The Levites

Sword Drill Exodus32: 25 - 35

 

While Moses was up on top of Mount Sinai with the Lord, the people became impatient for Him to return, as He was gone for forty days. The people used this excuse to rebel against The Lord, and they had Aaron make out of their gold jewellery a “Golden Calf”, and they began to bow down to it and worshiped it. They committed adultery with each other around the golden calf too and were going wild.

God sent Moses back down the mountain to take control. (Joshua was with him)

When Moses saw what they were doing Moses threw down the “stone Tables of the law” and they broke.

He had them grind the calf into dust, poured it into their drinking water and made them drink it.

The Lord was angry with the “Children of Israel” Moses shouted throughout the camp that,

“Whoever was for the Lord was to come to him”

 

Only the Tribe of the Levites came. Moses told them to strap on their swords, and to go throughout the camp killing their brother Israelites. They obeyed and slaughtered 3000 people that day.

 

Because they performed this service to The Lord, they would enter His special service as Levites, in administration of Israel.

Israel could have been a “Kingdom of Priests to God”, if they had all been obedient to The Lord.

The Levites had very special responsibilities .The tribe of Levites were separated into families

The “Kohathites” carried the Tabernacle furniture.

The “Gershonites” looked after the Coverings.
The “Meranites” carried and erected the Tabernacle Structure

 

The Levites had no particular land assigned to them, as did the other tribes, but were given 48 cities as “Cities of Refuge”, scattered through out “The Promised Land”

The Israelites fled to these cities for refuge, justice and fairness, if they accidentally killed a person, until the case came to court. The Avenger of the one killed, came after them to kill them!
