Numbers 1-4: A Census
Update: 2020-06-01
Description
Numbers begins with a census which carries into the first few chapters. The men of Israel are counted and then the tribe of Levi is counted separately. Both are for the purpose of assigning roles, though it is more obvious for the Levites. The census is important to the people of Israel, particularly later in the Old Testament, but it also reveals once again God's orderliness and the fact that God has designed us to live in community in which all contribute in very specific ways for the good of all. This seems to be an early look at the concept of the Church, with many parts to one body. Pray that God would continue to amaze you with his wisdom and design.
