Numbers 3-4; Revelation 15
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: <Numbers 3; Numbers 4; Revelation 15
Numbers 3 spoke about the Levites, who they were, the role they had to play among the Israelite community. The Levites were consecrated to the Lord and their role was to attend to the tabernacle. The Levites came from the family of Moses and Levi. Nadab and Abihu and died because they had offered unauthorized fire to the Lord. (Lev 10.1-3). This had demonstated to the people that God was a holy God and things had to be done according to the regulations set up in Leviticus. The Levites were to take care fo the tabernacle, the furnishings and anything related to the tabernacle. The Levites were completely dedicated to Aaron and were aolely dedicated to the tabernacle. God took the Levites from among the Israelites instead of the firstborn of all males in the community.
The names of the sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath and Merari. The Gershonites were responsible for the care of the structure of tabernacle such as curtain, tent, coverings, etc. and was to camp west of the tabernacle. The Kohathites were were responsible for the care of the sanctuary, its furnishings such as the ark, the table, etc. and was to camp south of the tabernacle. The Merarites were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle and were appointed to take care of the frames, crossbars, posts, base, etc. Moses and Aaron and their sons were to camp east of the Tabernacle toward the sunrise in front of the tabernacle. Any non-Levite who approaches the tabernacle would die.
Numbers 4 elaborated in great detail about the Kohathites, the Gershonites and the Merarites. There was also a numbering of the Levite clan. In the marching orders of the tribes: the Levites would carry the Ark; the Gershonites and Merarites carry the tabernacle and the Kohathites carry the tabernacle funishings.
