Today’s Reading

2/3/2019       Day 34  Numbers 1:1 - 4:49

Reflection:

Background

Peter Ennes Background on Book of Numbers

The first census of the people of Israel is focusing more like
a military draft than a counting of the people. 650,000 strong of men
who could serve in a military campaign. The only exception is the tribe
of Levi who has been designated as the priests for the nation and they

are the only ones who can pack and touch the holy items of worship.

There is a marching  and camping order and a further census of the
Tribe of Levi between 30 - 50 and males who can serve as priests and

bearers of certain items and packed in a particular way.

Meditation/Contemplate:

How are you called to serve?

Prayer:

Call me into your service and instruct me what you would have me do
in your Kingdom. Amen
