So Moses and Aaron and all the leaders of Israel
counted all the Levites by their clans and families.
All the men from thirty to fifty years of age
who came to do the work of serving
and carrying the Tent of Meeting
numbered 8,580.
At the Lord's command through Moses,
each was assigned his work and told what to carry.
Thus they were counted,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
(Numbers 4:46-49)
The Lord said to Moses,
"Say to the Israelites:
'When a man or woman wrongs another in any way
and so is unfaithful to the Lord,
that person is guilty
and must confess the sin he has committed.
He must make full restitution for his wrong . . .'"
(Numbers 5:5-7)
The Lord said to Moses,
"Tell Aaron and his sons,
'This is how you are to bless the Israelites.
Say to them:
"'"The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face toward
and give you peace."'
"So they will put My name on the Israelites,
and I will bless them."
(Numbers 6:22-26)
These were the offerings
for the dedication of the altar
after it was anointed.
When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting
to speak with the Lord,
he heard the Voice speaking to him
from between the two cherubim
above the atonement cover
on the ark of the Testimony.
And he spoke with Him.
(Numbers 7:88-89)
