During Israel’s 40 years wandering in the desert, I’ve read they fought battles. Did they have losses?
In Exodus 17 we read that Israel was attached by the Amalekites in an area called Rephidim, thought to be in the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula. From the description in Deuteronomy 25 and Exodus 17, it appears Israel did have losses.“Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth [...]
What is the new world order?
