  Welcome

  Dwelling

  Place

  from

  I'm

  Stephanie
• 0:03
  Cocks
• 0:04
  and
• 0:04
  we
• 0:04
  believe
• 0:05
  the
• 0:05
  Lord
• 0:06
  God
• 0:06
  creator
• 0:07
  of
• 0:07
  the
• 0:07
  universe
• 0:07
  longs
• 0:08
  to
• 0:08
  dwell
• 0:08
  and
• 0:08
  abide
• 0:09
  with
• 0:09
  us
• 0:09
  and
• 0:09
  when
• 0:09
  we
• 0:09
  seek
• 0:10
  Him
• 0:10
  first,
• 0:10
  that
• 0:10
  he
• 0:11
  guides
• 0:11
  us
• 0:11
  in
• 0:11
  wisdom
• 0:12
  for
• 0:12
  our
• 0:12
  families
• 0:13
  and
• 0:13
  helps
• 0:13
  us
• 0:13
  become
• 0:14
  the
• 0:14
  mothers
• 0:14
  that
• 0:14
  we
• 0:14
  long
• 0:14
  to
• 0:14
  be.
• 0:15
  But
• 0:15
  it's
• 0:15
  not
• 0:15
  just
• 0:16
  for
• 0:16
  our
• 0:16
  kids'
• 0:16
  benefit,
• 0:17
  it's
• 0:17
  for
• 0:17
  our
• 0:17
  joy
• 0:18
  and
• 0:18
  blessing
• 0:18
  as
• 0:19
  well.
• 0:19
  We
• 0:19
  are
• 0:19
  going
• 0:20
  through
• 0:20
  the
• 0:20
  Bible
• 0:20
  chronologically.
• 0:21
  I
• 0:21
  use
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  ESV
• 0:22
  version,
• 0:22
  but
• 0:23
  there
• 0:23
  are
• 0:23
  plenty
• 0:23
  of
• 0:24
  great
• 0:24
  Bible
• 0:24
  translations
• 0:25
  you
• 0:25
  can
• 0:25
  utilize.
• 0:26
  and
• 0:26
  if
• 0:26
  you're
• 0:26
  new
• 0:26
  to
• 0:26
  this,
• 0:27
  we
• 0:27
  have
• 0:27
  three
• 0:28
  different
• 0:28
  tracks.
• 0:29
  You
• 0:29
  can
• 0:29
  convict
• 0:29
  the
• 0:29
  Bible
• 0:29
  reading
• 0:30
  plan
• 0:30
  that
• 0:30
  works
• 0:31
  best
• 0:31
  for
• 0:31
  you.
• 0:32
  I'm
• 0:32
  gonna
• 0:32
  link
• 0:32
  in
• 0:32
  our
• 0:33

  with

• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  help
• 0:38
  you
• 0:38
  be
• 0:38
  in
• 0:39
  God's
• 0:39
  word.
• 0:39
  I'm
• 0:39
  going
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  speak
• 0:40
  delicately,
• 0:41
  But
• 0:41
  this
• 0:41
  episode
• 0:42
  still
• 0:42
  deals
• 0:42
  with
• 0:42
  some
• 0:43
  sensitive
• 0:43
  topics.
• 0:44
  Today
• 0:44
  we're
• 0:44
  looking
• 0:44
  at
• 0:45
  numbers
• 0:45
  chapter
• 0:46
  five
• 0:46
  through
• 0:46
  eight.
• 0:47
  Interestingly,
• 0:47
  Moses
• 0:48
  was
• 0:48
  not
• 0:48
  concerned
• 0:49
  about
• 0:49
  presenting.
• 0:50
  Numbers
• 0:50
  in
• 0:50
  a
• 0:51
  chronological
• 0:51
  order
• 0:52
  necessarily.
• 0:53
  More
• 0:53
  so.
• 0:54
  He
• 0:54
  wanted
• 0:54
  to
• 0:54
  focus
• 0:55
  on
• 0:55
  obedience.
• 0:56
  But
• 0:56
  in
• 0:56
  these
• 0:56
  first
• 0:57
  couple
• 0:57
  chapters,
• 0:57
  we'll
• 0:58
  continue
• 0:58
  to
• 0:58
  read
• 0:59
  about
• 0:59
  God's
• 0:59
  guidelines
• 1:00
  for
• 1:00
  helping
• 1:01
  these
• 1:01
  people
• 1:02
  be
• 1:02
  set
• 1:02
  apart
• 1:03
  in
• 1:03
  righteousness
• 1:04
  and
• 1:04
  holiness.
• 1:04
  In
• 1:04
  chapter
• 1:05
  five,
• 1:05
  verse
• 1:05
  five,
• 1:06
  we
• 1:06
  read
• 1:06
  and
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  Lord
• 1:07
  spoke
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  Moses
• 1:08
  saying,
• 1:08
  speak
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  people
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  Israel.
• 1:10
  When
• 1:10
  a
• 1:10
  man
• 1:10
  or
• 1:10
  woman
• 1:11
  commits.
• 1:11
  any
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  sins
• 1:12
  that
• 1:12
  people
• 1:13
  commit.
• 1:13
  By
• 1:13
  breaking
• 1:14
  faith
• 1:14
  with
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  Lord
• 1:15
  and
• 1:15
  that
• 1:15
  person
• 1:16
  realizes
• 1:16
  his
• 1:16
  guilt,
• 1:17
  he
• 1:17
  shall
• 1:17
  confess
• 1:18
  his
• 1:18
  sin
• 1:18
  that
• 1:18
  he
• 1:18
  has
• 1:19
  committed
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  he
• 1:20
  shall
• 1:20
  make
• 1:20
  full
• 1:21
  restitution
• 1:21
  for
• 1:21
  his
• 1:22
  wrong,
• 1:22
  adding
• 1:22
  a
• 1:23
  fifth
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  it
• 1:23
  and
• 1:24
  giving
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  him
• 1:25
  to
• 1:25
  whom
• 1:25
  he
• 1:25
  did
• 1:25
  the
• 1:26
  wrong.
• 1:26
  The
• 1:26
  Lord
• 1:26
  has
• 1:27
  already
• 1:27
  addressed
• 1:27
  a
• 1:27
  lot
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  sins
• 1:28
  against
• 1:29
  him.
• 1:29
  And
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  ways
• 1:30
  that
• 1:30
  people
• 1:30
  become
• 1:30
  unclean,
• 1:31
  but
• 1:31
  now
• 1:31
  he's
• 1:32
  talking
• 1:32
  about
• 1:32
  more
• 1:33
  personal
• 1:33
  sins
• 1:34
  that
• 1:34
  might
• 1:34
  not
• 1:34
  be
• 1:34
  outwardly
• 1:35
  obvious.
• 1:36
  God's
• 1:36
  heart
• 1:36
  for
• 1:36
  forgiveness
• 1:37
  is
• 1:38
  so
• 1:38
  apparent
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  me
• 1:39
  when
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  keep
• 1:39
  reading
• 1:40
  these
• 1:40
  words.
• 1:40
  When
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  man
• 1:41
  or
• 1:41
  woman
• 1:42
  commits
• 1:42
  any
• 1:43
  of
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  sins
• 1:43
  that
• 1:43
  people
• 1:44
  commit,
• 1:44
  he
• 1:45
  really
• 1:45
  is
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  God
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  wants
• 1:46
  us
• 1:46
  to
• 1:47
  be
• 1:47
  restored
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  him.
• 1:48
  But
• 1:48
  there
• 1:48
  were
• 1:48
  consequences
• 1:49
  for
• 1:49
  more
• 1:49
  serious
• 1:50
  sin.
• 1:50
  And
• 1:50
  if
• 1:50
  you
• 1:50
  keep
• 1:51
  reading
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  chapter
• 1:52
  five,
• 1:52
  you'll
• 1:52
  see
• 1:52
  what
• 1:53
  happens.
• 1:53
  If
• 1:53
  a
• 1:53
  husband
• 1:54
  suspects
• 1:54
  his
• 1:55
  wife
• 1:55
  has
• 1:55
  been
• 1:55
  unfaithful,
• 1:56
  God
• 1:56
  continues
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  call
• 1:57
  them
• 1:57
  to
• 1:58
  purity,
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  he
• 1:58
  describes
• 1:59
  what
• 1:59
  must
• 2:00
  be
• 2:00
  done
• 2:00
  if
• 2:00
  one
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  most
• 2:01
  private
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  sins
• 2:02
  is
• 2:02
  committed.
• 2:03
  If
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  husband
• 2:04
  is
• 2:04
  experiencing
• 2:04
  jealousy
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  really
• 2:05
  believes
• 2:06
  his
• 2:06
  wife
• 2:06
  may
• 2:06
  have
• 2:07
  been
• 2:07
  unfaithful,
• 2:08
  an
• 2:08
  elaborate
• 2:08
  process
• 2:09
  is
• 2:09
  described.
• 2:10
  She
• 2:10
  would've
• 2:10
  even
• 2:11
  had
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  drink
• 2:11
  holy
• 2:12
  water
• 2:12
  that
• 2:12
  was
• 2:12
  mixed
• 2:13
  with
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  dirt
• 2:14
  from
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  floor
• 2:14
  of
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  temple.
• 2:15
  It
• 2:15
  would've
• 2:16
  been
• 2:16
  absolutely
• 2:16
  humiliating
• 2:17
  to
• 2:17
  go
• 2:17
  through
• 2:17
  it,
• 2:18
  but
• 2:18
  God
• 2:18
  is
• 2:18
  creating
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  deterrent.
• 2:19
  He's
• 2:20
  saying,
• 2:20
  if
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  commit
• 2:21
  this
• 2:21
  sin,
• 2:22
  you're
• 2:22
  not
• 2:22
  just
• 2:22
  sitting
• 2:23
  against
• 2:23
  your
• 2:23
  husband,
• 2:24
  you're
• 2:24
  also
• 2:24
  sitting
• 2:25
  against
• 2:25
  me,
• 2:25
  and
• 2:26
  this
• 2:26
  is
• 2:26
  not
• 2:26
  what
• 2:26
  my
• 2:27
  people
• 2:27
  do.
• 2:27
  But
• 2:28
  if
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  woman
• 2:28
  is
• 2:28
  innocent,
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  Lord
• 2:29
  will
• 2:29
  prove
• 2:30
  her
• 2:30
  innocence
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  bless
• 2:31
  her.
• 2:31
  If
• 2:32
  she's
• 2:32
  not,
• 2:32
  there
• 2:33
  will
• 2:33
  be
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  consequence.
• 2:34
  Although
• 2:34
  my
• 2:34
  amaris
• 2:35
  disagree
• 2:35
  about
• 2:36
  what
• 2:36
  this
• 2:36
  would
• 2:36
  be,
• 2:37
  one
• 2:37
  says
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  the
• 2:38
  woman
• 2:38
  would've
• 2:38
  been
• 2:38
  sentenced
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  death,
• 2:40
  but
• 2:40
  another
• 2:41
  said
• 2:41
  they
• 2:41
  didn't
• 2:41
  believe
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  Lord
• 2:42
  was
• 2:42
  requiring
• 2:43
  death,
• 2:43
  and
• 2:44
  it
• 2:44
  chose
• 2:44
  an
• 2:44
  act
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  grace.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:45
  also
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  this
• 2:46
  is
• 2:46
  providing
• 2:46
  protection
• 2:47
  for
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  wife.
• 2:48
  If
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  husband
• 2:48
  was
• 2:49
  falsely
• 2:49
  accusing
• 2:49
  her,
• 2:50
  she
• 2:50
  could
• 2:50
  be
• 2:50
  publicly
• 2:51
  vindicated.
• 2:52
  God
• 2:52
  continues
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  elevate
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  marital
• 2:53
  relationship
• 2:54
  just
• 2:54
  as
• 2:54
  he
• 2:54
  wants
• 2:55
  our
• 2:55
  full
• 2:55
  devotion
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  him.
• 2:56
  He
• 2:56
  wants
• 2:57
  us
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  be
• 2:57
  faithfully
• 2:58
  committed
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  one
• 2:58
  another.
• 2:59
  It
• 2:59
  makes
• 2:59
  me
• 2:59
  think
• 2:59
  of
• 2:59
  Hebrews
• 3:00
  13.
• 3:00
  in
• 3:00
  verse
• 3:01
  four,
• 3:01
  let
• 3:01
  marriage
• 3:02
  be
• 3:02
  held
• 3:02
  in
• 3:03
  honor
• 3:03
  among
• 3:04
  all
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  let
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  marriage
• 3:05
  bed
• 3:05
  be
• 3:05
  undefiled
• 3:06
  for
• 3:06
  God
• 3:06
  will
• 3:06
  judge
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  sexually
• 3:07
  immoral
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  adulterous
• 3:09
  And
• 3:10
  as
• 3:10
  I
• 3:10
  read
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  beginning
• 3:10
  of
• 3:11
  numbers,
• 3:11
  chapter
• 3:11
  six
• 3:12
  and
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  process
• 3:13
  for
• 3:13
  committing
• 3:14
  to
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  Nazarite
• 3:14
  vow,
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  want

  who

  else

  in

  scripture
• 3:17
  was
• 3:17
  called

  to

  make

  this

  commitment.
• 3:19
  Chapter
• 3:19
  six,
• 3:20
  verse
• 3:20
  one
• 3:20
  begins,
• 3:21
  and
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  Lord
• 3:22
  spoke
• 3:22
  to
• 3:22
  Moses
• 3:22
  saying,
• 3:23
  speak
• 3:23
  to
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  people
• 3:24
  of
• 3:24
  Israel
• 3:25
  and
• 3:25
  say
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  them.
• 3:26
  When
• 3:26
  either
• 3:26
  a
• 3:26
  man
• 3:27
  or
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  woman
• 3:27
  makes
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  special
• 3:28
  vow,
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  vow
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  an
• 3:30
  nite
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  separate
• 3:30
  himself
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  Lord,
• 3:32
  he
• 3:32
  shall
• 3:32
  separate
• 3:32
  himself
• 3:33
  from
• 3:33
  wine
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  strong
• 3:34
  drink.
• 3:35
  He
• 3:35
  shall
• 3:35
  drink
• 3:35
  no
• 3:36
  vinegar
• 3:36
  made
• 3:36
  from

  wine
• 3:37
  or
• 3:37
  strong
• 3:37
  drink,
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  shall
• 3:38
  not
• 3:38
  drink
• 3:39
  any
• 3:39
  juice
• 3:39
  or
• 3:40
  grapes
• 3:40
  or
• 3:40
  eat
• 3:40
  grapes,
• 3:41
  fresh
• 3:41
  or
• 3:42
  dried.
• 3:42
  All
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  days
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  his
• 3:43
  separation,
• 3:44
  he
• 3:44
  shall
• 3:44
  eat
• 3:44
  nothing
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  is
• 3:45
  produced
• 3:46
  by
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  grapevine,
• 3:46
  not
• 3:47
  even
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  seeds
• 3:48
  or
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  skins.
• 3:48
  All
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  days
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  his
• 3:49
  vow
• 3:50
  separation.
• 3:51
  No
• 3:51
  razor
• 3:51
  shall
• 3:51
  touch
• 3:52
  his
• 3:52
  head
• 3:52
  until
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  time
• 3:53
  is
• 3:53
  completed
• 3:54
  for
• 3:54
  which
• 3:54
  he
• 3:54
  separates
• 3:55
  himself
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  Lord.
• 3:56
  He
• 3:56
  shall
• 3:56
  be
• 3:56
  holy.
• 3:57
  He
• 3:57
  shall
• 3:57
  let
• 3:57
  the
• 3:58
  locks
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  his
• 3:58
  hair
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  his
• 3:59
  head
• 3:59
  grow
• 3:59
  long,
• 4:00
  all
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  days
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  he
• 4:01
  separates
• 4:01
  himself
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  Lord.
• 4:02
  He
• 4:03
  shall
• 4:03
  not
• 4:03
  go
• 4:03
  near
• 4:03
  a
• 4:04
  dead
• 4:04
  body,
• 4:04
  not
• 4:05
  even
• 4:05
  for
• 4:05
  his
• 4:05
  father
• 4:06
  or
• 4:06
  for
• 4:07
  his
• 4:07
  mother,
• 4:07
  for
• 4:08
  brother
• 4:08
  or
• 4:08
  sister.
• 4:09
  If
• 4:09
  they
• 4:09
  die,
• 4:09
  shall
• 4:10
  he
• 4:10
  make
• 4:10
  himself
• 4:10
  unclean
• 4:11
  because
• 4:12
  his
• 4:12
  separation
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  God
• 4:13
  is
• 4:13
  on
• 4:13
  his
• 4:13
  head
• 4:14
  all
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  days
• 4:14
  of
• 4:14
  his
• 4:15
  separation.
• 4:15
  He
• 4:15
  is
• 4:16
  holy
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  Lord.
• 4:17
  Hmm.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:17
  then
• 4:17
  God
• 4:18
  continues
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  describe
• 4:19
  what
• 4:19
  this
• 4:19
  commitment
• 4:19
  would
• 4:19
  entail.
• 4:20
  If
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  thought
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  Samson
• 4:21
  in
• 4:21
  the
• 4:22
  book
• 4:22
  of
• 4:22
  Judges
• 4:22
  or
• 4:23
  John
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  Baptist
• 4:23
  taking
• 4:24
  this
• 4:24
  vow,
• 4:24
  you
• 4:25
  are
• 4:25
  correct.
• 4:25
  I
• 4:25
  find
• 4:26
  it
• 4:26
  fascinating
• 4:26
  that
• 4:27
  this
• 4:27
  was
• 4:27
  actually
• 4:27
  something
• 4:28
  parents
• 4:28
  could
• 4:28
  commit
• 4:29
  their
• 4:29
  children
• 4:29
  to
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  initiate
• 4:30
  it
• 4:31
  as
• 4:31
  Hannah
• 4:31
  did
• 4:31
  with
• 4:32
  Samuel.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:32
  did
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  catch
• 4:33
  that?
• 4:33
  It
• 4:34
  said
• 4:34
  if
• 4:34
  any
• 4:34
  man
• 4:35
  or
• 4:35
  woman
• 4:36
  wanted
• 4:36
  to
• 4:36
  consecrate
• 4:37
  themself
• 4:37
  onto
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  Lord,
• 4:38
  how
• 4:38
  beautiful
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  this
• 4:39
  opportunity
• 4:40
  was
• 4:40
  available.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  seems
• 4:41
  it
• 4:42
  was
• 4:42
  for
• 4:42
  any
• 4:42
  one
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  any
• 4:43
  tribe.
• 4:43
  You
• 4:43
  didn't
• 4:44
  have
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  be
• 4:44
  born
• 4:44
  into
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  Levitical
• 4:45
  priesthood
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  be
• 4:46
  set
• 4:47
  apart,
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  serve
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  Lord.
• 4:48
  Anyone
• 4:48
  who
• 4:48
  wanted
• 4:49
  to
• 4:49
  embrace
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  Call
• 4:49
  of
• 4:50
  Holiness,
• 4:50
  who
• 4:51
  wanted
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  consecrate
• 4:52
  themselves
• 4:52
  to
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  Lord
• 4:53
  had
• 4:53
  an
• 4:53
  opportunity
• 4:54
  to
• 4:54
  do
• 4:54
  so.
• 4:54
  You'll
• 4:54
  probably
• 4:55
  find
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  words
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  this
• 4:56
  blessing
• 4:56
  familiar,
• 4:57
  and
• 4:57
  you
• 4:57
  might
• 4:58
  be
• 4:58
  surprised
• 4:58
  that
• 4:59
  these
• 4:59
  verses
• 4:59
  are
• 4:59
  found
• 5:00
  in
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  Book
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  Numbers.
• 5:01
  In
• 5:01
  6
• 5:02
  23,
• 5:02
  we
• 5:02
  read.
• 5:03
  Thus,
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  shall
• 5:04
  bless
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  people
• 5:04
  of
• 5:05
  Israel,
• 5:05
  you
• 5:05
  shall
• 5:06
  say
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  them.
• 5:06
  The
• 5:06
  Lord
• 5:07
  bless
• 5:07
  you
• 5:07
  and
• 5:08
  keep
• 5:08
  you.
• 5:08
  The
• 5:08
  Lord
• 5:09
  make
• 5:09
  his
• 5:09
  face
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  shine
• 5:10
  upon
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  be
• 5:11
  gracious
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  you.
• 5:12
  The
• 5:12
  Lord
• 5:12
  lift
• 5:12
  up
• 5:13
  his
• 5:13
  countenance
• 5:13
  upon
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  give
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  peace.
• 5:15
  So
• 5:15
  shall
• 5:15
  they
• 5:16
  put
• 5:16
  my
• 5:16
  name
• 5:16
  upon
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  people
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  Israel
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  will
• 5:18
  bless
• 5:18
  them.
• 5:19
  This
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  sweet,
• 5:20
  concise
• 5:21
  prayer,
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  it
• 5:22
  might
• 5:22
  be
• 5:22
  even
• 5:22
  be
• 5:23
  something
• 5:23
  you've
• 5:23
  said
• 5:23
  over
• 5:24
  your
• 5:24
  children.
• 5:24
  When
• 5:25
  it
• 5:25
  says,
• 5:25
  may
• 5:25
  God's
• 5:26
  face
• 5:26
  shine
• 5:26
  upon
• 5:27
  you,
• 5:27
  this
• 5:27
  is
• 5:27
  saying
• 5:27
  his
• 5:28
  favor,
• 5:28
  but
• 5:28
  also
• 5:29
  his
• 5:29
  presence
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  keeping
• 5:31
  you
• 5:31
  relates
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  preservation
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  him
• 5:33
  being
• 5:33
  gracious
• 5:34
  as
• 5:34
  him,
• 5:34
  showing
• 5:35
  kindness
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  blessing
• 5:36
  in
• 5:36
  all
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  it.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  now
• 5:37
  we're
• 5:37
  onto
• 5:37
  chapter
• 5:38
  seven
• 5:38
  did
• 5:38
  you
• 5:39
  know
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  this
• 5:39
  is
• 5:39
  the
• 5:40
  second
• 5:40
  longest
• 5:41
  chapter
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  scripture?
• 5:42
  Second
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  Psalm
• 5:43
  one
• 5:43
  19.
• 5:43
  So
• 5:44
  if
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  are
• 5:44
  listening,
• 5:44
  and
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  goes
• 5:45
  on
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  on
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  on,
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  just
• 5:47
  wanted
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  give
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  heads
• 5:48
  up
• 5:48
  that
• 5:49
  today's
• 5:49
  reading
• 5:49
  is
• 5:50
  a
• 5:50
  little
• 5:50
  bit
• 5:50
  lengthy.
• 5:51
  Chapter
• 5:51
  seven
• 5:52
  describes
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  donations
• 5:53
  that
• 5:53
  were
• 5:53
  made
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  temple.
• 5:54
  If
• 5:54
  you've
• 5:55
  been
• 5:55
  walking
• 5:55
  with
• 5:55
  us
• 5:56
  since
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  beginning,
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  might
• 5:57
  recall
• 5:58
  that
• 5:58
  before
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  tabernacle
• 5:59
  was
• 5:59
  constructed,
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  Israelites
• 6:00
  brought
• 6:01
  donations
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  temple
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  now
• 6:02
  more
• 6:03
  offerings
• 6:03
  are
• 6:03
  coming
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  for
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  dedication.
• 6:05
  It
• 6:05
  is
• 6:05
  neat
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  see
• 6:06
  how
• 6:06
  practical
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  lot
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  this
• 6:07
  was
• 6:08
  as
• 6:08
  they're
• 6:08
  giving
• 6:08
  wagons
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  carts
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  oxen
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  materials
• 6:11
  of
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  tabernacle
• 6:12
  needed
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  be
• 6:12
  transported.
• 6:13
  so
• 6:14
  those
• 6:14
  would've
• 6:14
  been
• 6:14
  very
• 6:14
  helpful.
• 6:15
  The
• 6:15
  men
• 6:15
  that
• 6:16
  came
• 6:16
  to
• 6:16
  present
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  offering
• 6:17
  from
• 6:17
  each
• 6:17
  tribe
• 6:17
  were
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  same
• 6:18
  men
• 6:19
  that
• 6:19
  were
• 6:19
  selected
• 6:20
  in
• 6:20
  chapter
• 6:20
  one
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  be
• 6:21
  in
• 6:21
  charge
• 6:21
  of
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  census
• 6:22
  for
• 6:22
  each
• 6:22
  of
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  designated
• 6:23
  tribes,
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  we'll
• 6:24
  see
• 6:24
  their
• 6:25
  names

• 7:25
  This

  a

  dedication

  offering

  for

  the

• 7:28
  after

  it

  was

  anointed.
• 7:29
  it
• 7:29
  concludes
• 7:30
  in
• 7:30
  verse
• 7:30
  89,
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  Moses
• 7:32
  went
• 7:32
  into
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  tent
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  meeting
• 7:33
  to
• 7:34
  speak
• 7:34
  with
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  Lord.
• 7:35
  He
• 7:35
  heard
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  voice
• 7:35
  speaking
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  him
• 7:36
  from
• 7:37
  above
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  mercy
• 7:38
  seat
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  was
• 7:38
  on
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  arc
• 7:39
  of
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  testimony
• 7:40
  from
• 7:40
  between
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  two
• 7:41
  cherin
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  spoke
• 7:42
  to
• 7:43
  him.
• 7:43
  It's
• 7:43
  almost
• 7:44
  as
• 7:44
  though
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  Lord
• 7:44
  is
• 7:45
  saying,
• 7:45
  wow,
• 7:46
  if
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  are
• 7:46
  gonna
• 7:47
  bring
• 7:47
  me
• 7:47
  all
• 7:47
  of
• 7:47
  this,
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  am
• 7:48
  gonna
• 7:49
  show
• 7:49
  up
• 7:49
  for
• 7:49
  you.
• 7:50
  He
• 7:50
  is
• 7:50
  so
• 7:50
  pleased
• 7:51
  at
• 7:51
  their
• 7:51
  hearts.
• 7:51
  Remember
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  Israelites
• 7:53
  have
• 7:53
  been
• 7:53
  quite
• 7:53
  fickle,
• 7:54
  but
• 7:54
  when
• 7:54
  they
• 7:54
  have
• 7:55
  these
• 7:55
  moments
• 7:55
  of
• 7:55
  devotion
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  generosity,
• 7:57
  it
• 7:57
  seems
• 7:57
  God
• 7:58
  chooses
• 7:58
  to,
• 7:58
  to
• 7:59
  delight
• 7:59
  in
• 7:59
  and
• 8:00
  enter
• 8:00
  in
• 8:00
  with
• 8:00
  them.
• 8:01
  In
• 8:01
  chapter
• 8:01
  eight,
• 8:02
  God
• 8:02
  explains
• 8:03
  how
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  Israelites
• 8:03
  should
• 8:03
  be
• 8:04
  brought
• 8:04
  before
• 8:04
  him
• 8:05
  and
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  people
• 8:05
  should
• 8:06
  lay
• 8:06
  their
• 8:06
  hands
• 8:06
  on
• 8:06
  them.
• 8:07
  It
• 8:07
  says
• 8:07
  that
• 8:07
  phrase
• 8:08
  multiple
• 8:08
  times,
• 8:09
  that
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  people
• 8:09
  should
• 8:09
  lay
• 8:10
  their
• 8:10
  hands
• 8:10
  on
• 8:10
  them
• 8:10
  to
• 8:11
  consecrate
• 8:11
  them.
• 8:12
  Have
• 8:12
  you
• 8:12
  ever
• 8:12
  wondered
• 8:13
  if
• 8:13
  there's
• 8:13
  a
• 8:13
  biblical
• 8:13
  basis
• 8:14
  for
• 8:14
  that
• 8:14
  practice
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  prayer?
• 8:15
  Well,
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  can
• 8:16
  rest
• 8:16
  assured
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  there
• 8:17
  is,
• 8:17
  and
• 8:18
  eight
• 8:18
  16
• 8:18
  tells
• 8:19
  us.
• 8:19
  They
• 8:19
  are
• 8:19
  wholly
• 8:20
  given
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  me
• 8:21
  from
• 8:21
  among
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  people
• 8:22
  of
• 8:22
  Israel
• 8:23
  instead
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  all
• 8:23
  who
• 8:23
  opened
• 8:24
  the
• 8:24
  womb,
• 8:24
  the
• 8:25
  firstborn
• 8:25
  of
• 8:25
  all
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  people
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  Israel.
• 8:26
  I
• 8:27
  have
• 8:27
  taken
• 8:27
  them
• 8:27
  for
• 8:28
  myself.
• 8:28
  What
• 8:29
  an
• 8:29
  honor
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  be
• 8:29
  chosen
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  serve
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  Lord
• 8:31
  as
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  Levite.
• 8:32
  But
• 8:32
  you
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  I
• 8:32
  have
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  same
• 8:33
  honor
• 8:33
  as
• 8:34
  well,
• 8:34
  whether
• 8:34
  you
• 8:35
  are
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  wife,
• 8:35
  a
• 8:36
  mother,
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  daughter
• 8:37
  of
• 8:37
  Christ,
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  churchgoer,
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  sister,
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  friend.
• 8:40
  The
• 8:40
  Lord
• 8:40
  has
• 8:40
  prepared
• 8:41
  good
• 8:41
  works
• 8:41
  for
• 8:41
  you.
• 8:42
  A
• 8:42
  scripture
• 8:42
  says
• 8:43
  before
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  creation
• 8:44
  of
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  world,
• 8:45
  so
• 8:45
  when
• 8:45
  you,
• 8:46
  whether
• 8:46
  it's
• 8:47
  staying
• 8:47
  faithful
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  your
• 8:48
  marriage,
• 8:49
  devoting
• 8:49
  your
• 8:49
  children
• 8:50
  onto
• 8:50
  him,
• 8:50
  bringing
• 8:51
  offerings
• 8:51
  before
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  Lord.
• 8:52
  Or
• 8:53
  serving
• 8:53
  with
• 8:53
  whatever
• 8:54
  gift
• 8:54
  he's
• 8:54
  given
• 8:54
  you.
• 8:55
  You
• 8:55
  are
• 8:55
  walking
• 8:56
  in
• 8:56
  those
• 8:56
  works.
• 8:57
  Heavenly
• 8:57
  Father,
• 8:58
  as
• 8:58
  we
• 8:59
  read
• 8:59
  about
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  Levites
• 9:00
  being
• 9:00
  set
• 9:00
  apart
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  serve
• 9:01
  you
• 9:01
  and
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  vow
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  Nazarites
• 9:03
  being
• 9:03
  consecrated
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  you.
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  pray
• 9:05
  our
• 9:05
  hearts
• 9:05
  would
• 9:06
  be
• 9:06
  devoted
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  your
• 9:06
  work
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  that
• 9:08
  we
• 9:08
  would
• 9:08
  lay
• 9:08
  down
• 9:08
  our
• 9:08
  own
• 9:09
  agendas.
• 9:10
  Though
• 9:10
  motherhood
• 9:10
  and
• 9:11
  life
• 9:11
  seems
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  continually
• 9:12
  overhaul
• 9:13
  our
• 9:13
  plans,
• 9:14
  we
• 9:14
  ask
• 9:14
  that
• 9:14
  you
• 9:15
  would
• 9:15
  help
• 9:15
  us
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  embrace
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  interruptions
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  our
• 9:17
  day,
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  we
• 9:18
  would
• 9:18
  see
• 9:18
  them
• 9:18
  as
• 9:18
  silver
• 9:19
  platter
• 9:19
  moments
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  opportunities
• 9:21
  to
• 9:21
  love
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  serve
• 9:22
  well.
• 9:23
  We
• 9:23
  desire
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  be
• 9:24
  generous
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  give
• 9:26
  joyfully
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  sacrificially
• 9:28
  as
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  people
• 9:28
  did
• 9:28
  when
• 9:29
  they
• 9:29
  dedicated
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  your
• 9:30
  temple.
• 9:30
  And
• 9:31
  just
• 9:31
  as
• 9:31
  these
• 9:32
  parents
• 9:32
  could
• 9:32
  have
• 9:32
  initiated
• 9:33
  this
• 9:33
  fow
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  set
• 9:34
  their
• 9:34
  child
• 9:34
  apart
• 9:35
  for
• 9:35
  your
• 9:35
  glory
• 9:36
  today,
• 9:36
  we
• 9:36
  bring
• 9:36
  our
• 9:37
  children
• 9:37
  before
• 9:37
  you
• 9:38
  and
• 9:38
  ask
• 9:39
  that
• 9:39
  they
• 9:39
  would
• 9:39
  be
• 9:39
  devoted
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  your
• 9:40
  work.
• 9:41
  Lord.
• 9:41
  Whether
• 9:42
  it's
• 9:42
  in
• 9:42
  vocational
• 9:43
  ministry
• 9:44
  or
• 9:44
  just
• 9:44
  loving
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  faithfully,
• 9:46
  wherever
• 9:46
  they
• 9:46
  go,
• 9:47
  we
• 9:47
  pray
• 9:48
  that
• 9:48
  they
• 9:48
  would
• 9:48
  have
• 9:48
  pure
• 9:49
  hearted
• 9:49
  devotion
• 9:50
  to
• 9:50
  serve
• 9:50
  you.
• 9:51
  Thank
• 9:51
  you,
• 9:51
  Jesus,
• 9:52
  that
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  are
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  God
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  can
• 9:53
  make
• 9:53
  us
• 9:54
  clean
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  blameless
• 9:55
