Day 29

Numbers 1; Numbers 2; Numbers 3; Numbers 4

Moses and the princes in Israel count from each tribe except Levi, those males twenty years of age and older. They total 603,550. The Levites are appointed to attend the tabernacle. The order and leaders of the tribes and armies of Israel in their tents are given.  Aaron and his sons minister in the priest’s office. The Levites are chosen to do the service of the tabernacle. They are the Lord’s, replacing the firstborn of all families of Israel. Their number, charge, and service are given. When the camps of Israel move, Aaron and his sons cover the holy things in the tabernacle. The Levites of the families of Kohath, Gershon, and Merari carry the burden of the tabernacle.
