Alright, well we are in the book of Numbers today starting a whole brand new book. And I'm going to do the introduction to it this morning. And then dad's gonna get us going in chapter two. Let's start with a word of prayer. Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus name. And we thank you so much Lord God for your holy word, father and for preserving it for us, Lord and for keeping it for us father so that we can have it in our hands, Lord, to this very day, from the long days past, Lord and to receive That same word, Father from you that you gave to Moses Lord. on Mount Sinai Father, we can read those words and Lord, all the truth and the depth and the meaning that it still has for our lives today, father and how we can see ourselves. Lord represented in the children of Israel in so many different ways. Father, we pray that you would help us to take our lessons, Lord, from their mistakes, and also learn from the things that they did, right, Lord, and then also to take joy, Father, from all of the ways that Jesus Christ is represented. Lord, and the way that you work with Israel and days in days past father, and that everything that you were doing father was pointing to that day, when a son would be born, child will be born a son would be given, Lord and then and then and then we can still look for future tense Lord to the day when the government will be on his shoulders. We're all excited about that, Lord, and we ask and pray. Father, as we study your word this morning that you would write these true is that we're going to learn about today, Lord on the tablets of our hearts and we would take encouragement from it files and then she would just build up our faith, Lord and then our understanding of your word through the study of this book. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Amen.

So the book of Numbers, begins chapter one and verse one. Right off the bat, the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of meeting on the first day of the second month, in the second year, after they had come out of the land of Egypt. So now we move from the account that we have in Leviticus, where the Lord was speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, giving him all of the laws and the regulations that pertain to the ruling of the nation itself, how they were to be governed and how they were to live their lives day to day the way that they were to conduct themselves, and then also the way that they were to worship Him. The prescribed methods to prescribe ways that prescribe sacrifices that God was very detailed about in the way in which they must worship Him in the tabernacle, and future tense in the temple it was going to be, but for now, God is explaining to Moses to the people through Moses, this is how I want to be worship. This is how I must be worship. This is what I require of your hand, and this is what I require of your lives. If you're going to be my children, and I'm going to be your God, these are the things that I'm putting in place for you to live your lives by. And it was very important it was to it was supposed to consume every aspect of their lives. He talks about talk with your children about it as you sit at the table as you rise and when you go to sleep at night, when you walk along the way. Talk about these things have these things on your mouth, you know, be thinking about these things be contemplating about these things.
