The Lord spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai saying take a census of all the children of Israel. Moses took a census and listed them all with the exception of the Levites. Moses and Aaron were all listed and told to camp with their families to camp by their standards some distance from the tabernacle. The Lord listed the tribes and the leaders of the armies of each. Then there was a listing of the sons of Aaron by Moses while on Mt. Sinai. The Lord now spoke to Moses saying to number the Levites. There was a list of all the sons of Levi and what each of them and their houses where to be responsible to deal with in the putting up and taking down of the tabernacle. Then the Lord dedicated all the Levites instead of the first born. The Lord lists the duties of the sons of Kohath. Then the sons of Gershon, and duties of the sons of Merari. then the Lord leads Moses to take a census of the Levites.
Leviticus 1-4 -
This is an eye opener for how the Lord chose to have Moses take a census of the children of Israel. I still wonder a bit why He chose the ages of the men He chose to take census of. One month for this and 20 years for this and 30-50 years for this. I do understand the 20 yrs of age for the age of those ready for war. I figure there is more meaning in this decision of why He chose the ages he chose at different times. I will look forward to seeing the reason as I continue to read and study the Word.
I pray the Lord leads me into more and more truths as I continue my study of the Word each and every day. Lord please help me to see the light in your Word. I ask for your guidance in the loving gracious precious wonderful name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
