People Killed

List All people
back to list

Why write such a morbid list? My motivation was to show how many Israelites died and show that rebellion against God was the root cause. To put it another way I am trying to emphasis that the enemy of the camp is internal not external.

Note. The source for this list was gotten from someone who obviously is not a fan of the scriptures and I in no way endorse their sentiment.
