Numbers 18 English Standard Version Duties of Priests and Levites 18 So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear iniquity connected with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear iniquity connected with your priesthood. 2 And with you bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony. 3 They shall keep guard over you and over the whole tent, but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar lest they, and you, die. 4 They shall join you and keep guard over the tent of meeting for all the service of the tent, and no outsider shall come near you. 5 And you shall keep guard over the sanctuary and over the altar, that there may never again be wrath on the people of Israel. 6 And behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the people of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to the Lord, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 7 And you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift,[a] and any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.” 8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I have given you charge of the contributions made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel. I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual due. 9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering of theirs and every sin offering of theirs and every guilt offering of theirs, which they render to me, shall be most holy to you and to your sons. 10 In a most holy place shall you eat it. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you. 11 This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, all the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it. 12 All the best of the oil and all the best of the wine and of the grain, the firstfruits of what they give to the Lord, I give to you. 13 The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it. 14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours. 15 Everything that opens the womb of all flesh, whether man or beast, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours. Nevertheless, the firstborn of man you shall redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem. 16 And their redemption price (at a month old you shall redeem them) you shall fix at five shekels[b] in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall burn their fat as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 18 But their flesh shall be yours, as the breast that is waved and as the right thigh are yours. 19 All the holy contributions that the people of Israel present to the Lord I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. It is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord for you and for your offspring with you.” 20 And the Lord said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the people of Israel. 21 “To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting, 22 so that the people of Israel do not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die. 23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 24 For the tithe of the people of Israel, which they present as a contribution to the Lord, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel.” 25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 26 “Moreover, you shall speak and say to the Levites, ‘When you take from the people of Israel the tithe that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution from it to the Lord, a tithe of the tithe. 27 And your contribution shall be counted to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress. 28 So you shall also present a contribution to the Lord from all your tithes, which you receive from the people of Israel. And from it you shall give the Lord's contribution to Aaron the priest. 29 Out of all the gifts to you, you shall present every contribution due to the Lord; from each its best part is to be dedicated.’ 30 Therefore you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be counted to the Levites as produce of the threshing floor, and as produce of the winepress. 31 And you may eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting. 32 And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have contributed the best of it. But you shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, lest you die.’” Footnotes Numbers 18:7 Hebrew service of gift Numbers 18:16 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams

Isaiah 49 Isaiah 49: 1 - 4 God tells the world to pay attention. He formed Israel. He protected Israel. Israel is His servant still, even though they had gone astray. Isaiah 49: 5 - 6 Though they have been punished by the Babylonian captivity, a faithful remnant would be gathered back to their land once again. This group would light the way for the salvation of the world. Isaiah 49: 7 It is through the things that will happen to Israel, that the other nations and rulers will know that He is God. When Israel becomes the only nation to be totally conquered, and then rise back to their original status, the world would know that He is God. This is exactly what happened. Isaiah 49: 8 - 12 Israel would rise up again from their captivity in Babylon. They would return to their land. God would once again protect them. No matter how far they ended up from home, God would guide them back. Isaiah 49: 13 The universe would then celebrate God’s mercy and compassion. Isaiah 49: 14 Israel in their captivity will believe that God has forsaken them and forgotten them. Isaiah 49: 15 - 18 God tells them not to worry about that. He would remember them. Those who He allowed to conquer them would themselves be destroyed. Israel would rise once again. Isaiah 49: 19 - 21 In the despair of their captivity, Israel would wonder whether God was going to hear their prayers. Isaiah 49: 22 - 23 God tells them not to worry about that. He would hear their prayers and He would raise Israel up once again. Isaiah 49: 24 - 26 God would fight their battles for them once again. This would show the rest of the world that He is God.

Because King David is readily associated with the City of David and Jerusalem, we sometimes overlook that he made Hebron his first capital city; he ruled from there for seven and a half years and had six children. He was also anointed king at Hebron twice: by the Judahites (2 Sam 2:4), and by the elders of all Israel (2 Sam 5:3). The ancient city of Hebron has had some archaeological excavations since 1964, but not nearly as many as one would expect for the second-most-important city to Judaism and the fourth-most-important to Islam. Scholars have found that Hebron was a well-fortified city during parts of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. That is not surprising considering its height. At an elevation of 3,051', Hebron sits higher than any other city in the region (including Jerusalem) and would be easily defensible.

Another great week of football in the books........
