Malcom: Welcome to Immerse: the Daily Bible reading Experience.
Day 100 and 33
this is the family line of Aaron and Moses as it was recorded when the
Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
The names of Aaron's sons were Naab, the oldest Abai Hu Zer and eMAR.
These sons of Aaron were anointed and ordained to minister as priests.
But NAAB and AB Bayou died in the Lord's presence in the wilderness of Sinai.
When they burned before the Lord, the wrong kind of fire, different than he
had commanded since they had no sons.
This left only Zer and eMAR to serve as priests with their father, Aaron.
Then the Lord said to Moses, call forward the tribe of Levi
and present them to Aaron, the priest, to service his assistance.
They will serve Aaron and the whole community performing their sacred
duties in and around the tabernacle.
They will also maintain all the furnishings of the sacred
tent serving in the tabernacle.
On behalf of all the Israelites, assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons.
They have been given from among all the people of Israel to serve as their
assistance, appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood.
But any unauthorized person who goes too near the sanctuary must be put to death.
And the Lord said to Moses, look, I have chosen the Levites from
among the Israelites to serve as substitutes for all the firstborn
sons of the people of Israel.
The Levites belong to me for all the firstborn males are mine.
On the day I struck down all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, I set apart for
myself all the firstborn in Israel.
Both of people and of animals, they are mine.
I am the Lord.
The Lord spoke again to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai.
He said, record the names of the members of the tribe of Levi
by their families and clans.
List every male who is one month old or older.
So Moses listed them just as the Lord had commanded.
Levi had three sons whose names were Gersin, koha, and Murrai.
The Klans descended from Gersin were named after two of his
descendants, lib, NAI, and Shiai.
The Klans descended from Koha were named after four of his descendants,
AMAM, ISAR, Hein, and Uel.
The Klans descended from Murrai were named after two of his descendants.
Mala and Muai.
These were the Levi Clans listed.
According to their family groups, the descendants of Gersin were composed of.
The clans descended from lib, nai, and Shiai.
There were 7,500 males, one month old or older, among these Gersen night clans.
They were assigned the area to the west of the Tabernacle for their camp.
The leader of the Gersch Knight Clans was Eliasoph son of Lail.
These two clans were responsible to care for the tabernacle, including the sacred
tent with its layers of coverings, the curtain at its entrance, the curtains
of the courtyard that surrounded the tabernacle and altar, the curtain at the
courtyard entrance, the ropes, and all of the equipment related to their use.
The descendants of Koha were composed of the Klans descended
from Amam, ISAR, Hein, and uio.
There were 8,600 males, one month old or older, among these kotite clans.
They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary, and they were assigned the area
south of the tabernacle for their camp.
The leader of the Coha Clans was Eza, son of uio.
These four clans were responsible for the care of the arc,
the table, the lamp stand.
The altars, the various articles used in the sanctuary, the inner curtain, and
all the equipment related to their use.
Zer son of Aaron, the priest, was the chief administrator over all the
Levites with special responsibility for the oversight of the sanctuary.
The descendants of Marai were composed of The clans descended from Moai and Muai.
There were 6,200 males, one month old or older.
Among these Mara clans, they were assigned the area north of
the Tabernacle for their camp.
The leader of the Marai Clans was Zuri, son of Abigail.
These two clans were responsible for the care of the frame, supporting
the tabernacle, the crossbars.
The pillars, the bases, and all the equipment related to their use.
They were also responsible for the posts of the courtyard and
all their bases, pegs and ropes.
The area in front of the tabernacle in the east toward the sunrise was
reserved for the tents of Moses and of Aaron and his sons, who had the
final responsibility for the sanctuary on behalf of the people of Israel.
Anyone other than a priest or Levite who went too near the
sanctuary was to be put to death.
When Moses and Aaron counted the Levite clans at the Lord's command,
the total number was 22,000 males, one month old or older.
Then the Lord said to Moses, now count all the firstborn sons in
Israel who were one month old or older, and make a list of their names.
The Levites must be reserved for me as substitutes for
the firstborn sons of Israel.
I am the Lord and the Levites livestock must be reserved for me
as substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the whole nation of Israel.
So Moses counted the firstborn sons of the people of Israel,
just as the Lord had commanded.
The number of firstborn sons who were one month old or older was 22,273.
Then the Lord said to Moses, take the Levites as substitutes for the
firstborn sons of the people of Israel and take the livestock of the Levites
as substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the people of Israel.
The Levites belong to me.
I am the Lord.
There are 273 more firstborn sons of Israel than there are Levites.
To redeem these extra firstborn sons collect five pieces of silver for each
of them, each piece weighing the same as the sanctuary sheckle, which equals 20.
Gus give this silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price
for the extra firstborn sons.
So Moses collected the silver for redeeming the firstborn sons of Israel,
who exceeded the number of Levites.
He collected 1,365 pieces of silver on behalf of these firstborn sons of Israel.
Each piece weighing the same as the sanctuary shekel.
And Moses gave the silver for the redemption to Aaron and his sons,
just as the Lord had commanded.
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, record the names of the members
of the Clans and families of the Kohe division of the Tribe of Levi.
List all the men between the ages of 30 and 50 who are eligible
to serve in the tabernacle.
The duties of the COHEs at the Tabernacle will relate to the most sacred objects.
When the camp moves, Aaron and his sons must enter the tabernacle first
to take down the inner curtain and cover the ark of the Covenant with it.
Then they must cover the inner curtain with fine goat, skin leather, and spread
over that a single piece of blue cloth.
Finally, they must put the carrying poles of the ark in place.
Next, they must spread a blue cloth over the table where the
bread of the presence is displayed.
And on the cloth they will place the bowls, ladles, jars,
pitchers, and the special bread.
They must spread a scarlet cloth over all of this.
And finally, a covering a fine goat, skin leather on top of the scarlet cloth.
Then they must insert the carrying poles into the table.
Next, they must cover the lamp stand with a blue cloth along with
its lamps, lamp, snuffers trays, and special jars of olive oil.
Then they must cover the lamp stand and its accessories with
fine goat, skin leather, and place the bundle on a carrying frame.
Next, they must spread a blue cloth over the gold incense altar, and cover
this cloth with fine goat skin leather.
Then they must attach the carrying poles to the altar.
They must take all the remaining furnishings of the sanctuary
and wrap them in a blue cloth.
Cover them with fine goat skin leather, and place them on the carrying frame.
They must remove the ashes from the altar for sacrifices and cover
the altar with a purple cloth.
All the alt alter utensils.
The fire pans, meat forks, shovels, basins, and all the containers
must be placed on the cloth.
And a covering of fine goat skin leather must be spread over them.
Finally, they must put the carrying poles in place.
The camp will be ready to move.
When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the sacred
articles, the COHEs will come and carry these things to the next destination.
But they must not touch the sacred objects or they will die.
So these are the things from the tabernacle that the COHEs must carry.
Eliezer's, son of Aaron, the priest will be responsible for the oil of the lamp
stand, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil.
In fact, zer will be responsible for the entire tabernacle and
everything in it, including the sanctuary and its furnishings.
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, do not let the Kohe clans be
destroyed from among the Levites.
This is what you must do so they will live and not die.
When they approach the most sacred objects, Aaron and his sons must
always go in with them and assign a specific duty or load to each person.
The Kohe fights must never enter the sanctuary to look at the sacred objects
for even a moment, or they will die.
And the Lord said to Moses, record the names of the members of the
Clans and families of the Gersen Night Division of the Tribe of Levi.
List all the men between the ages of 30 and 50 who are eligible
to serve in the tabernacle.
These Gersen night clans will be responsible for general
service and carrying loads.
They must carry the curtains of the tabernacle.
The tabernacle itself with its coverings, the outer covering of
fine goat, skin leather, and the curtain for the tabernacle entrance.
They are also to carry the curtains for the courtyard walls that surround the
tabernacle, andar the curtain across the courtyard entrance, the ropes, and
all the equipment related to their use.
The Gersen Knights are responsible for all these items.
Aaron and his sons will direct the Gersch Knights regarding all their duties.
Whether it involves moving the equipment or doing other work, they must assign
the Gersch Knight's responsibility for the loads they are to carry.
So these are the duties assigned to the Gersch Knight Clans at the Tabernacle.
They will be directly responsible to eMAR son of Aaron, the priest.
Now record the names of the members of the Clans and families of the Morra
Division of the Tribal Levi List.
All the men between the ages of 30 and 50 who are eligible
to serve in the Tabernacle.
Their only duty at the Tabernacle will be to carry loads.
They will carry the frames of the tabernacle, the crossbars,
the posts and the bases.
Also, the posts for the courtyard walls with their bases, pegs and ropes, and
all the accessories and everything else related to their use assign the
various loads to each man by name.
So these are the duties of the Morra clans at the Tabernacle.
They are directly responsible to eMAR, son of Aaron, the priest.
So Moses, Aaron, and the other leaders of the community listed the
members of the Coha Fight Division by their clans and families.
The list included all the men between 30 and 50 years of age who were
eligible for service in the Tabernacle, and the total number came to 2,750.
So this was the total of all those from the Kohe clans who were
eligible to serve at the Tabernacle.
Moses and Aaron listed them just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
The Gersen night division was also listed by its clans and families.
The list included all the men between 30 and 50 years of age who were
eligible for service in the Tabernacle, and the total number came to 2,630.
So this was the total of all those from the Ger Knight Clans who were
eligible to serve at the Tabernacle.
Moses and Aaron listed them just as the Lord had commanded.
The Morra division was also listed by its clans and families.
The list included all the men between 30 and 50 years of age who were
eligible for service in the tabernacle, and the total number came to 3,200.
So this was the total of all those from the Morra clans
who were eligible for service.
Moses and Aaron listed them just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel listed all the Levites
by their clans and families.
All the men between 30 and 50 years of age who were eligible for
service in the Tabernacle and for its transportation numbered 8,580.
When their names were recorded, as the Lord had commanded through
Moses, each man was assigned his task and told what to carry, and so
the registration was completed just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
