Day 35 offers another great mix up of books thanks to the chronological stuff but it makes perfect sense and I like it, we'll read it all anyway. One thing is I didn't realize that the two people consumed by fire yesterday were two of Aaron's sons that were supposed to be priests. Well the second half of this reading is the 12 tribes giving to the altar and they all give the same thing but we take up 2 pages saying what each one individually gives cause the Bible is difficult. The beginning has some pretty interesting stuff tho. The blog I did on the second (http://bit.ly/brhTsK) had the story of how the Levites helped out Moses and killed 3000 of the Israelites because they worshiped the golden calf and it says that God will show favor to them and make them special and stuff. So guess what here is their chance, they are the tribe chosen to be holy and to be the workers of the Tabernacle. They do something to them that I think is really cool, they get the whole tribe in front of the Tabernacle and have the rest of the Israelites to put a hand on them. This is something our youth group does whenever someone is baptized and its something like 1 person in the middle and 100-200 people putting a hand on them. Well here using simple numbers we'll say every tribe has 2000 people, so 2000 people in the middle with 22000 people around them touching them. They totally just raised the criteria on us here but I thought it was a cool way to do that. But anyway the Levite men have to start serving at 25 and stop at 50...that's earlier than we get but I'm guessing the life expectancy is lower back then, of course they used to live to like 890 but now its 120 so 60 really would be half way through but OK. I guess they are strong after 25 years of work, I hope they get good benefits. Either way I also thought it was interesting that different parts of the Levites had different jobs in the temple. Alright that's it for today now some other random things.
Let me know if I'm spelling things wrong.
I thought of Levy while writing this.
