Numbers: Chapter 1- The Census
Jacob had 12 sons...the census was organized around this organizational format. This is important, as all later organization of Israel is around these twelve sons. Also, when we meet major people later, they are referred to a descendants of these twelve: Sons of Jacob & Leah: Reuben- Leader was Elizur son of Shedeur- 46,500 Simeon- Leader Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai- 59,300 Judah- Leader Nashon son of Amminadab- 74,600 Issachar- Leader Nethanel son of Zuar- 54,400 Zebulun- Leader Eliab son of Helon- 57,400 Levi- (1:47-50) The Levites, however, were not registered by ancestral tribe with the others. For the Lord had told Moses, “The tribe of Levi alone you shall not enroll nor include in the census along with the other Israelites. You are to give the Levites charge of the dweeling of the commandments with all its equipment and all that belongs to it. It is they who shall carry the dwelling with all its equipment and who shall be its’ ministers. Sons of Jacob & Rachel: Ephraim son of Joseph- Leader Elishama son of Ammihud- 40,500 Manasseh son of Joseph- Leader Gamaliel son of Pedahzur- 32,200 Benjamin- Leader Abidan son of Gideoni- 35,400 Sons of Jacob & Zilpah: Gad- Leader Eliasaph son of Deuel- 46,650 Asher- Leader Pogiel son of Ocran- 41,500 Sons of Jacob & Bilhan: Dan- Leader Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai- 62,700 Naphtalki- Leader Ahira son of Enan- 53,400

Oh creator of the universe, who has set the stars in the heavens and causes the sun to rise and set, shed the light of your wisdom into the darkness of my mind. Fill my thoughts with a loving knowledge of you, that I may bring you like to others. Just as you can make even babies speak your truth, instruct my tongue and guide my pen to convey the wonderful glory of the Gospel. Make my intellect sharp, my memory clear, and my words eloquent, so that I may faithfully interpret the mysteries what you have revealed. Categories

To my readers & fellow writers,
I promise: 1. I will pray that God's grace helps illuminate all of our interactions- both those of simple reading and more active conversations. 2. I will communicate with you respectfully and civilly. These are (rightly) issues which we feel passionate about. But even in disagreements, I will respect you fellow "seekers of truth." 3. I will not fall into negative behavior or words, such as insinuations, exaggerations, blames, or personal attacks. I respectfully ask you to do the same. 4. I will pray we will all find the truth and strive to fulfill the two greatest commandments: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."
