00:16 Hi and welcome back to His Words Are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
00:20 for joining with me to read
00:21 God's Word to us today.
00:22 We've been reading in Leviticus and we are now into Numbers
00:26 with the story of the Israelites
00:28 and all of the very many, some- times very minute instructions
00:31 that God would give to them about the sanctuary
00:34 and the sacrifices and the organization of their camp.
00:38 And every now and then as we're reading we'll come to the phrase
00:41 that says something like
00:42 "And the Israelites did all that God commanded them
00:45 through Moses. "
00:47 And every time I read those words
00:48 I think how... how much I long for those to be true in my life.
00:52 That Kelly Mowrer did all that God commanded her.
00:55 And I know that's not true.
00:57 I know that I'm not perfect in that and I can't do it
00:59 apart from God. But that is my prayer,
01:01 and I think it's the prayer of a lot of us here.
01:04 So before we begin to read these words,
01:05 let's pray together.
01:07 Dear God, We want so much for those words
01:11 to be true of each of us...
01:12 that we would do all that You would command us.
01:15 And we can't do that in our own strength.
01:18 You are the Vine, and we are the branches...
01:20 and apart from You we can do nothing.
01:22 So please take these words and use them
01:25 to connect us closer to You.
01:28 So that we may not just tell You we love You
01:31 but show You we love You by obeying Your words.
01:34 Thank you for loving us. Amen.
01:37 We are reading in the book of Numbers.
01:39 We are in chapter 2 and beginning with verse 4.
01:42 And this is the King James version.
01:44 It's referring back to the tribe of Judah
01:48 as we are picking this up...

05:29 These are those that were numbered of the children
05:32 of Israel by the house of their fathers:
05:34 all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts
05:38 were six hundred thousand and three thousand
05:41 and five hundred and fifty.
05:42 But the Levites were not numbered among the children
05:45 of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.
05:48 And the children of Israel did according to all
05:52 that the Lord commanded Moses:
05:54 so they pitched by their standards,
05:56 and so they set forward, every one after their families,
06:00 according to the house of their fathers.
06:02 We are reading in the book of Numbers chapter 3.
06:06 This is the King James version.
06:08 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses
06:12 in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
06:15 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron;
06:18 Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
06:23 These are the names of the sons of Aaron,
06:26 the priests which were anointed,
06:27 whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
06:31 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord,
06:34 when they offered strange fire before the Lord,
06:36 in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children:
06:39 and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's
06:43 office in the sight of Aaron their father.
06:45 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
06:47 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
06:52 the priest, that they may minister unto him.
06:55 And they shall keep his charge
06:57 and the charge of the whole congregation before the
06:59 tabernacle of the congregation,
07:01 to do the service of the tabernacle.
07:04 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle
07:07 of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel
07:09 to do the service of the tabernacle.
07:12 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons:
07:16 they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
07:19 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons,
07:21 and they shall wait on their priest's office:
07:24 and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
07:28 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
07:31 "And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children
07:35 of Israel instead of all the first-born that openeth
07:37 the matrix among the children of Israel:
07:39 therefore the Levites shall be Mine;
07:42 because all the first-born are Mine;
07:44 for on the day that I smote all the first-born in the
07:46 land of Egypt I hallowed unto Me all the first-born in Israel,
07:50 both man and beast: Mine shall they be:
07:53 I am the Lord. "
07:55 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
07:59 saying, "Number the children of Levi
08:01 after the house of their fathers, by their families:
08:04 every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. "
08:08 And Moses numbered them according to the word
08:11 of the Lord as he was commanded.
08:13 And these were the sons of Levi by their names;
08:16 Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
08:19 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon
08:21 by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
08:24 And the sons of Kohath by their families;
08:27 Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
08:30 And the sons of Merari by their families;
08:33 Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
08:36 according to the house of their fathers.
08:38 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites,
08:41 and the family of the Shimites:
08:42 these are the families of the Gershonites.
08:44 Those that were numbered of them,
08:46 according to the number of all the males,
08:48 from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered
08:51 of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
08:54 The families of the Gershonites
08:56 shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
08:59 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites
09:02 shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
09:05 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle
09:08 of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent,
09:12 the covering thereof, and the hangings for the door
09:15 of the tabernacle of the congregation.
09:17 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door
09:20 of the court, which is by the tabernacle,
09:22 and by the altar round about,
09:24 and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
09:27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites,
09:31 and the family of the Izeharites,
09:33 and the family of the Hebronites,
09:35 and the family of the Uzzielites:
09:37 these are the families of the Kohathites.
09:39 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward,
09:44 were eight thousand, and six hundred,
09:46 keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
09:49 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch
09:52 on the side of the tabernacle southward.
09:55 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
09:59 the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
10:03 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table,
10:06 and the candlestick, and the altars,
10:09 and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister,
10:12 and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
10:15 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief
10:20 over the chief of the Levites,
10:22 and have the oversight of them
10:24 that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
10:26 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites,
10:29 and the family of the Mushites:
10:31 these are the families of Merari.
10:33 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number
10:36 of all the males, from a month old and upward,
10:39 were six thousand and two hundred.
10:42 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of
10:45 Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail:
10:49 these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
10:52 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari
10:56 shall be the boards of the tabernacle,
10:59 and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof,
11:02 and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof,
11:05 and all that serveth thereto,
11:06 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets,
11:10 and their pins, and their cords.
11:12 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east,
11:16 even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward,
11:20 shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons,
11:22 keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the
11:26 children of Israel;
11:27 and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11:31 All that were numbered of the Levites,
11:34 which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord,
11:37 throughout their families, all the males from a month old
11:40 and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
11:44 And the Lord said unto Moses,
11:46 "Number all the first-born of the males of the children of
11:49 Israel from a month old and upward,
11:51 and take the number of their names.
11:53 And thou shalt take the Levites for Me - I am the Lord -
11:56 instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel;
12:00 and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings
12:03 among the cattle of the children of Israel.
12:05 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him,
12:08 all the first-born among the children of Israel.
12:11 And all the first-born males by the number of names,
12:15 from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered
12:19 of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred
12:22 and threescore and thirteen.
12:24 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12:27 "Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the
12:29 children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites
12:31 instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be Mine:
12:34 I am the Lord.
12:36 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred
12:40 and three score and thirteen of the first-born
12:42 of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
12:45 Thou salt even take five shekels apiece by the poll,
12:50 after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them:
12:53 the shekel is twenty gerahs.
12:55 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them
12:58 is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. "
13:02 And Moses took the redemption money
13:05 of them that were over and above them that were redeemed
13:08 by the Levites: Of the first- born of the children of Israel
13:11 took he the money; a thousand three hundred
13:14 and threescore and five shekels,
13:16 after the shekel of the sanctuary.
13:18 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed
13:21 unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of
13:24 the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
13:28 We are continuing in the book
13:29 of Numbers with chapter 4.
13:31 This is the King James version.
13:33 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
13:38 "Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons
13:41 of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
13:44 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
13:48 all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle
13:52 of the congregation.
13:53 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath
13:56 in the tabernacle of the congregation,
13:58 about the most holy things:
14:00 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come,
14:03 and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil,
14:07 and cover the ark of testimony with it:
14:09 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins,
14:12 and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue,
14:16 and shall put in the staves thereof.
14:19 And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of
14:22 blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons,
14:25 and the bowls, and covers to cover withal:
14:28 and the continual bread shall be thereon:
14:31 Thank you for joining with me to read the Bible this time.
14:35 Please come again the next time
14:36 to read the wonderful words of God to us. Goodbye.
