Hi, and welcome
to His Words Are Life
00:00:15.88\00:00:18.36
I'm Kelly Mower, and thank
you for joining with me today,
00:00:18.39\00:00:21.00
to read the Word of God.
00:00:21.03\00:00:22.00
When we were last together,
we were reading in Numbers about
00:00:22.01\00:00:24.77
the different sacrifices that
were brought before the Lord
00:00:24.80\00:00:28.04
and we're going to
pick up on that in a minute;
00:00:28.07\00:00:29.86
but before we do,
let's pray together.
00:00:29.89\00:00:31.76
Dear Jesus, thank You so much
that we can sit and hear your
00:00:31.79\00:00:37.46
words of life for us in our
lives today, even though they
00:00:37.50\00:00:41.26
were written so many thousands
of years ago. As we read of the
00:00:41.30\00:00:45.30
sacrifices that were brought
to honor You, to praise You -
00:00:45.75\00:00:49.75
sacrifices of thanksgiving,
sacrifices for forgiveness and
00:00:50.15\00:00:54.15
for sin atonement. We thank you
for making a sacrifice for us
00:00:55.03\00:00:59.03
and we want to bring to You
our lives, as a living sacrifice
00:00:59.25\00:01:03.12
We want to praise You in
all that we do and bring glory
00:01:03.15\00:01:06.62
to our name. Please
teach us how to do that better.
00:01:06.65\00:01:09.30
We love You so much and
thank You for loving us. Amen
00:01:09.33\00:01:12.87
We're reading in the
book of Numbers, in Chapter 7.
00:01:12.90\00:01:16.76
And we'll begin with verse 78.
This is the King James Version.
00:01:16.79\00:01:20.79
On the 12th day Ahira the son
of Enan, prince of the children
00:01:21.28\00:01:26.62
of Naphtali offered. His
offering was 1 silver charger,
00:01:26.66\00:01:30.59
the weight whereof was 130
shekels, 1 silver bowl of 70
00:01:31.25\00:01:35.25
shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary; both of them full of
00:01:35.67\00:01:39.63
fine flour, mingled
with oil for a meat offering:
00:01:39.66\00:01:42.48
One golden spoon of 10
shekels, full of incense:
00:01:42.51\00:01:46.22
One young bullock, one
ram, one lamb of the first year
00:01:46.25\00:01:50.25
for a burnt offering: One kid
of the goats for a sin offering:
00:01:50.40\00:01:54.40
And for a sacrifice of peace
offerings, two oxen, five rams,
00:01:54.71\00:01:58.71
five he goats, five lambs
of the first year: this was the
00:01:58.92\00:02:03.58
offering of Ahira, the son
of Enan. This was the dedication
00:02:04.01\00:02:08.04
of the altar in the
day when it was anointed,
00:02:08.98\00:02:10.56
by the princes of Israel: twelve
chargers of silver, twelve
00:02:12.54\00:02:15.34
silver bowls, twelve spoons
of gold: each charger of silver,
00:02:15.99\00:02:20.25
weighing 130
shekels each bowl 70:
00:02:20.28\00:02:23.62
all the silver
vessels weighed 2,400 shekels,
00:02:23.65\00:02:28.30
after the shekel
of the sanctuary:
00:02:28.33\00:02:30.02
The golden spoons were twelve,
full of incense, weighing
00:02:30.05\00:02:34.69
ten shekels apiece, after
the shekel of the sanctuary:
00:02:34.72\00:02:38.50
all the gold of the
spoons was 120 shekels.
00:02:38.53\00:02:42.36
All the oxen for the burnt
offering were twelve bullocks,
00:02:42.39\00:02:46.39
the rams twelve, the lambs
of the first year twelve, with
00:02:46.70\00:02:50.70
their meat offering:
and the kids of the goats
00:02:50.75\00:02:53.27
for sin offering, twelve. And
all the oxen for the sacrifice
00:02:53.30\00:02:57.24
of the peace offerings
were 24 bullocks, the rams 60
00:02:57.27\00:03:01.25
the he goats 60, the
lambs of the first year 60.
00:03:01.29\00:03:05.29
This was the
dedication of the altar,
00:03:06.19\00:03:07.96
after that it was anointed.
00:03:07.99\00:03:09.73
And when Moses was gone into the
tabernacle of the congregation
00:03:09.76\00:03:13.61
to speak with him, then he
heard the voice of one speaking
00:03:13.64\00:03:17.62
unto him from off the
mercy seat that was upon the ark
00:03:18.12\00:03:21.65
of testimony, from
between the two cherubim's:
00:03:21.68\00:03:24.44
and he spake unto him.
00:03:24.47\00:03:26.32
We are continuing to
read in the book of Numbers,
00:03:26.35\00:03:28.95
this is chapter eight and
this is the King James Version.
00:03:28.98\00:03:31.69
And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron,
00:03:31.72\00:03:37.24
and say unto him, When thou
lightest the lamps, the 7 lamps
00:03:37.28\00:03:41.12
shall give light over
against the candlestick.
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.71
And Aaron did so; he lighted the
lamps thereof over against the
00:03:43.74\00:03:47.74
candlestick, as the
Lord commanded Moses.
00:03:48.38\00:03:50.70
And this work of the
candlestick was of beaten gold,
00:03:50.73\00:03:54.22
unto the shaft thereof,
unto the flowers thereof,
00:03:54.25\00:03:56.78
was beaten work: according
unto the pattern which the Lord
00:03:56.81\00:04:00.18
had shewed Moses, so
he made the candlestick.
00:04:00.21\00:04:03.22
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Take the Levites from
00:04:03.25\00:04:07.25
among the children of
Israel and cleanse them.
00:04:08.02\00:04:10.16
And thus shalt thou do unto them
to cleanse them: Sprinkle water
00:04:10.19\00:04:13.94
of purifying upon them, and
let them shave all their flesh
00:04:13.97\00:04:17.67
and let them wash their clothes,
and so make themselves clean.
00:04:17.70\00:04:21.23
Then let them take a young
bullock with his meat offering,
00:04:21.26\00:04:24.53
even fine flour mingled with
oil and another young bullock
00:04:24.56\00:04:28.56
shalt thou take
for a sin offering.
00:04:29.16\00:04:30.90
And thou shalt bring the
Levites before the tabernacle
00:04:31.95\00:04:34.25
of the congregation. And thou
shalt gather the whole assembly
00:04:34.28\00:04:37.68
of the children
of Israel together:
00:04:37.71\00:04:39.23
And thou shalt bring
the Levites before the Lord:
00:04:39.26\00:04:41.95
and the children of Israel shall
put their hands upon the Levites
00:04:41.98\00:04:45.15
and Aaron shall offer the
Levites before the Lord for
00:04:45.18\00:04:48.72
offering of the children of
Israel that they may execute the
00:04:48.75\00:04:52.02
service of the Lord. And the
Levites shall lay their hands
00:04:52.05\00:04:55.55
upon the heads of the bullocks
and thou shalt offer the one
00:04:55.58\00:04:57.97
for a sin offering and the
other for a burnt offering,
00:04:58.00\00:05:00.14
unto the Lord, to make an
atonement for the Levites.
00:05:00.17\00:05:03.10
And thou shalt set the Levites
before Aaron and before his sons
00:05:03.13\00:05:07.10
and offer them for an
offering unto the Lord.
00:05:07.22\00:05:09.24
Thus shalt thou separate the
Levites from among the children
00:05:09.27\00:05:13.24
of Israel: and the
Levites shall be mine.
00:05:13.49\00:05:17.11
And after that shall the Levites
go in to do the service of the
00:05:17.14\00:05:20.33
tabernacle of the congregation
and thou shalt cleanse them and
00:05:20.36\00:05:24.00
offer them for an offering. For
they are wholly given unto me
00:05:24.03\00:05:28.00
from among the children of
Israel; instead of such as open
00:05:28.36\00:05:31.92
every womb, even
instead of the firstborn of all
00:05:31.95\00:05:34.13
the children of Israel
have I taken them unto me.
00:05:34.16\00:05:37.64
For all the firstborn of
the children of Israel are mine,
00:05:37.67\00:05:40.11
both man and beast: on the
day that smote every firstborn
00:05:40.14\00:05:43.30
in the land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
00:05:43.33\00:05:45.95
And I have taken the
Levites for all the firstborn
00:05:45.98\00:05:49.25
of the children of Israel.
And I have given the Levites
00:05:49.28\00:05:52.47
as a gift to Aaron and to his
sons from among the children of
00:05:52.50\00:05:56.12
Israel, to do the service of
the children of Israel in the
00:05:56.15\00:05:59.41
tabernacle of the congregation
and to make an atonement
00:05:59.44\00:06:02.89
for the children of Israel:
that there be no plague among
00:06:02.92\00:06:06.27
the children of Israel when
the children of Israel come nigh
00:06:06.30\00:06:08.95
unto the sanctuary.
And Moses and Aaron and all
00:06:08.98\00:06:12.95
the congregation of
the children of Israel,
00:06:13.66\00:06:15.58
did to the Levites
according unto all that the Lord
00:06:15.61\00:06:19.04
commanded Moses concerning
the Levites, so did the children
00:06:19.07\00:06:22.51
of Israel unto them. And
the Levites were purified
00:06:22.54\00:06:26.13
and they washed their clothes;
and Aaron offered them as an
00:06:26.16\00:06:30.01
offering before the Lord; and
Aaron made an atonement for them
00:06:30.04\00:06:34.01
to cleanse them. And after that
went the Levites in to do their
00:06:34.13\00:06:39.54
service in the tabernacle of
the congregation before Aaron
00:06:39.57\00:06:42.67
and before his sons: as
the Lord had commanded Moses
00:06:42.70\00:06:46.00
concerning the
Levites, so did they unto them.
00:06:46.03\00:06:49.91
And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, This is it that
00:06:49.94\00:06:53.47
that belongeth unto the Levites:
from twenty and five years old
00:06:53.50\00:06:56.77
and upward they shall go
in to wait upon the service of
00:06:56.80\00:07:00.48
the tabernacle
of the congregation:
00:07:00.51\00:07:02.23
and from the age of fifty years
they shall cease waiting upon
00:07:02.26\00:07:06.08
the service thereof, and
shall serve no more: But shall
00:07:06.11\00:07:09.95
minister with their
brethren in the tabernacle
00:07:09.98\00:07:11.78
of the congregation to keep the
charge and shall do no service.
00:07:11.81\00:07:15.79
Thus shalt that do unto the
Levites touching their charge.
00:07:16.06\00:07:19.78
We are continuing to
read in the book of Numbers,
00:07:19.81\00:07:23.00
this is chapter 9.
It's the King James version.
00:07:23.03\00:07:26.86
And the Lord spake unto Moses
in the wilderness of Sinai,
00:07:26.89\00:07:30.44
in the first month of the
second year after they were
00:07:30.47\00:07:32.77
come out of the land of
Egypt, saying, Let the children
00:07:32.80\00:07:35.75
of Israel also keep the
Passover at his appointed
00:07:35.78\00:07:38.44
season. In the 14th day of this
month, at even ye shall keep it
00:07:38.47\00:07:43.14
in his appointed season:
according to all the rites of it
00:07:43.17\00:07:46.36
and according to all
the ceremonies thereof,
00:07:46.39\00:07:48.33
shall ye shall ye keep it. And
Moses spake unto the children
00:07:48.36\00:07:51.85
of Israel that they
should keep the Passover.
00:07:51.88\00:07:53.64
And they kept the Passover
on the 14th day of the 1st month
00:07:53.67\00:07:58.07
at even in the wilderness of
Sinai: according to all that the
00:07:58.10\00:08:02.27
Lord commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel.
00:08:02.30\00:08:05.90
And there were certain men who
were defiled by the dead body
00:08:05.93\00:08:10.08
of a man, that they could not
keep the Passover on that day.
00:08:10.11\00:08:13.26
And they came before Moses
and before Aaron on that day,
00:08:13.29\00:08:16.67
and those men said unto him,
We are defiled by the dead body
00:08:16.70\00:08:21.02
of a man. Wherefore are we kept
back that we man not offer an
00:08:21.05\00:08:25.37
offering of the Lord in
his appointed season among the
00:08:25.40\00:08:27.48
children of Israel? And Moses
said unto them, Stand still and
00:08:27.51\00:08:31.41
I will hear what the Lord
will command concerning you.
00:08:31.44\00:08:34.08
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children
00:08:34.11\00:08:38.06
of Israel, saying, If any
man of you or of your posterity
00:08:38.09\00:08:42.77
shall be unclean by reason of
a dead body, or be in a journey
00:08:42.80\00:08:47.26
afar off, yet he shall
keep the Passover unto the Lord.
00:08:47.29\00:08:50.55
the 14th day of the 2nd month
at even they shall keep it,
00:08:50.58\00:08:54.67
and eat it with unleavened
bread and bitter herbs.
00:08:54.70\00:08:57.72
They shall leave none of it unto
the morning, nor break any bone
00:08:57.76\00:09:01.97
of it, according to all
the ordinances of the Passover
00:09:02.00\00:09:04.94
they shall keep it. But the
man that is clean and is not
00:09:05.13\00:09:09.90
in a journey and
forebeareth to keep the Passover
00:09:09.94\00:09:12.47
even the same soul shall be
cut off from among his people:
00:09:12.50\00:09:15.91
because he brought not
the offering of the Lord in
00:09:15.94\00:09:18.99
his appointed season,
that man shall bear his sin.
00:09:19.02\00:09:22.70
And if a stranger shall sojourn
among you and will keep the
00:09:22.73\00:09:27.48
Passover unto the Lord;
according to the ordinance
00:09:27.51\00:09:29.63
of the Passover, and
according to the manner thereof,
00:09:29.66\00:09:32.01
so shall he do. Ye shall
have one ordinance, both for the
00:09:32.04\00:09:36.17
stranger and for him
that was born in the land.
00:09:36.20\00:09:38.70
And on the day that the
tabernacle was reared up,
00:09:38.73\00:09:42.03
the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent
00:09:42.06\00:09:44.56
of the testimony. And at even
there was upon the tabernacle as
00:09:44.59\00:09:48.59
it were the appearance
of fire, until the morning.
00:09:48.62\00:09:51.80
So it was alway: the
cloud covered it by day,
00:09:51.83\00:09:56.41
and the appearance of fire
by night. And when the cloud was
00:09:56.44\00:10:00.53
taken up from the tabernacle,
then after that the children
00:10:00.56\00:10:03.77
of Israel journeyed. And in
the place where the cloud abode,
00:10:03.80\00:10:08.21
there the children of
Israel pitched their tent.
00:10:08.24\00:10:10.88
At the commandment of the Lord,
the children of Israel journeyed
00:10:10.91\00:10:15.29
and at the commandment of the
Lord, they pitched: As long as
00:10:15.32\00:10:19.65
the cloud abode upon
the tabernacle, they rested
00:10:19.68\00:10:22.89
in their tents. And
when the cloud tarried long
00:10:22.92\00:10:26.34
upon the tabernacle, many days,
then the children of Israel
00:10:26.37\00:10:30.30
kept the charge of the
Lord and journeyed not.
00:10:30.33\00:10:33.38
And so it was, when the
cloud was a few days upon the
00:10:33.41\00:10:37.57
tabernacle, according to
the commandment of the Lord,
00:10:37.60\00:10:40.34
they abode in their tents,
and according to the commandment
00:10:40.37\00:10:43.99
of the Lord, they journeyed. And
so it was when the cloud abode
00:10:44.03\00:10:48.37
from even unto the morning,
and that the cloud was taken up
00:10:48.40\00:10:52.03
in the morning,
then they journeyed,
00:10:52.06\00:10:53.73
whether it was by day or by
night that the cloud was taken
00:10:53.76\00:10:58.05
up, they journeyed. Or whether
it were two days or a month,
00:10:58.08\00:11:03.04
or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle,
00:11:03.07\00:11:06.55
remaining thereon, the children
of Israel abode in their tents
00:11:06.58\00:11:10.63
and journeyed not. But when
it was taken up, they journeyed
00:11:10.66\00:11:15.45
at the commandment of the Lord,
they rested in their tents.
00:11:15.48\00:11:20.49
And at the commandment
of the Lord, they journeyed.
00:11:20.52\00:11:23.31
They kept the charge of the Lord
at the commandment of the Lord,
00:11:23.34\00:11:27.77
by the hand of Moses.
00:11:27.80\00:11:29.82
We are continuing to
read in the book of Numbers.
00:11:29.85\00:11:32.83
This is chapter 10, in
the King James Version.
00:11:32.86\00:11:35.21
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Make thee two trumpets
00:11:35.24\00:11:40.21
of silver; of a whole
piece shalt thou make them: that
00:11:40.24\00:11:43.54
thou mayest use them for
the calling of the assembly
00:11:43.57\00:11:46.31
and for the journeying of
the camp. And when they shall
00:11:46.34\00:11:50.10
blow with them, all the assembly
shall assemble themselves
00:11:50.13\00:11:54.21
to thee at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
00:11:54.24\00:11:56.93
And if they blow but with
one trumpet, then the princes
00:11:56.96\00:12:01.20
which are heads of the houses
of the thousands of Israel,
00:12:01.23\00:12:03.56
shall gather themselves
unto thee. When ye blow an alarm
00:12:03.59\00:12:07.90
then the camps that lie on
the east part shall go forward.
00:12:07.93\00:12:11.63
When ye blow an alarm the 2nd
time, then the camps that lie on
00:12:11.66\00:12:16.54
the south side
shall take their journey.
00:12:16.57\00:12:18.47
They shall blow an
alarm for their journeys.
00:12:18.50\00:12:21.61
But when the congregation
is to be gathered together,
00:12:21.64\00:12:24.71
ye shall blow, but ye
shall not sound an alarm.
00:12:24.74\00:12:27.46
And the sons of Aaron,
the priests, shall blow
00:12:27.49\00:12:31.30
with the trumpets. And they
shall be to you for an ordinance
00:12:31.33\00:12:34.73
forever,
throughout your generations.
00:12:34.76\00:12:37.03
And if ye go to war in
your land against the enemy
00:12:37.06\00:12:40.74
that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an alarm
00:12:40.77\00:12:43.72
with the trumpets. And ye shall
be remembered before the Lord
00:12:43.75\00:12:47.04
your God and ye shall
be saved from your enemies.
00:12:47.07\00:12:50.39
Also in the day of your gladness
and in your solemn days, and in
00:12:50.42\00:12:55.08
the beginnings of your months,
ye shall blow with the trumpets
00:12:55.11\00:12:58.47
over your burnt offerings
and over the sacrifices of your
00:12:58.50\00:13:01.25
peace offerings, that they
may be to you for a memorial
00:13:01.28\00:13:05.10
before your God: I
am the Lord your God.
00:13:05.13\00:13:08.47
And it came to pass on
the 20th day of the 2nd month,
00:13:08.50\00:13:12.61
in the 2nd year, that the
cloud was taken up from off
00:13:12.64\00:13:16.34
the tabernacle of the testimony.
And the children of Israel took
00:13:16.37\00:13:20.19
their journeys out of
the wilderness of Sinai;
00:13:20.22\00:13:22.88
and the cloud rested in
the wilderness of Paran.
00:13:22.91\00:13:26.68
And they first took
their journey according to the
00:13:26.71\00:13:29.46
commandment of the
Lord by the hand of Moses.
00:13:29.49\00:13:31.64
In the first place went
the standard of the camp of the
00:13:31.67\00:13:35.53
children of Judah, according to
their armies: and over his host
00:13:35.56\00:13:39.96
was Nahshon the
son of Amminadab.
00:13:39.99\00:13:42.33
And over the host of the tribe
of the children of Issachar,
00:13:42.36\00:13:45.78
was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
And over the host of the tribe
00:13:45.81\00:13:50.49
of the children of Zebulun
was Eliab the son of Helon.
00:13:50.52\00:13:54.09
And the tabernacle was taken
down and the sons of Gershon
00:13:54.12\00:13:57.95
and the sons of Merari set
forward, bearing the tabernacle.
00:13:57.98\00:14:01.11
And the standard of the camp of
Reuben set forward according to
00:14:01.14\00:14:05.43
their armies. And over his host
was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
00:14:05.46\00:14:09.81
And over the host of the
tribe of the children of Simeon
00:14:09.84\00:14:13.30
was Shelumiel the
son of Zurishaddai.
00:14:13.33\00:14:16.11
And over the host of the
tribe of the children of Gad
00:14:16.14\00:14:19.35
was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
And the Kohathites set forward,
00:14:19.38\00:14:23.66
bearing the sanctuary: And the
other did set up the tabernacle
00:14:23.69\00:14:26.95
against they came.
Thank you for joining with me

When you join me again the next
00:14:30.53\00:14:33.75
