Day 30: Numbers 1-4

Summaries:
God tells Moses to take a census of the Israelites, and so they take a count of each of the 12 tribes, except the Levits are not included, for they are to take charge of the Dwelling (1). Then the Lord tells Moses and Aaron how the tribes are to be arranged (2). The sons of Aaron are named the anointed priests, and in place of all the first-borns of the Israelites being sacred to God, the Levites are given, so that they may serve the Dwelling. A census of the Levites is taken, and the duties are given to the different Levite clans (3-4).

Reflections:
I think it's pretty cool to watch the formation of the priesthood in the days of Moses, and how sacred they are, as well as how much responsibility they have, not just serving IN the sanctuary, but serving it in the sense of having to carry it as they move.
