  • Parashat Bamidbar
    THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION NUMBERS 1:1-4:20 תשרפ רַבְּדִמְבּ / Parashat Bamidbar In this week’s guide… Have you ever felt the need for guidance and direction? Rabbi Jason’s COMMENTARY highlights the value of an experience most of us do everything we possibly can to avoid: time in the desert. In the natural, deserts consist of extreme challenges: radical temperatures, wild creatures, scant resources, and few landmarks. In the spiritual, these challenges also exist but as a Kingdom paradox, they are the conditions for our growth and maturity. This article serves as a guide for those of us in wilderness seasons............................................................................................. 1 Our NEW TESTAMENT TIE-IN connects the closing section of this week’s parashat with another story in the Hebrew Scripture: the tragic events surrounding the death of Uzzah as King David ushered the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. We are also invited to examine a technical prohibition in light of an apostolic declaration in the New Testament. This piece will deepen your appreciation of Yeshua’s sacrifice on Calvary and our new standing in Him........... ....................2 BY THE NUMBERS helps us prepare for this weekend’s holy and glorious celebration: Shavuot. Amazingly, there is a connection between this ancient spiritual holiday and the contemporary civic holiday called Jerusalem Day… revealed by the numbers (of course!). The numbers also bring us back through Israel’s history to the patriarchs—an incredible saga of contending for God’s promises..................................................................................................................... ....................3 _________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW Welcome to the fourth book of Moses: Numbers. Aside from being the title of this week’s portion, Bamidbar is also generally used as the Hebrew title of the entire book.

  • BIBLE STUDY for TRINITY CHURCH
    BIBLE STUDY for TRINITY CHURCH ISSUES& ANSWERS Bible Answers to Contemporary Issues Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Sr. / May 3, 2020 God is Good All The Time There are some stories in Scripture that are puzzling at first glance. In fact, there are some stories that will not make sense or seem applicable to your life until the Holy Spirit reveals its purpose to you. One of those stories for me is the story of Uzzah touching the Ark of God and God striking him dead. We’ve been talking about Issues and Answers, and I’ve focused on the Character of God. In this Bible study we will continue that theme, but I want to pay special attention to the fact that people are QUESTIONING God. Here’s the truth, friend. It’s okay to ask God questions, but it’s not okay to Question God. During this season of pandemic, people want to affix blame. Political blame, education blame, blame the capitalists, hi-tech blame. Folks want to affix blame so they can wash their hands of the problem and walk away. They don’t want to struggle with the why, and the how, and the how can I do my part. Ultimately it turns to religion and people asking, “How can a loving God, if there is a God, let these things happen? The poor get poorer and starve. The rich get richer. The sick get sicker and die. Natural disasters happen and people lose their homes. The innocent are preyed on. Does this mean God is Unjust? Here’s what I know.

  • FIFA and the WEIGHT of the WORLD Parashat Naso – May 29, 2015 / 5775 – Rabbi Joel Nickerson
    FIFA AND THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD Parashat Naso – May 29, 2015 / 5775 – Rabbi Joel Nickerson Beyond the borders of the United States, there is a religion which holds millions within its grasp; a religion that simultaneously unites nations and yet also divides people with sometimes raucous and destructive results. It is a religion with temples around the world – temples regularly packed with thousands of people, all of whom participate in chants that shake the floor and deafen the ears. There are tribes within this religion which unite under various colors and crests and who clash with one another in tragic ways. It is a religion that has slowly made its way into our secularized society here in the United States, though its strategy for proselytizing has not caught on as strongly as its followers would hope. Around the world, it uses celebrity members to attract attention and support, with its main strategy being a focus on the youth – offering dreams of messianic redemption from the slums and squalor of many of the world’s poorest cities and regions. It has found its place within political inner circles and swayed nations to redirect millions of dollars towards its own causes and its own growth. Operating largely behind closed doors, just in the years between 2011 and 2014, it has an estimated revenue of $5.7 billion! This religion, in preparation for one of its large celebrations in 2022, is building a new series of temples in Qatar. Under the blistering heat of that desert nation, hundreds of migrant workers, many from Nepal and other South Asian nations, have died in conditions that have violated international labor laws and human rights.

  • Psalm 84; 87; 42-45 Overview the Roots of Today’S Lesson Go Back 700 Years
    Week Twenty-seven: The King’s Singers—Learning Joy in Service - Psalm 84; 87; 42-45 Overview The roots of today’s lesson go back 700 years. In the Exodus Era, God had assigned each tribe its camping space around the Tabernacle— Judah to the east, closest to the Tabernacle entrance, with other tribes arranged in armies, clockwise in order (Num. 2). None of the tribes lived in direct contact with the Tabernacle, however; God reserved that honor for the Levites. The sub-tribe of Gershon camped to the west (3:23), behind the Tabernacle; Kohath to the south (3:29); Merari to the north (3:35); and the sons of Aaron to the east, in front of the entrance (3:38). Each Levite group had a distinct area of service as the Israelites carried the Tabernacle from place to place in the desert of Sinai. Before breaking down the Tabernacle, the sons of Aaron would enter and cover the articles inside the Tabernacle with special wrappings, to protect them from being seen or touched, so that the Kohathites, who would carry them, would not die (4:1-15, 17-20). The Kohathites carried the holy things on their shoulders (7:9). Outside of these duties, the Levites were to serve and assist the sons of Aaron in the duties of the Tabernacle (18:1-4). In return they would receive the tithes of Israel and special cities and fields throughout the land of Canaan. The Levites’ work may not have been glamorous, but it was necessary, helpful, and honorable—except according to Korah.

    © Nathan E. Brown March 29 – Chronological Synopsis of the Bible – LEB Version comeafterme.com Cities of Refuge (1400 BC) Joshua 20 1 And Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through the hand of Moses. 3 Anyone who kills a person by accident or unintentionally may flee there; they will be for yourselves a refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case to the elders of that city; and they will take him into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them. 5 And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously. 6 The killer will stay in that city until he stands before the congregation for the trial, until the death of the one who is the high priest in those days. Then the killer will return to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.’” 7 So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. 8 Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in the Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh.

  • LESSONS from the LEVITES John M. Sinclair
    LESSONS FROM THE LEVITES John M. Sinclair Under the law of Moses, priests had to be not only of the tribe of Levi, but of the family of Aaron, who was the first high priest. The priests had assistants, who were also of the tribe of Levi but not of Aaron’s family. There were three divisions of them, according to which son of Levi they were descendants of— Gershon, Kohath, or Merari. (The priestly family were descendants of Kohath, as were many other Levites who were not of the priestly family). We read about the duties of the Levites in Numbers chapter 3. Since, in the New Testament, all Christians are part of the priesthood of all believers, we can learn lessons applicable to us all from the duties of all the Levites. The duties of the Gershonites were concerned mainly with the artistic parts of the tabernacle, especially the curtains woven in fine tapestry, and some of them embroidered to represent cherubim. Their duties teach us the beauty of the divine— that is, whatever is of God. The person who doesn’t know God, isn’t likely to see any beauty in what’s of God. The beauty we’re referring to is NOT the aesthetic beauty of highly ornamented church buildings, nor that of professional choral music, etc. It is the beauty and splendour of God Himself, and His glory. It is what makes time spent with God delightful to those who know Him, that causes them to love holiness and loathe sin. The duties of the Kohathites were concerned mainly with the furniture in the tabernacle proper (that is, not the outer court) — the ark of the covenant, incense altar, table of showbread, and lampstand; and they also took care of the bronze altar at the gate of the courtyard, and the tub (laver) between that altar and the tabernacle.

  • The Levitical Priesthood
    The Levitical Priesthood L. Michael Morales L. Michael Morales is Professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, serves as a teaching elder in the PCA, and is a husband, and father of four boys. He earned his PhD under Gordon J. Wenham at Trinity College, Bristol UK, and has authored several books, including The Tabernacle Pre-Figured: Cosmic Mountain Ideology in Genesis and Exodus (Peeters, 2012), Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord? A Biblical Theology of Leviticus (IVP Academic, 2015), and Exodus Old and New: A Biblical Theology of Redemption (IVP Academic, forthcoming). Thankfully, the complex subject of the Levitical priesthood in ancient Israel has been cultivated by helpful studies related to its history and development, as well as to the social place and basic tasks of Levitical priests, in terms of serving at Yahweh’s house and guarding its sacred space, mediating Israel’s access in the divine service, and teaching divine torah.1 Rather than rehearsing such studies, the present essay attempts instead to offer a modest sketch of the theology of Israel’s priesthood. Serving as something of a typology of the priesthood, and one that resonates with the temple ideologies of other ancient cultures, we will examine the fundamental analogy between cult and cosmos. Before doing so, however, we will begin with the origin of the Levitical priesthood, which may then serve to inform the theology of both the Levitical priesthood’s basis and its eventual obsolescence. That Aaron, Moses’ elder brother, was chosen by God to serve as high priest, his house to carry on the priestly lineage of Israel, is asserted in the book of Exodus (24:1, 9; 28:1-3; 29:1-37; 32:1-6; etc.), and then confirmed magnificently in the stories and legislation found in Numbers 16-18, which center upon Aaron’s budding staff.2 However, Yahweh’s choice of Aaron’s house is simply assumed, and not explained.

    THE BOOK OF JOSHUA “Be Strong and Courageous!” -Joshua in the Old Testament -Jesus in the New Testament Date: 7-12-15 Lesson: 19 A. TEXT: Chapter 21 (1) Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. (2) And they said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan , "The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock." (3) So by command of the Lord the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasturelands out of their inheritance. (4) The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities. (5) And the rest of the Kohathites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. (6) The Gershonites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. (7) The Merarites according to their clans received from the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. (8) These cities and their pasturelands the people of Israel gave by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
