Numbers 1:47-54 (GOD'S WORD)

    47 But the households from the tribe of Levi were not registered along with the other Israelites. 48The LORD had said to Moses, 49“Don’t register the tribe of Levi or include them in the census with the other Israelites. 50Put the Levites in charge of the tent of God’s words, including the equipment for the tent and everything else having to do with the tent. The Levites will carry the tent and all its equipment. They will take care of the tent and camp around it. 51When the tent has to be moved, the Levites will take it down. When we camp, they will set it up. Anyone else who comes near the tent will be put to death.
    52“The other Israelites will camp with each family in its own area under its own flag. 53The Levites will camp all around the tent of God’s words. In this way the LORD won’t be angry with the community of Israel. So the Levites will be in charge of the tent of God’s words.”
    54The Israelites did everything as the LORD commanded Moses.

Numbers 10:1-10 (GOD'S WORD)

    1 The LORD said to Moses, 2“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. Use them to call the community together and as a signal to break camp. 3When you blow both trumpets, the whole community will meet with you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 4If only one trumpet blows, the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, will meet with you. 5When they hear the trumpet fanfare, the tribes that are camped on the east side will break camp first. 6When the trumpets sound a second fanfare, the tribes that are camped on the south will break camp. The fanfare is the signal to break camp. 7But when you gather the assembly, the trumpets will blow without sounding a fanfare. 8The sons of Aaron, the priests, will blow the trumpets. This will be a permanent law for you and your descendants.
    9 “When you go to war in your own country against an enemy who is oppressing you, the trumpets will sound a fanfare. Then the LORD your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies. 10Also, on your festival days and on the first day of the month, blow the trumpets when you sacrifice your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. The trumpets will be a reminder for you in God’s presence. I am the LORD your God.”







































Numbers 10:13-17 (GOD'S WORD)

    13This was the first time they moved, following the command that the Lord had given through Moses. 14With their flag in front, the armies led by Judah's descendants broke camp first. Nahshon, son of Amminadab, was in command. 15Nethanel, son of Zuar, commanded the army of Issachar. 16Eliab, son of Helon, commanded the army of Zebulun. 17Then the tent [of meeting] was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, broke camp.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




























 

Numbers 16:1-7 (GOD'S WORD)

    1Korah (son of Izhar), Dathan and Abiram (sons of Eliab), and On (son of Peleth) dared to challenge Moses.a (Korah was a descendant of
Kohath and Levi. Dathan, Abiram, and On were descendants of Reuben.) 2These four men were joined by 250 Israelite men, well-known leaders
of the community, chosen by the assembly. 3They came together to confront Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You’ve gone far enough! Everyone
in the whole community is holy, and the LORD is among them. Why do you set yourselves above the LORD’s assembly?”
    4As soon as Moses heard this, he bowed with his face touching the ground. 5Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “In the morning the LORD will show who belongs to him, who is holy, and who it is that he will allow to come near him. Only the person the LORD chooses will be allowed to come near him. 6Korah, you and all your followers must do this tomorrow: Take incense burners, 7and put burning coals and incense in them in the LORD’s presence. Then the LORD will choose the man who is holy. You’ve gone far enough!”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


























 
 

Numbers 16:25-35 (GOD'S WORD)

    25Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the leaders of Israel followed him. 26He said to the community, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you’ll be swept away because of all their sins.” 27So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing
at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children.
    28Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it wasn’t my idea: 29If these men die like all other people— if they die a natural death—then the LORD hasn’t sent me.30But if the LORD does something totally new--if the ground opens up, swallows them and  everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive to their graves--then you'll know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."
    31As soon as he had finished saying all this, the ground under them split, 32and the earth opened up to swallow them, their families, the followers of Korah, and all their property. 33They went down alive to their graves with everything that belonged to them. The ground covered them, and so they disappeared from the assembly.34All the Israelites around them ran away when they heard their screams. They thought the ground would swallow them, too.
    35Fire came from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering incense.

Numbers  31:16-18  (GOD'S WORD)

16"Remember, they were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the Israelites to be unfaithful to the LORD in the incident that took place at Peor. The LORD'S community experienced a plague at that time. 17So kill all the Midianite boys and every Midianite woman who has gone to bed with a man. 18But save for yourselves every girl who has never gone to bed with a man.
