afraid and cried out, “We die, we perish, we all perish!” They realized how serious it was to come near God unless He allowed it (Num. 17:12-13 ). Some people complained about God’s judgment, while others finally accepted God’s decision and were willing to submit. In both cases, God made it clear that He would be obeyed, and the people learned to respect His holiness.
