He said, "Number the Kohathite line of >> Levites by clan and >> family. Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age, >> all who enter the ministry to work in the Tent of Meeting. >> >> 4 "This is the assigned work of the Kohathites in the Tent of Meeting: >> care of the most holy >> things. >> >> 5-6 "When the camp is ready to set out, Aaron and his sons are to go in >> and take down the covering >> curtain and cover the Chest of The Testimony with it. >> Then they are to cover this with a dolphin skin, spread a solid blue >> cloth >> on top, and insert the >> poles. >> >> 7-8 "Then they are to spread a blue cloth on the Table of the Presence >> and >> set the Table with >> plates, incense dishes, bowls, and jugs for drink offerings. >> The bread that is always there stays on the Table. They are to cover >> these >> with a scarlet cloth, and >> on top of that spread the dolphin skin, and insert >> the poles. >> >> 9-10 "They are to use a blue cloth to cover the light-giving Lampstand >> and >> the lamps, snuffers, >> trays, and the oil jars that go with it. Then they are >> to wrap it all in a covering of dolphin skin and place it on a carrying >> frame. >> >> 11 "They are to spread a blue cloth over the Gold Altar and cover it with >> dolphin skins and place >> it on a carrying frame. >> >> 12 "They are to take all the articles used in ministering in the >> Sanctuary, wrap them in a blue >> cloth, cover them with dolphin skins, and place them on >> a carrying frame. >> >> 13-14 "They are to remove the ashes from the Altar and spread a purple >> cloth over it. They are to >> place on it all the articles used in ministering at the >> Altar-firepans, forks, shovels, bowls; everything used at the Altar-place >> them on the Altar, cover >> it with the dolphin skins, and insert the poles. >> >> 15 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings >> and all the holy articles, >> and the camp is ready to set out, the Kohathites are >> to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or >> they will die. The >> Kohathites are in charge of carrying all the things that are >> in the Tent of Meeting. >> >> 16 "Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, is to be in charge of the oil for >> the >> light, the fragrant >> incense, the regular Grain-Offering, and the anointing oil. >> He is to be in charge of the entire Dwelling and everything in it, >> including its holy furnishings >> and articles." >> >> 17-20 God spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Don't let the tribal families of the >> Kohathites be destroyed >> from among the Levites. Protect them so they will live >> and not die when they come near the most holy things. To protect them, >> Aaron and his sons are to >> precede them into the Sanctuary and assign each man his >> task and what he is to carry. But the Kohathites themselves must not go >> in >> to look at the holy >> things, not even a glance at them, or they will die." >> >> Duties of the Gershonites >> 21-23 God spoke to Moses: "Number the Gershonites by tribes according to >> their ancestral families. >> Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who >> enter the ministry of work in the Tent of Meeting. >> >> 24-28 "The Gershonites by family and clan will serve by carrying heavy >> loads: the curtains of the >> Sanctuary and the Tent of Meeting; the covering of the >> Tent and the outer covering of dolphin skins; the screens for the >> entrance >> to the Tent; the cords; >> and all the equipment used in its ministries. The Gershonites >> have the job of doing the work connected with these things. All their >> work >> of lifting and carrying >> and moving is to be done under the supervision of Aaron >> and his sons. Assign them specifically what they are to carry. This is >> the >> work of the Gershonite >> clans at the Tent of Meeting. Ithamar son of Aaron the >> priest is to supervise their work. >> >> Duties of the Merarites >> 29-30 "Number the Merarites by their ancestral families. Count all the >> men >> from thirty to fifty >> years of age who enter the ministry of work at the Tent >> of Meeting. >> >> 31-33 "This is their assigned duty as they go to work at the Tent of >> Meeting: to carry the frames >> of The Dwelling, its crossbars, posts, and bases, as >> well as the posts of the surrounding Courtyard with their bases, tent >> pegs, cords, and all the >> equipment related to their use. Assign to each man exactly >> what he is to carry. This is the ministry of the Merarite clans as they >> work at the Tent of Meeting >> under the supervision of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest." >> >> 34-37 Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation counted the >> Kohathites by clan and family. >> All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came >> to serve in the work in the Tent of Meeting, counted by clans, were >> 2,750. >> This was the total from >> the Kohathite clans who served in the Tent of Meeting. >> Moses and Aaron counted them just as God had commanded through Moses. >> >> 38-41 The Gershonites were counted by clan and family. All the men from >> thirty to fifty years of >> age who came to serve in the work in the Tent of Meeting, >> counted by clan and family, were 2,630. This was the total from the >> Gershonite clans who served in >> the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them just >> as God had commanded. >> >> 42-45 The Merarites were counted by clan and family. All the men from >> thirty to fifty years of age >> who came to serve in the work in the Tent of Meeting, >> counted by clan, were 3,200. This was the total from the Merarite clans. >> Moses and Aaron counted >> them just as God had commanded through Moses. >> >> 46-49 So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel counted all the >> Levites >> by clan and family. All >> the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to >> do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting numbered 8,580. >> At >> God's command through >> Moses, each man was assigned his work and told what to >> carry. >> >> And that's the story of their numbering, as God commanded Moses. >> >> Numbers 5 >> >> Some Camp Rules >> 1-3 God spoke to Moses: "Command the People of Israel to ban from the >> camp >> anyone who has an >> infectious skin disease, anyone who has a discharge, and anyone >> who is ritually unclean from contact with a dead body. Ban male and >> female >> alike; send them outside >> the camp so that they won't defile their camp, the >> place I live among them." >> >> 4 The People of Israel did this, banning them from the camp. They did >> exactly what God had >> commanded through Moses. >> >> 5-10 God spoke to Moses: "Tell the People of Israel, When a man or woman >> commits any sin, the person >> has broken trust with God, is guilty, and must confess >> the sin. Full compensation plus twenty percent must be made to whoever >> was >> wronged. If the wronged >> person has no close relative who can receive the compensation, >> the compensation belongs to God and must be given to the priest, along >> with the ram by which >> atonement is made. All the sacred offerings that the People >> of Israel bring to a priest belong to the priest. Each person's sacred >> offerings are his own, but >> what one gives to the priest stays with the priest." >> >> 11-15 God spoke to Moses: "Tell the People of Israel, Say a man's wife >> goes off and has an affair, >> is unfaithful to him by sleeping with another man, but >> her husband knows nothing about it even though she has defiled herself. >> And then, even though there >> was no witness and she wasn't caught in the act, feelings >> of jealousy come over the husband and he suspects that his wife is >> impure. >> Even if she is innocent >> and his jealousy and suspicions are groundless, he is >> to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of two >> quarts of barley flour for her. >> He is to pour no oil on it or mix incense with it >> because it is a Grain-Offering for jealousy, a Grain-Offering for >> bringing >> the guilt out into the >> open. >> >> 16-22 "The priest then is to take her and have her stand in the presence >> of God. He is to take some >> holy water in a pottery jar and put some dust from >> the floor of The Dwelling in the water. After the priest has her stand in >> the presence of God he is >> to uncover her hair and place the exposure-offering >> in her hands, the Grain-Offering for jealousy, while he holds the bitter >> water that delivers a >> curse. Then the priest will put the woman under oath and >> say, 'If no man has slept with you and you have not had an adulterous >> affair and become impure while >> married to your husband, may this bitter water that >> delivers a curse not harm you. But if you have had an affair while >> married >> to your husband and have >> defiled yourself by sleeping with a man other than >> your husband'-here the priest puts the woman under this curse-'may God >> cause your people to curse >> and revile you when he makes your womb shrivel and your >> belly swell. Let this water that delivers a curse enter your body so that >> your belly swells and your >> womb shrivels.' >> >> "Then the woman shall say, 'Amen. Amen.' >> >> 23-28 "The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash the >> words off into the bitter >> water. He then is to give the woman the bitter water >> that delivers a curse. This water will enter her body and cause acute >> pain. The priest then is to >> take from her hands a handful of the Grain-Offering for >> jealousy, wave it before God, and bring it to the Altar. The priest then >> is to take a handful of the >> Grain-Offering, using it as an exposure-offering, >> and burn it on the Altar; after this he is to make her drink the water. >> If >> she has defiled herself >> in being unfaithful to her husband, when she drinks >> the water that delivers a curse, it will enter her body and cause acute >> pain; her belly will swell >> and her womb shrivel. She will be cursed among her people. >> But if she has not defiled herself and is innocent of impurity, her name >> will be cleared and she >> will be able to have children. >> >> 29-31 "This is the law of jealousy in a case where a woman goes off and >> has an affair and defiles >> herself while married to her husband, or a husband is >> tormented with feelings of jealousy because he suspects his wife. The >> priest is to have her stand in >> the presence of God and go through this entire procedure >> with her. The husband will be cleared of wrong, but the woman will pay >> for >> her wrong." >> >> Numbers 6 >> >> Nazirite Vows >> 1-4 God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel; tell them, If any >> of you, man or woman, >> wants to make a special Nazirite vow, consecrating yourself >> totally to God, you must not drink any wine or beer, no intoxicating >> drink >> of any kind, not even the >> juice of grapes-in fact, you must not even eat grapes >> or raisins. For the duration of the consecration, nothing from the >> grapevine-not even the seeds, not >> even the skin-may be eaten. >> >> 5 "Also, for the duration of the consecration you must not have your hair >> cut. Your long hair will >> be a continuing sign of holy separation to God. >> >> 6-7 "Also, for the duration of the consecration to God, you must not go >> near a corpse. Even if it's >> the body of your father or mother, brother or sister, >> you must not ritually defile yourself because the sign of consecration to >> God is on your head. >> >> 8 "For the entire duration of your consecration you are holy to God. >> >> 9-12 "If someone should die suddenly in your presence, so that your >> consecrated head is ritually >> defiled, you must shave your head on the day of your purifying, >> that is, the seventh day. Then on the eighth day bring two doves or two >> pigeons to the priest at the >> entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The priest will offer >> one for the Absolution-Offering and one for the Whole-Burnt-Offering, >> purifying you from the ritual >> contamination of the corpse. You resanctify your hair >> on that day and reconsecrate your Nazirite consecration to God by >> bringing >> a yearling lamb for a >> Compensation-Offering. You start over; the previous days >> don't count because your consecration was ritually defiled. >> >> 13-17 "These are the instructions for the time set when your special >> consecration to God is up. >> First, you are to be brought to the entrance to the Tent >> of Meeting. Then you will present your offerings to God: a healthy >> yearling lamb for the >> Whole-Burnt-Offering, a healthy yearling ewe for an Absolution-Offering, >> a healthy ram for a Peace-Offering, a basket of unraised bread made of >> fine flour, loaves mixed with >> oil, and crackers spread with oil, along with your >> Grain-Offerings and Drink-Offerings. The priest will approach God and >> offer up your >> Absolution-Offering and Whole-Burnt-Offering. He will sacrifice the >> ram as a Peace-Offering to God with the basket of unraised bread, and, >> last of all, the >> Grain-Offering and Drink-Offering. >> >> 18 "At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, shave off the hair you >> consecrated and put it in the >> fire that is burning under the Peace-Offering. >> >> 19-20 "After you have shaved the hair of your consecration, the priest >> will take a shoulder from >> the ram, boiled, and a piece of unraised bread and a cracker >> from the basket and place them in your hands. The priest will then wave >> them before God, a >> Wave-Offering. They are holy and belong to the priest, along >> with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered. >> >> "Now you are free to drink wine. >> >> 21 "These are the instructions for Nazirites as they bring offerings to >> God in their vow of >> consecration, beyond their other offerings. They must carry >> out the vow they have vowed following the instructions for the Nazirite." >> >> The Aaronic Blessing >> 22-23 God spoke to Moses: "Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are >> to >> bless the People of >> Israel. Say to them, >> >> 24 God bless you and keep you, >> >> 25 God smile on you and gift you, >> >> 26 God look you full in the face >> and make you prosper. >> 27 In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel- >> I will confirm it by blessing them." >> >> >> Please join us on Skype Monday thru Friday at 8:00 EST for our Morning >> Skype Prayer Time. >> >> >> Contact Me At: >> Donnie Parrett >> 1956 Asa Flat Road >> Annville, Kentucky 40402 >> Home Phone: 606-364-3321 >> Church Phone: 606-364-PRAY >> Skype Name: Donnie1261 >> Email: [email protected] >> >> > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deaf-Blind Inspirational Life Group" group.
