Hi, and welcome back
to His Words are Life.
00:00:15.50\00:00:17.53
I'm Kelly Mower and thank
you for joining with me to read
00:00:17.56\00:00:19.78
God's Word today. When we were
last together we were reading in
00:00:19.81\00:00:22.97
Numbers about the way that God
had laid out the order of the
00:00:23.00\00:00:26.55
Camp and where the different
tribes were to camp, and
00:00:26.58\00:00:28.59
how the Levites were in charge
of the sanctuary, and He's now
00:00:28.62\00:00:32.59
giving some instruction
as to how the Sanctuary
00:00:33.51\00:00:36.18
and the Most Holy things are to
be moved. As I proceed forward
00:00:36.21\00:00:39.67
just when we were last together
we were reading that Aaron and
00:00:39.70\00:00:43.28
his sons were responsible
for covering and preparing
00:00:43.31\00:00:46.62
the things within the Most
Holy place for the Levites to
00:00:46.65\00:00:49.86
transport them. Before
we pick up reading again,
00:00:49.89\00:00:52.14
Let's pray together.
00:00:52.17\00:00:53.14
Dear Jesus, thank you so
very much for this opportunity
00:00:53.16\00:00:57.06
to come and to read your Words.
Please may we, in these stories
00:00:57.09\00:01:01.06
of things so long ago, find the
truth that you would have us to
00:01:01.10\00:01:04.78
hear today to help us to
serve You better and to serve
00:01:04.81\00:01:08.29
each other better and to
grow closer to You. We love you
00:01:08.32\00:01:10.90
so much. And thank
You for loving us. Amen.
00:01:10.93\00:01:13.46
Again we're reading in the book
of Numbers Chapter 4, picking up
00:01:13.49\00:01:17.45
with verse 8. And they shall
spread upon them a cloth of
00:01:17.48\00:01:21.45
scarlet and cover the same with
a covering of badger skins and
00:01:21.66\00:01:25.65
shall put in the stays, thereof.
And they shall take a cloth of
00:01:25.68\00:01:28.63
blue and cover the Candlestick
of the light and his lamps,
00:01:28.66\00:01:32.44
his tongs and his snuff dishes,
and all the oil vessels thereof,
00:01:32.47\00:01:35.78
wherewith they minister unto it;
And they shall put it and all
00:01:35.81\00:01:39.57
the vessels thereof within
a covering of badgers' skins,
00:01:39.60\00:01:42.75
and shall put it upon a bar. And
upon the golden alter they shall
00:01:42.78\00:01:49.37
spread a cloth of blue,
and cover it with a covering of
00:01:49.41\00:01:52.01
badgers' skins and
shall to the staves thereof:
00:01:52.04\00:01:55.39
And they shall take all
the instruments of ministry
00:01:55.42\00:01:57.64
wherewith they minister in
the sanctuary and put them in a
00:01:57.67\00:02:00.90
cloth of blue, and cover
them with a covering of badgers'
00:02:00.93\00:02:04.33
skins, and shall put them on
a bar: And they shall take away
00:02:04.36\00:02:07.52
the ashes from the altar, and
spread a purple cloth thereon:
00:02:07.55\00:02:11.52
And they shall put upon it all
the vessels thereof, wherewith
00:02:11.63\00:02:15.10
they minister about it, even the
censers, the fleshhooks and the
00:02:15.13\00:02:19.10
shovels, and the basins,
all the vessels of the altar;
00:02:19.37\00:02:22.50
and they shall spread upon
it a covering of badgers' skins
00:02:22.53\00:02:26.38
and put to the staves of
it. And when Aaron and his sons
00:02:26.41\00:02:30.38
have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the vessels
00:02:30.78\00:02:34.78
of the sanctuary, as the camp
is to set forward; after that
00:02:34.87\00:02:38.87
the sons of Kohath shall come
to bear it: but they shall not
00:02:39.21\00:02:43.21
touch any holy thing, lest they
die. These things are the burden
00:02:43.57\00:02:49.35
of the sons of Kohath in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
00:02:49.39\00:02:53.22
And to the office of Eleazar
the son of Aaron the priest,
00:02:53.25\00:02:57.22
pertaineth the oil for the
light and the sweet incense,
00:02:57.77\00:03:01.13
and the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil,
00:03:01.16\00:03:04.13
and the oversight of all
the tabernacle, and of all
00:03:04.16\00:03:07.97
that therein is, in the
sanctuary, and in the vessels
00:03:08.00\00:03:11.97
thereof. And the Lord
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
00:03:12.24\00:03:15.87
saying, Cut ye not off
the tribe of the families
00:03:15.90\00:03:19.25
of the Kohathites from among the
Levites: But thus do unto them
00:03:19.28\00:03:23.96
that they may live and not die,
when they approach unto the most
00:03:23.99\00:03:27.41
holy things. Aaron and his sons
shall go in and appoint them
00:03:27.44\00:03:32.30
every one to his service and to
his burden: But they shall not
00:03:32.33\00:03:36.88
go in to see when the
holy things are covered,
00:03:36.91\00:03:39.68
lest they die. And the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
00:03:39.71\00:03:44.28
take also the sum of the sons
of Gershon throughout the houses
00:03:44.31\00:03:47.77
of their fathers, by their
families; From thirty years old
00:03:47.80\00:03:51.33
and upward unto fifty years
old shalt thou number them;
00:03:51.36\00:03:54.57
all that enter in to perform the
service, to do the work in the
00:03:54.60\00:03:57.72
tabernacle of the congregation.
This is the service of the
00:03:57.75\00:04:01.28
families of the Gershonites,
to serve and for burdens.
00:04:01.31\00:04:05.51
And they shall bear the curtains
of the tabernacle, and the
00:04:05.54\00:04:09.32
tabernacle of the congregation,
his covering, and the covering
00:04:09.35\00:04:11.91
of the badgers' skins that is
above upon it, and the hanging
00:04:11.94\00:04:15.54
for the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:04:15.57\00:04:17.99
and the hangings of the court,
the hanging for the door of the
00:04:18.02\00:04:20.93
gate of the court, which is by
the tabernacle and by the altar
00:04:20.96\00:04:24.26
round about, and their cords,
and all the instruments of their
00:04:24.29\00:04:27.09
service and all that is made
for them: so shall they serve.
00:04:27.12\00:04:30.65
At the appointment of
Aaron and his sons shall be all
00:04:30.68\00:04:33.79
the service of the
sons of the Gershonites,
00:04:33.82\00:04:35.79
in all their burdens,
and in all their service:
00:04:35.82\00:04:38.60
and ye shall appoint unto them
in charge all their burdens.
00:04:38.63\00:04:42.54
This is the service of
families of the sons of Gershon
00:04:42.57\00:04:46.70
in the tabernacle
of the congregation:
00:04:46.73\00:04:48.39
and their charge
shall be under the hand
00:04:48.43\00:04:50.19
of Ithamar, the son
of Aaron, the priest.
00:04:50.22\00:04:52.51
As for the sons of Merari, thou
shalt number them after their
00:04:52.54\00:04:56.79
families by the house of their
fathers, from 30 years old and
00:04:56.82\00:05:00.00
upward, even unto 50 years
old shalt thou number them,
00:05:00.03\00:05:03.10
everyone that entereth into the
service to do the work of the
00:05:03.13\00:05:06.54
tabernacle of the congregation.
And this is the charge of their
00:05:06.57\00:05:09.99
their burden according to all
their service in the tabernacle
00:05:10.02\00:05:12.84
of the congregation;
the boards of the tabernacle
00:05:12.87\00:05:15.50
and the bars thereof, and the
pillars thereof and the sockets
00:05:15.53\00:05:18.16
thereof, and the pillars
of the court round about,
00:05:18.19\00:05:21.49
and their sockets, and
their pins, and their cords,
00:05:21.52\00:05:25.27
with all their instruments,
and with all their service:
00:05:25.30\00:05:27.96
and by name ye shall reckon
the instruments of the charge
00:05:27.99\00:05:31.49
of their burden. This is
the service of the families
00:05:31.52\00:05:35.73
of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service,
00:05:35.76\00:05:38.56
in the tabernacle of the
congregation, under the hand of
00:05:38.59\00:05:41.45
Ithamar, the son
of Aaron, the priest.
00:05:41.48\00:05:44.16
And Moses and Aaron, and
the chief of the congregation,
00:05:44.19\00:05:47.71
numbered the sons of the
Kohathites after their families,
00:05:47.74\00:05:50.89
and after the house of
their fathers, from 30 years old
00:05:50.92\00:05:54.21
and upward, even unto 50 years
old, every one that entereth
00:05:54.24\00:05:57.85
into the service for
the work in the tabernacle
00:05:57.88\00:06:00.40
of the congregation. And those
that were numbered of them by
00:06:00.43\00:06:04.29
their families, were
2,750. These were they that were
00:06:04.32\00:06:10.79
numbered of the families of the
Kohathites, all that might do
00:06:10.82\00:06:13.94
service in the tabernacle of
the congregation, which Moses
00:06:13.97\00:06:17.68
and Aaron did number, according
to the commandment of the Lord,
00:06:17.71\00:06:21.52
by the hand of Moses. And those
that were numbered of the sons
00:06:21.55\00:06:25.60
of Gershon, throughout their
families, by the house of their
00:06:25.63\00:06:28.47
fathers, from 30 years old and
upward even unto 50 years old,
00:06:28.50\00:06:32.39
everyone that entereth
into the service of the work
00:06:32.42\00:06:35.51
in the tabernacle of
the congregation, even those
00:06:35.54\00:06:38.44
that were numbered of
them throughout their families
00:06:38.47\00:06:40.37
by the house of
their fathers, were 2,630.
00:06:40.40\00:06:45.73
These are they that
were numbered of the families
00:06:45.76\00:06:49.66
of the sons of Gershon, of
all that might do service in the
00:06:49.69\00:06:53.98
tabernacle of the congregation,
whom Moses and Aaron did number
00:06:54.01\00:06:57.63
according to the
commandment of the Lord.
00:06:57.66\00:06:58.63
And those that were numbered
of the families of the sons of
00:06:58.66\00:07:02.66
Merari, throughout their
families, by the house of their
00:07:02.69\00:07:05.49
fathers, from 30 years old and
upward, even unto 50 years old,
00:07:05.52\00:07:09.34
every one that entereth
into the service for the work in
00:07:09.37\00:07:12.99
the tabernacle of the
congregation, even those
00:07:13.02\00:07:15.96
that were numbered of
them, after their families,
00:07:15.99\00:07:18.18
were 3,200. These be those that
were numbered of the families of
00:07:18.21\00:07:24.03
the sons of Merari, whom
Moses and Aaron numbered,
00:07:24.06\00:07:27.32
according to the word of
the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
00:07:27.35\00:07:30.37
All those that were numbered
of the Levites, whom Moses
00:07:30.40\00:07:34.05
and Aaron and the chief of
Israel numbered, after their
00:07:34.08\00:07:37.06
families and after the house of
their fathers, from 30 years old
00:07:37.09\00:07:40.00
and upward, even unto 50 years
old, every one that came to
00:07:40.03\00:07:43.70
do the service of the ministry,
and the service of the burden,
00:07:43.73\00:07:47.09
in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
00:07:47.12\00:07:48.79
Even those that were numbered
of them were eight thousand and
00:07:48.82\00:07:52.99
five hundred and fourscore.
According to the commandment
00:07:53.02\00:07:56.93
of the Lord, they were numbered
by the hand of Moses, every one
00:07:56.96\00:08:00.38
according to his service,
and according to his burden.
00:08:00.41\00:08:03.34
Thus were they numbered of
him as the Lord commanded Moses.
00:08:03.37\00:08:07.37
We are continuing to
read in the book of Numbers,
00:08:07.40\00:08:11.04
Chapter five and this
is the King James version.
00:08:11.07\00:08:13.76
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Command the children
00:08:13.79\00:08:17.85
of Israel, that they put
out of the camp every leper,
00:08:17.88\00:08:21.44
and every one that has an issue,
and whosoever is defiled by the
00:08:21.47\00:08:25.30
dead: Both male and
female shall ye put out, without
00:08:25.33\00:08:27.86
the camp, shall ye put them;
that they defile not their camps
00:08:27.89\00:08:31.26
in the midst whereof I dwell.
And the children of Israel
00:08:31.29\00:08:35.03
did so, and put them
out without the camp:
00:08:35.06\00:08:37.67
as the Lord spake unto Moses,
so did the children of Israel.
00:08:37.70\00:08:41.34
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children
00:08:41.37\00:08:46.28
of Israel, when a man or
woman shall commit any sin that
00:08:46.31\00:08:50.83
men commit, to do a trespass
against the Lord and that person
00:08:50.86\00:08:54.94
be guilty; then they
shall confess their sin,
00:08:54.97\00:08:58.40
which they have done; and he
shall recompense his trespass
00:08:58.43\00:09:02.28
with the principal thereof,
and add unto it the fifth part
00:09:02.31\00:09:05.55
thereof, and give it unto him
against whom he hath trespassed.
00:09:05.58\00:09:10.21
But if the man who had
no kinsman to recompense
00:09:10.24\00:09:13.97
the trespass unto, let
the trespass be recompensed
00:09:14.00\00:09:17.21
unto the Lord, even to the
priest; beside the ram of the
00:09:17.24\00:09:21.57
atonement, whereby an
atonement shall be made for him.
00:09:21.60\00:09:24.14
And every offering of all
the holy things of the children
00:09:24.17\00:09:28.08
of Israel, which they bring
unto the priest shall be his.
00:09:28.11\00:09:32.08
And every man's hallowed things
shall be his: whatsoever any man
00:09:32.11\00:09:35.88
giveth the
priest, it shall be his.
00:09:35.91\00:09:37.51
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children
00:09:37.54\00:09:41.39
of Israel, and say unto them,
If any man's wife go aside,
00:09:41.42\00:09:45.83
and commit a trespass against
him, and a man lie with her
00:09:45.86\00:09:49.91
carnally, and it be hid
from the eyes of her husband,
00:09:49.94\00:09:53.20
and be kept close, and she be
defiled and there be no witness
00:09:53.23\00:09:58.14
against her, neither she
be taken with the manner;
00:09:58.17\00:10:01.49
and the spirit of jealousy
come upon him and he be jealous
00:10:01.52\00:10:05.08
of his wife, and she be defiled:
or if the spirit of jealousy
00:10:05.11\00:10:09.24
come upon him, and he be jealous
of his wife, and she be not
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.68
defiled: Then shall the man
bring his wife unto the priest,
00:10:12.71\00:10:17.08
and he shall bring her
offering for her, the tenth part
00:10:17.11\00:10:20.50
of an ephah of barley meal;
he shall pour no oil upon it,
00:10:20.53\00:10:24.74
nor put frankincense
thereon; for it is an offering
00:10:24.77\00:10:27.77
of jealousy, an offering
of memorial, bringing iniquity
00:10:27.80\00:10:31.92
to remembrance. And the
priest shall bring her near,
00:10:31.95\00:10:35.30
and set her before the Lord. And
the priest shall take holy water
00:10:35.33\00:10:38.51
in an earthen vessel and of
the dust that is in the floor
00:10:38.54\00:10:42.32
of the tabernacle, the priest
shall take and put it into
00:10:42.35\00:10:45.90
the water. And the priest shall
put the woman before the Lord,
00:10:45.93\00:10:49.81
and uncover the woman's head
and put the offering of memorial
00:10:49.84\00:10:52.72
in her hands, which
is the jealousy offering:
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.73
and the priest shall have
in his hand the bitter water
00:10:55.76\00:10:59.19
that causeth the curse.
And the priest shall charge her
00:10:59.22\00:11:02.89
by an oath, and say
unto the woman, If no man
00:11:02.92\00:11:05.69
have lain with thee, and
if thou hast not gone aside
00:11:05.72\00:11:09.09
to uncleanness with
another instead of thy husband,
00:11:09.12\00:11:11.98
be thou free from this bitter
water that causeth the curse.
00:11:12.01\00:11:17.00
But if thou hast gone aside to
another instead of thy husband
00:11:17.03\00:11:21.49
and if thou be defiled and some
man has lain with the beside thy
00:11:21.52\00:11:25.28
husband, then the priest shall
charge the woman with an oath
00:11:25.31\00:11:28.83
of cursing and the
priest shall say unto the woman,
00:11:28.86\00:11:31.14
The Lord make thee a curse
and and oath among thy people,
00:11:31.17\00:11:35.58
when the Lord doth make
thy thigh to rot and thy belly
00:11:35.61\00:11:38.76
to swell; And this
water that causeth the curse
00:11:38.79\00:11:42.28
shall go into thy bowels to make
thy belly to swell and thy thigh
00:11:42.31\00:11:45.43
to rot; and the
woman shall say Amen, amen.
00:11:45.46\00:11:49.85
And the priest shall
write these curses in a book,
00:11:49.88\00:11:52.82
and he shall blot them
out with the bitter water:
00:11:52.85\00:11:55.30
and he shall cause the woman
to drink the bitter water that
00:11:55.33\00:11:58.64
causeth the curse: and the
water that causeth the curse
00:11:58.67\00:12:01.73
shall enter into her and become
bitter. Then the priest shall
00:12:01.76\00:12:05.43
take the jealousy offering
out of the woman's hand,
00:12:05.46\00:12:07.66
and shall wave the
offering before the Lord,
00:12:07.69\00:12:10.35
and offer it upon the altar: and
the priest shall take a handful
00:12:10.38\00:12:14.38
of the offering,
even the memorial thereof,
00:12:14.41\00:12:16.65
and burn it upon the altar, and
afterward shall cause the woman
00:12:16.68\00:12:19.36
to drink the water. And when he
hath made her to drink the water
00:12:19.39\00:12:22.90
then it shall come to pass, that
if she be defiled, and have done
00:12:22.93\00:12:27.03
trespass against her husband,
that the water that causeth the
00:12:27.06\00:12:30.51
curse shall enter into her
and become bitter, and her belly
00:12:30.54\00:12:34.05
shall swell and her thigh shall
rot, and the woman shall be
00:12:34.08\00:12:37.28
cursed among her people.
And if the woman be not defiled,
00:12:37.31\00:12:41.71
but be clean, then she shall
be free and shall conceive seed.
00:12:41.74\00:12:46.93
This is the law of jealousies,
when a wife goeth aside
00:12:46.96\00:12:50.74
to another instead of
her husband and is defiled;
00:12:50.77\00:12:54.39
or when the spirit of
jealousy cometh upon him,
00:12:54.42\00:12:57.08
and he be jealous over his wife,
and shall set the woman before
00:12:57.11\00:13:00.49
the Lord, and the priest shall
execute upon her all this law.
00:13:00.52\00:13:05.06
Then shall the man be guiltless
from iniquity, and this woman
00:13:05.09\00:13:09.22
shall bear her iniquity.
00:13:09.25\00:13:10.89
We are continuing to read in the
book of Numbers, Chapter six,
00:13:10.92\00:13:15.14
King James Version.
00:13:15.17\00:13:16.36
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children
00:13:16.39\00:13:21.08
of Israel and say unto
them, When either man or woman
00:13:21.11\00:13:24.20
shall separate themselves
to vow a vow of a Nazarite,
00:13:24.23\00:13:28.71
to separate themselves unto the
Lord, he shall separate himself
00:13:28.74\00:13:32.21
from wine and strong drink, and
shall drink no vinegar of wine
00:13:32.24\00:13:36.80
or vinegar of strong
drink, neither shall he drink
00:13:36.83\00:13:40.03
any liquor of grapes nor
eat moist grapes or dried.
00:13:40.06\00:13:43.90
All the days of his separation
shall he eat nothing that is
00:13:43.93\00:13:47.82
made of the vine tree, from
the kernels, even to the husk.
00:13:47.85\00:13:50.80
All the days of the vow of his
separation, there shall no razor
00:13:50.83\00:13:54.92
come upon his head until the
days be fulfilled, in the which
00:13:54.95\00:13:58.92
he separated himself unto
the Lord, he shall be holy
00:13:58.95\00:14:02.93
and shall let the locks
of the hair of his head grow.
00:14:02.96\00:14:06.22
All the days that he
separated himself unto the Lord,
00:14:06.25\00:14:10.00
he shall come at no dead
body. He shall not make himself
00:14:10.03\00:14:14.24
unclean for his father, or
for his mother, for his brother,
00:14:14.87\00:14:17.85
or for his sister, when they
die: because the consecration
00:14:17.88\00:14:21.14
of his God is upon his head.
All the days of his separation,
00:14:21.17\00:14:25.59
he is holy unto the Lord.
00:14:25.62\00:14:27.55
Thank you for joining with
