  1. We are in Numbers! :-D

    And it appears to be kicking off with something reminiscent to me of the draft, the numbering out of all the men (minus the clergy, so to speak).

    Hm!

  2. The Book of Numbers is aptly named. It starts with a census as Israel gets ready to leave Sinai, and ends with another as the people get ready to enter the Promised Land.

    When we get there, notice how similar the numbers are before and after 40 years in the wilderness.

  3. I was facinated by the redemption of the first born sons. That there were 273 more firstborns in all the people of Israel than just the Levites. And God provided a way for even those 273 to be redeemed.
