Numbers 10:11-12:16
Numbers 10:11-12:16 This passage begins the second major section of the book of Numbers. This long section of the book records a number of snapshots about what happened after Israel left Mount Sinai, and the major theme is disobedience and death. Israel as a whole proves not to trust Yahweh. There is a faithful remnant, but the nation as a whole is unfaithful and disobedient … and it leads to death. The other side to this theme is that God is faithful. In spite of Israel’s unfaithfulness God is faithful to his calling and purposes for Israel. The disobedient among the nation suffer the consequences of their unfaithfulness, but God still leads Israel to the promised land. This passage begins to explore all of this as Israel marches out from Sinai.

Numbers 7-8
Numbers 7-8 Numbers 7-8 continues the theme of preparing Israel for marching from Mount Sinai by recounting each tribe’s tribute and offerings brought to the tabernacle as part of the opening ceremonies of the tabernacle and by describing the cleansing procedures for the Levites. The tabernacle is thus ready for service and the Levites are ready to assist the priests.

Numbers 5-6
Numbers 5-6 These two chapters continue the theme of preparing the Israelite camp for marching out. The concern in these chapters is for the purity of the camp. First, they address two general matters: major ritual impurities and sin of wronging another person in the camp. Then they provide instructions for two very specific issues: suspected marital unfaithfulness and special devotion by means of the Nazirite vow. Finally, Numbers 6 ends with a prayer for the Lord to bless his people--the well-known Aaronic Blessing.

Numbers 3-4
Numbers 3-4 It has been 13 months since the Exodus and Israel has been camped at the base of Mt Sinai for most of that time. There they have entered into a covenant with Yahweh to be his people. They will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation on God's behalf. They’ve received the Law which teaches them God’s ways for their time and they have built the tabernacle and launched tabernacle worship. Now it’s time to pack up and move out, heading to the land God had promised to Abraham and to them as his descendants. So in Numbers 1-2 God instructs Moses to count and arrange the people into military divisions. Now here, in Numbers 3-4, the instructions are directed to the priests and the Levites, preparing them for their responsibilities as they move out. They weren’t counted before because they aren’t going to serve as part of the military but they have other important responsibilities pertaining to caring for and transporting the tabernacle.

Numbers 1-2
Numbers 1-2 Numbers picks up 13 months after the exodus recorded in Exodus ch. 12. Israel left Egypt as a loosely connected band of family clans and tribes. They were redeemed our of Egypt by God’s strong right hand. God delivered them through the red sea and after several weeks they finally arrived at Mt. Sinai. They have been camped their ever since, for the rest of the book of Exodus… right up to the end when they first set up the tabernacle and all the way through the instructions given in the book of Leviticus (which really only covers a couple weeks). So they’ve been at Sinai for a year and now it’s time to prepare to move out to the land God had promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That’s where the book of Numbers picks up in chapters 1-2. These chapters focus on getting organized into military units that are prepared to march out.
