Day 71 - Read Numbers 8-9

July 3, 2024 • Numbers 8—9

The Levites were cleansed, the people of Israel laid their hands on them, sacrifices were given for sin, and they were separated as instructed. The Levites worked in the service of the tent of meeting until the age of fifty, then they ministered to their brothers by keeping guard at the tent of meeting. God commanded Israel to keep the Passover according to His instructions. He gave instruction for those who were unclean on the day of celebration and for those who were on long journeys. God placed a cloud over the tabernacle. Israel remained when the cloud remained, and they journeyed when the cloud was lifted.

Day 72 - Read Numbers 10-11

July 4, 2024 • Numbers 10—11

God commanded Moses to make two silver trumpets to call the heads of the tribes, to all the people to gather, to call the people to war, and to remind the people of what God had done. The cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle and Israel set out in an orderly fashion. Moses trusted the Lord to guide, protect, and provide for them. The people began complaining because they had no meat. Moses cried out to God for help leading the people. God appointed seventy elders among the people to assist Moses. God provided qual in great number to the people, but His anger burned against them. He sent a plague and struck those down who had coveted meat even though God had provided food for them.

Day 70 - Read Numbers 7

July 2, 2024 • Numbers 7

When the tabernacle was built, set apart for service, and cleansed, the leaders of Israel brought offerings to be given to the Lord’s service. God commanded Moses to give the offerings to the Levites for the service of the tent of meeting. Offerings were given by each leader of Israel for the anointing of the altar. One leader offered his tribe’s offering each day. When Moses went to the altar after it was anointed, he heard God speak to him from the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony.

Day 69 - Read Numbers 5-6

July 1, 2024 • Numbers 5—6

God commanded Israel to put anyone with disease outside of the camp to protect the people. The people of Israel were commanded to confess sins and make restitution according to God’s instruction. A woman who was believed to be guilty of adultery against her husband would be tested by the priest and would enter an oath that would result in punishment if she was guilty of the sin. God gave instructions for those who chose to make a Nazirite vow. The term we transliterate as “Nazirite” describes a person who chooses to be separated and consecrated for the work of God. God instructed Aaron to bless the sons of Israel.
