Hi and welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.21\00:00:18.49
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
00:00:18.69\00:00:20.01
for joining with me to read
00:00:20.11\00:00:21.29
God's Word to us today.
00:00:21.39\00:00:22.76
We've been reading in Leviticus
and we are now into Numbers
00:00:22.86\00:00:25.90
with the story of the Israelites
00:00:26.10\00:00:28.09
and all of the very many, some-
times very minute instructions
00:00:28.19\00:00:31.75
that God would give to
them about the sanctuary
00:00:31.95\00:00:34.38
and the sacrifices and the
organization of their camp.
00:00:34.58\00:00:38.32
And every now and then as we're
reading we'll come to the phrase
00:00:38.52\00:00:41.15
that says something like
00:00:41.35\00:00:42.44
"And the Israelites did
all that God commanded them
00:00:42.64\00:00:45.67
through Moses. "
00:00:45.77\00:00:46.87
And every time
I read those words
00:00:47.07\00:00:48.62
I think how... how much I long
for those to be true in my life.
00:00:48.82\00:00:52.16
That Kelly Mowrer did
all that God commanded her.
00:00:52.36\00:00:55.32
And I know that's not true.
00:00:55.52\00:00:57.60
I know that I'm not perfect
in that and I can't do it
00:00:57.70\00:00:59.86
apart from God.
But that is my prayer,
00:00:59.96\00:01:01.54
and I think it's the
prayer of a lot of us here.
00:01:01.64\00:01:03.89
So before we begin
to read these words,
00:01:04.09\00:01:05.48
let's pray together.
00:01:05.68\00:01:07.02
Dear God, We want
so much for those words
00:01:07.22\00:01:11.20
to be true of each of us...
00:01:11.30\00:01:12.78
that we would do all
that You would command us.
00:01:12.88\00:01:15.07
And we can't do
that in our own strength.
00:01:15.27\00:01:17.88
You are the Vine, and
we are the branches...
00:01:18.08\00:01:20.33
and apart from
You we can do nothing.
00:01:20.43\00:01:21.94
So please take
these words and use them
00:01:22.14\00:01:25.11
to connect us closer to You.
00:01:25.31\00:01:28.39
So that we may not
just tell You we love You
00:01:28.59\00:01:31.21
but show You we love
You by obeying Your words.
00:01:31.32\00:01:34.74
Thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:01:34.94\00:01:37.34
We are reading in
the book of Numbers.

It's referring back
to the tribe of Judah
00:01:44.10\00:01:47.92

These are those that

But the Levites were not
numbered among the children
00:05:42.57\00:05:45.48
of Israel; as the
Lord commanded Moses.
00:05:45.58\00:05:48.41
And the children of
Israel did according to all
00:05:48.61\00:05:52.43
that the Lord commanded Moses:
00:05:52.53\00:05:54.39
so they pitched
by their standards,
00:05:54.59\00:05:56.67
and so they set forward,
every one after their families,
00:05:56.87\00:06:00.00
according to the
house of their fathers.
00:06:00.20\00:06:02.65
We are reading in the
book of Numbers chapter 3.
00:06:02.85\00:06:06.25
This is the King James version.
00:06:06.38\00:06:08.03
These also are the
generations of Aaron and Moses
00:06:08.23\00:06:12.24
in the day that the Lord
spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
00:06:12.44\00:06:15.40
And these are the
names of the sons of Aaron;
00:06:15.60\00:06:18.69
Nadab the first-born, and
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
00:06:18.89\00:06:23.65
These are the names
of the sons of Aaron,
00:06:23.85\00:06:26.03
the priests which were anointed,
00:06:26.13\00:06:27.71
whom he consecrated to
minister in the priest's office.
00:06:27.92\00:06:31.10
And Nadab and Abihu
died before the Lord,
00:06:31.30\00:06:34.26
when they offered
strange fire before the Lord,
00:06:34.46\00:06:36.73
in the wilderness of
Sinai, and they had no children:
00:06:36.93\00:06:39.66
and Eleazar and Ithamar
ministered in the priest's
00:06:39.86\00:06:43.13
office in the sight
of Aaron their father.
00:06:43.24\00:06:45.28
And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
00:06:45.48\00:06:47.58
Bring the tribe of Levi near,
and present them before Aaron
00:06:47.78\00:06:51.92
the priest, that they
may minister unto him.
00:06:52.02\00:06:54.97
And they shall keep his charge
00:06:55.17\00:06:57.34
and the charge of the
whole congregation before the
00:06:57.44\00:06:59.53
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:06:59.63\00:07:01.14
to do the service
of the tabernacle.
00:07:01.34\00:07:03.88
And they shall keep all the
instruments of the tabernacle
00:07:04.09\00:07:07.15
of the congregation, and the
charge of the children of Israel
00:07:07.25\00:07:09.76
to do the service
of the tabernacle.
00:07:09.86\00:07:12.20
And thou shalt give the Levites
unto Aaron and to his sons:
00:07:12.40\00:07:15.99
they are wholly given unto him
out of the children of Israel.
00:07:16.19\00:07:19.07
And thou shalt
appoint Aaron and his sons,
00:07:19.27\00:07:21.83
and they shall wait
on their priest's office:
00:07:21.94\00:07:24.34
and the stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death.
00:07:24.44\00:07:27.79
And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
00:07:28.00\00:07:31.54
"And I, behold, I have taken the
Levites from among the children
00:07:31.74\00:07:35.18
of Israel instead of all
the first-born that openeth
00:07:35.28\00:07:37.57
the matrix among
the children of Israel:
00:07:37.67\00:07:39.71
therefore the
Levites shall be Mine;
00:07:39.91\00:07:42.10
because all the
first-born are Mine;
00:07:42.31\00:07:44.39
for on the day that I
smote all the first-born in the
00:07:44.59\00:07:46.57
land of Egypt I hallowed unto
Me all the first-born in Israel,
00:07:46.67\00:07:50.30
both man and
beast: Mine shall they be:
00:07:50.50\00:07:53.44
I am the Lord. "
00:07:53.64\00:07:55.33
And the Lord spake unto Moses
in the wilderness of Sinai,
00:07:55.53\00:07:58.86
saying, "Number
the children of Levi
00:07:59.06\00:08:01.71
after the house of their
fathers, by their families:
00:08:01.81\00:08:04.29
every male from a month old and
upward shalt thou number them. "
00:08:04.49\00:08:08.88
And Moses numbered
them according to the word
00:08:08.91\00:08:11.47
of the Lord as he was commanded.
00:08:11.58\00:08:13.07
And these were the
sons of Levi by their names;
00:08:13.27\00:08:15.98
Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
00:08:16.18\00:08:19.35
And these are the
names of the sons of Gershon
00:08:19.55\00:08:21.72
by their
families; Libni, and Shimei.
00:08:21.82\00:08:24.43
And the sons of
Kohath by their families;

And the sons of
Merari by their families;

are the families of the Levites
00:08:33.25\00:08:36.52
according to the
house of their fathers.
00:08:36.73\00:08:38.39

these are the
families of the Gershonites.
00:08:42.92\00:08:44.67
Those that were
numbered of them,

according to the
number of all the males,
00:08:46.88\00:08:48.34
from a month old and upward,
even those that were numbered
00:08:48.54\00:08:51.31
of them were seven
thousand and five hundred.
00:08:51.42\00:08:53.87
The families of the Gershonites
00:08:54.07\00:08:56.17
shall pitch behind
the tabernacle westward.
00:08:56.38\00:08:59.08
And the chief of the house
of the father of the Gershonites
00:08:59.28\00:09:02.64
shall be
Eliasaph the son of Lael.
00:09:02.84\00:09:05.46
And the charge of the sons
of Gershon in the tabernacle
00:09:05.66\00:09:08.76
of the congregation shall be
the tabernacle, and the tent,
00:09:08.86\00:09:12.69
the covering thereof,
and the hangings for the door
00:09:12.89\00:09:15.20
of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
00:09:15.30\00:09:17.00
And the hangings of the court,
and the curtain for the door
00:09:17.20\00:09:20.40
of the court, which
is by the tabernacle,
00:09:20.50\00:09:22.76
and by the altar round about,
00:09:22.96\00:09:24.52
and the cords of it for
all the service thereof.
00:09:24.63\00:09:26.93

these are the
families of the Kohathites.

In the number of all the males,

these are the

And those that were numbered

throughout their families,

and upward, were
twenty and two thousand.
00:11:40.58\00:11:44.02
And the Lord said unto Moses,
00:11:44.22\00:11:46.18
"Number all the first-born
of the males of the children of
00:11:46.38\00:11:49.04
Israel from a
month old and upward,
00:11:49.14\00:11:51.07
and take the
number of their names.
00:11:51.27\00:11:52.80
And thou shalt take the
Levites for Me - I am the Lord -
00:11:53.01\00:11:56.36
instead of all the first-born
among the children of Israel;
00:11:56.59\00:11:59.79
and the cattle of the Levites
instead of all the firstlings
00:12:00.90\00:12:03.24
among the cattle of
the children of Israel.
00:12:03.34\00:12:05.49
And Moses numbered, as
the Lord commanded him,
00:12:05.69\00:12:08.48
all the first-born
among the children of Israel.
00:12:08.68\00:12:11.54
And all the first-born
males by the number of names,
00:12:11.75\00:12:15.08
from a month old and upward,
of those that were numbered
00:12:15.28\00:12:18.85
of them, were twenty
and two thousand two hundred
00:12:19.05\00:12:22.05
and threescore and thirteen.
00:12:22.15\00:12:24.41
And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
00:12:24.61\00:12:26.92
"Take the Levites instead
of all the first-born among the
00:12:27.13\00:12:29.30
children of Israel, and
the cattle of the Levites
00:12:29.40\00:12:31.42
instead of their cattle,
and the Levites shall be Mine:
00:12:31.53\00:12:34.68
I am the Lord.
00:12:34.88\00:12:36.77
And for those that are to
be redeemed of the two hundred
00:12:36.97\00:12:39.96
and three score and
thirteen of the first-born
00:12:40.06\00:12:42.81
of the children of Israel,
which are more than the Levites;
00:12:42.91\00:12:45.42
Thou salt even take five
shekels apiece by the poll,
00:12:45.62\00:12:50.04
after the shekel of the
sanctuary shalt thou take them:
00:12:50.24\00:12:53.04
the shekel is twenty gerahs.
00:12:53.24\00:12:55.28
And thou shalt give the money,
wherewith the odd number of them
00:12:55.47\00:12:58.74
is to be redeemed, unto
Aaron and to his sons. "
00:12:58.84\00:13:02.54
And Moses took
the redemption money
00:13:02.74\00:13:05.17
of them that were over and
above them that were redeemed
00:13:05.37\00:13:08.18
by the Levites: Of the first-
born of the children of Israel
00:13:08.28\00:13:11.80
took he the money; a
thousand three hundred
00:13:11.90\00:13:14.68
and threescore and five shekels,
00:13:14.78\00:13:16.17
after the shekel
of the sanctuary.
00:13:16.27\00:13:18.02
And Moses gave the money
of them that were redeemed
00:13:18.23\00:13:21.07
unto Aaron and to his
sons, according to the word of
00:13:21.27\00:13:24.46
the Lord, as the
Lord commanded Moses.
00:13:24.56\00:13:27.76
We are continuing in the book
00:13:28.06\00:13:29.37
of Numbers with chapter 4.
00:13:29.47\00:13:31.45
This is the King James version.
00:13:31.65\00:13:33.19
And the Lord spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
00:13:33.40\00:13:38.29
"Take the sum of the sons
of Kohath from among the sons
00:13:38.49\00:13:41.76
of Levi, after their families,
by the house of their fathers,
00:13:41.86\00:13:44.71
From thirty years old and upward
even until fifty years old,
00:13:44.74\00:13:48.29
all that enter into the host,
to do the work in the tabernacle
00:13:48.49\00:13:52.03
of the congregation.
00:13:52.14\00:13:53.29
This shall be the
service of the sons of Kohath
00:13:53.49\00:13:56.08
in the tabernacle
of the congregation,
00:13:56.29\00:13:57.87
about the most holy things:
00:13:58.07\00:13:59.90
And when the camp setteth
forward, Aaron shall come,
00:14:00.10\00:14:03.35
and his sons, and they shall
take down the covering veil,
00:14:03.55\00:14:07.00
and cover the ark
of testimony with it:
00:14:07.20\00:14:09.30
And shall put thereon the
covering of badgers' skins,
00:14:09.50\00:14:12.78
and shall spread over
it a cloth wholly of blue,
00:14:12.98\00:14:16.72
and shall put in
the staves thereof.
00:14:16.92\00:14:19.17
And upon the table of showbread
they shall spread a cloth of
00:14:19.37\00:14:22.17
blue, and put thereon
the dishes, and the spoons,
00:14:22.27\00:14:25.61
and the bowls, and
covers to cover withal:
00:14:25.81\00:14:28.70
and the continual
bread shall be thereon:
