Numbers 1-6

God leads His people from Sinai to the plains of Moab...
Ch.1 - "Deacons" are chosen to assist Moses in doing the census. What a huge number of people - over 600 thousand, just counting the men over 20! The Levites ensure the tabernacle is sanctified.
Ch.2 - The people are organized - everyone has a tribe and a place they are committed to.
Ch. 3, 4 - To each Levite clan, specific duties are given. Thousands of men are involved in carrying the tabernacle and performing the necessary duties. One man would replace them all - the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ch. 6 - The Nazirite vow. Among God's people, same are set apart for a unique ministry.
