559.

The Kohathites

1.

Today's Passage:  Numbers 4:1-20


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).




2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

4th strategy.
Is this a who, what, when, where, or how passage?
 


  • Begin by inviting God into your reading. Ask Him to join you and show you the plot of this passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Ask yourself as you read the passage which is most important in the passage.
    • Is 'who' the passage about most important?
    • Is 'what' the passage is about most important?
    • Is' when' or 'where' the passage takes place most important?
    • Or is how the passage presented, worked out in time, or motivates the reader most important...?
  • After you decide which is the most important vehicle of the passage, re-read it.
  • Contemplate if this passage could bring you to a fuller understanding of God and His purposes.
  • Thank God for being with you in this endeavor.


1. Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2. "Record the names of the members of the clans and families of the Kohathite division of the tribe of Levi.
3. List all the men between the ages of thirty and fifty who are eligible to serve in the Tabernacle.

4. "The duties of the Kohathites at the Tabernacle will relate to the most sacred objects.
5. When the camp moves, Aaron and his sons must enter the Tabernacle first to take down the inner curtain and cover the Ark of the Covenant with it.
6. Then they must cover the inner curtain with fine goatskin leather and spread over that a single piece of blue cloth. Finally, they must put the carrying poles of the Ark in place.

7. "Next they must spread a blue cloth over the table where the Bread of the Presence is displayed, and on the cloth they will place the bowls, pans, jars, pitchers, and the special bread.
98. They must spread a scarlet cloth over all of this, and finally a covering of fine goatskin leather on top of the scarlet cloth. Then they must insert the carrying poles into the table.

9. "Next they must cover the lampstand with a blue cloth, along with its lamps, lamp snuffers, trays, and special jars of olive oil.
10. Then they must cover the lampstand  and its accessories with fine goatskin leather and place the bundle on a carrying frame.

11. "Next they must spread a blue cloth over the gold incense altar and cover this cloth with fine goatskin leather. Then they must attach the carrying poles to the altar.
12. They must take all the remaining furnishings of the sanctuary and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine goatskin leather, and place them on the carrying frame.

13. "They must remove the ashes from the altar for sacrifices and cover the altar with a purple cloth.
14. All the altar utensils ⏤ the firepans, meat forks, shovels, basins, and all the containers ⏤ must be placed on the cloth, and a covering of fine goatskin leather must be spread over them. Finally, they must put the carrying poles in place.
15. The camp will be ready to move when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the sacred articles. The Kohathites will come and carry these things to the next destination. But they must not touch the sacred objects, or they will die. So these are the things from the Tabernacle that the Kohathites must carry.

16. "Eleazar son of Aaron the priest will be responsible for the oil of the lampstand, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. In fact, Eleazar will be responsible for the entire Tabernacle and everything in it, including the sanctuary and its furnishing."

17. Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18. "Do not let the Kohathite clans be destroyed from among the Levites!
19. This is what you must do so they will live and not die when they approach the most sacred objects. Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and assign a specific duty or load to each person.
20. The Kohathites must never enter the sanctuary to look at the sacred objects for even a moment, or they will die."
Numbers 4:1-20 NLT

The responsibility of the Levites - oh how interesting. And Aaron, and Eleazar.

I pray this morning for the descendants of these men. And of those that were given the task of moving the sacred articles without touching them.

The power of touch.
I know that power of touch. I’ve been blessed with being touched in holy ways (hugged by a friend or loved one- stroked by my children an kissed by my husband)

and in unholy ways. (A hand shaking from someone who doesn’t care for me, a hug from an enemy, and even forced to kiss in an evil way)

There is a huge difference.

I never realized until this morning that unholy touching of the holy articles had the power to kill those that were doing the unholy touching.

But the damage, the change, the death! It doesn’t damage, or change, or kill the holy object.
It damages, changes, kills the one who does the unholy touching.

I will need to chew on this for awhile.
