EACH MAN … UNDER HIS OWN STANDARD / NUMBERS 1:52

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 1:52

And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

EACH MAN … UNDER HIS OWN STANDARD / NUMBERS 1:52

The Israelite camp was organized with an inner circle of Levites (the family tribe that filled the ministry and worship-leading roles) surrounding the tabernacle (the portable sanctuary and place of worship signifying God’s presence among the people). Then there was an outer circle of the twelve other tribes, three on each side of the tabernacle. Their method of marching or traveling was also organized in such a way that when the cloud of God’s presence lifted, they could move quickly. Also, when the cloud settled, they could find their places in the camp without confusion. The Bible emphasizes the importance of organization so that work can be done smoothly and without waste of time or effort. The tabernacle in the center of the camp was a symbol that the life of the nation centered around the Lord and worshiping Him as their Redeemer (Savior, Rescuer, Life-giver).

603,550 / Numbers 1:46

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 1:46

Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

603,550 / Numbers 1:46

This was the total number of males above the age of twenty, excluding the Levites (Numbers 1:45-47). Therefore, the total of the entire nation of Israel was perhaps around two million people. For this many people to have been continually maintained in the desert would have required a continuous miracle, a truth that God’s Word clearly stresses (Exodus 16:4-15, 31-33; Numbers 20:8; Deuteronomy 8:2-4; 29:5; Psalms 78:26-28; 1 Corinthians 10:4).

CENSUS OF THE WHOLE ISRAELITE COMMUNITY / NUMBERS 1:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 1:2

Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

CENSUS OF THE WHOLE ISRAELITE COMMUNITY / NUMBERS 1:2

The purpose of the census was to organize Israel into a nation and an army (Numbers 1:3). Taking a census emphasized that each individual was important to God’s redemptive purposes and that the nation’s activity was to be ordered and fully accountable to Him (Philippians 4:3; 2 Timothy 2:19).

THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES – DESERT OF SINAI / NUMBERS 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 1:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES – DESERT OF SINAI / NUMBERS 1:1

THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES

God inspired everything that Moses wrote, including all the ideas and the choice of words. This fact is repeated over and over in this book. It is emphasized in the first verse, the last verse and at the beginning of many of the chapters of this book.

DESERT OF SINAI

God’s command to Moses came ten and a half months after the people arrived at Mount Sinai (thirteen months after the exodus). The events recorded in Numbers occurred over a period of nearly thirty-nine years, almost the total time of Israel’s wandering in the desert.
