With this one I admit my eyes started glazing over again - oh no, here's those laws again...and it's the *same ones* rehashed too. But then just as I was sort of shaking my head over the 'jealousy laws' for the women accused of straying I hit the Nazarite vows (I wondered when that was first mentioned) and then a fine dollop of the very sweetest, the *Barocha*!
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Did they really leave everything on the table, just covering it with several layers? How did they carry it around without things falling off? I also found it interesting that those who were carrying the sacred objects could not look at them even for a moment. I also noticed that those who were to serve in the tabernacle and be responsible for it's transportation were to be 30-50 years of age. Certainly not the young men who would have been the strongest for bearing the many parts of the tabernacle. Yet these would be "mature" people who could be trusted to keep the parts of the tabernacle safe.
