Alright, well, we are in the book of Numbers, still. We're going to be in the book of Numbers for a while. We're going to see what truth God can show us from his word is always something. It's all good. I love it. And numbers. Chapter Seven, however, is very, very long. And we will be skipping a lot of verses. And I'll tell you the reason for that. I'm not being sacrilegious. So those of you who are purists, and maybe just a little bit what's the word I'm looking for when you're afraid of blackcats and broken mirrors superstitious? I mean, sometimes he gets superstitious, a little bit we can, I do just a little bit. Like certain things. You can't combine certain things with reading the Word. You know what I'm saying? Like if I'm on in the bathroom, and then the word of the verse of the day pops up on my phone, I don't read it. You know what I'm saying? There's no time to read the Word of God. Right. You got to wait and read it in an appropriate fashion when you're drinking coffee. Hey, you know, I mean, because you know, I don't want to be burned up or something like that. That's not how it works. That's how it works. I can't help myself anyway, we are going to skip some verses, but I'll tell you the reason why. Because they're repeats. We are in Numbers chapter seven. And this is the beginning of the tabernacle worship. This is the beginning of the institution of all the things that God has told Moses on Mount Sinai, and now they're ready to be put into practice. In chapter seven, verse one, it came to pass, when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and concentrated it, and all its furnishings, and the altar and all this utensils, so he anointed them and consecrated them. Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their father's house houses us, me, who are the leaders of the tribes and over those who were numbered, may And offering. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for your word and we ask and pray, Lord God that you would speak to our hearts from it this morning, Lord, that it would never be of one man's interpretation, Lord, just as the Word says of itself, but your Holy Spirit, Lord, we present in this place today, Lord, to speak something specific and special individually into each person's heart here this morning, Lord, something that they need to hear from you. Father, we ask and pray that you would do this in Jesus name, amen. So here we have Moses, they set up the tabernacle, he's now anointing it and consecrating it and it's ready to be put into service. But first we have these offerings that are going to be brought by the leaders of Israel and verse to the leaders of Israel, the heads of their father's houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over those who were numbered, made an offering. And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered carts and 12 oxen, a cart for every two of the leaders. And for each one, an ox, and they presented them before the tabernacle. So for the 12, leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel, you had one cart for every two tribes or for every two leaders. So you end up with six cards, and you have one ox per leader of each family of each tribe. So you end up with six carts and 12 oxen. Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, except these from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the tabernacle of meeting, and you shall give them to the leave it to every man according to his service. So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levi's, two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service,
