Order of the Host – The Passover

And the Lord spoke to Moses and said unto him that on the first day of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, and instructed him that he should make the children of Israel of Israel keep the Passover at the appointed time each year on the fourteens day of the month at evening.  The Passover shall be kept in its appointed time and in according to the rites and ceremonies thereof.

And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover and the children of Israel kept the Passover on the fourteenth day at evening in the wilderness of Sinai.

And at that time there were certain men who had been defiled by reason of the dead body of a men so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; so they came before Moses and Aaron and they admitted that they were defiled. And asked Moses what they should do seeing they were unable to keep the Passover.  Moses told them that he would have to consult the Lord.  Moses asked the Lord and the Lord told him that if anyone was unable to keep the Passover by reason of uncleanness or distance yet he shall keep the Passover unto the Lord subject to conditions.

Once the Levites were set before Aaron and his sons, they were separated from among the children of Israel and they were the Lord’s. And after that they were to go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; they shall thus be cleansed and an offering unto the Lord. They are completely given unto the Lord from among the children of Israel in the place of those who had opened every womb, the first-born of all the children of Israel.

“And I,” said the Lord,  “have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near the sanctuary.”

And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did unto the Levites as the Lord commanded; and the Levites were purified; they washed their clothes and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them. And after that the Levites entered into the tabernacle of the congregation according to the commandment of the Lord.

The Levites were to serve in the tabernacle from the age of twenty five to the age of fifty and after that they would cease to do so; but join the congregation to keep order but do no further service in the tabernacle.

Order of the Host – Cleansing of the Levites.

And the Lord told Moses to take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them. To do which, Moses was ordered to sprinkle water of purifying upon them and let them shave all their flesh, and wash their clothes and make themselves clean.

Then they would take a young bullock with the meal offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and another young bullock for a sin offering.

And the Levites were to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation; and in the presence of the whole assembly of the children of Israel together, And the Levites would be presented unto the Lord. Thus assembled the children of Israel would put their hands on the heads of the Levites and Aaron would offer them before the Lord as an offering of the children of Israel that they may execute the service of the Lord.

And the Levites would then lay their hands on the heads of the bullocks, one of which was then offered for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to make an atonement for the Levites. And thus shall the Levites be set before Aaron and his sons for an offering unto the Lord.

The Order of the Host – The Lamp and Lampstand

And the Lord spoke unto Moses and told him to advise Aaron that when he lights the lamps, the seven lamps would give light over against the lampstand. So Aaron lit the lamps over against the lampstand as the Lord commanded Moses.

The lampstand was made of beaten gold unto its shaft and flowers and beaten work in keeping with the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses concerning the making of the lampstand.

We note from God’s word spoken to Moses earlier that God told Moses, “Command the children of Israel that they bring unto Aaron pure olive oil beaten for the light to cause the lamps to burn continually. Outside the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation shall Aaron order it from the evening until the morning before the Lord continually.www.chaberbooks.com

The Summary of the Princes Gifts.

So that we find that at the dedication of the altar in the day when it was anointed by the princes of Israel, there were twelve platters of silver, twelve silver bowls, and twelve golden spoons,

Each platter weighed one hundred and thirty shekels of silver, and each bowl weighed seventy shekels, so that all the silver vessels weighed, two thousand four hundred shekels according to the weight of the sanctuary.

The golden spoons were twelve filled with incense, and they weighed ten shekels apiece after the shekel of the sanctuary, so that the spoons weighed one hundred and twenty shekels.

All the oxen for the offering were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meal offering and the kids of the goat for their sin offering twelve.

And all the oxen for the sacrifice of peace offerings were twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he-goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty.  These were the gifts of the princely offerings.

And after Moses entered into the tabernacle of the congregation to seek the Lord, he heard His voice speaking to him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim and He spoke with him.
