Good afternoon, everyone!
Today, I read Numbers 1-2.
In today's reading, God tells Moses to take a census of all the fighting men of Israel, except the Levites, who are His priests.
And I have to admit, reading all those names was pretty boring. For me.
Until I realized, that for an Israelite, hearing the name of an ancestor read from the book of Numbers would be a source of pride, and a reminder of where they came from.
So, for me, the numbering of the people is boring. But God has a purpose for everything written in the Bible.
So, that's what I learned today. I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Numbers 3-4.
