Today, I am reading and commenting on  Numbers 8-10.

After the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests, God had Moses consecrate the Levites into service to God in place of the firstborn males of the rest of Israel (thus cementing their status as intermediaries between the rest of Israel and God).  Once that was done, it was time to celebrate the Passover.  So, the Israelites did so.  However, some of the Israelites were unable to celebrate the Passover because they were ceremonially unclean.  However, they wanted to celebrate Passover and asked Moses what they should do.  We can learn an important lesson from their enthusiasm for worshiping God and celebrating what He had done for them.  Finally, after those who were unable to celebrate the Sabbath at Mount Sinai at its appointed time were able to celebrate it according to the instructions God gave for such circumstances, the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
