The Duties of the Merarites
(Numbers 3:33–37; 1 Chronicles 23:21–23)
29As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families, 30from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases, 32and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
33This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
Law and order, for every purpose under heaven! It’s interesting to me how the Lord was very specific in administering to the Tent of Meeting and to the Israelites in general. He was very specific and wanted law and order applied to everything.
Is your household clean and orderly?
With everything that the Lord has given you, have you been responsible and orderly with it? I’ve known people who were dirt poor and one even had a dirt floor in their home but they were clean and orderly. I’ve known others that threw their garbage out the front door and have taken what little the Lord has bestowed upon them and destroyed it.
What about your children, have you raised them properly in the Lord and to respect law and order?
There will come a time when you will have to kneel in front of the Lord and be accountable for your life.
How will that go for you?
Blessings
