SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
These are times in which you sometimes feel unstable. The truth is that you will find your stability in Me, says the Lord. It will not matter what goes on around you; it matters that you stay spiritually connected and stand strong in faith. Relationship with Me transcends everything earthly and creates a stability that is beyond what is natural.
Matthew 7:24-27 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock, and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.

SERIES E --- YHVH’S LAWS --- LESSON 09
THE LEVITES CONSECRATED
THE DUTIES OF THE LEVITES
From Numbers 8
Tell Aaron to place the lamps on the lampstand so that the light will shine forward when he lights them, Adonai told Moses. Aaron did as Adonai Instructed him. The lampstand was made of hammered gold, from its base to its floral decorations, exactly as Adonai had directed Moses to make it. Separate the Levites from the other people of Israel, Adonai Commanded Moses. Sprinkle the purifying water over them and have them shave their entire bodies with razors. Have them wash themselves and their clothes so they will be completely clean. Tell the Levites to bring a young bull and a grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, as well as another young bull for a sin offering. When you bring the Levites to the doorway to the tabernacle where all the people can see them, have the leaders of the tribes place their hands upon them. Aaron shall present the Levites before Adonai as a wave offering, a gift from the people of Israel. They will serve Adonai on behalf of all the people. Then the leaders of the Levites shall place their hands on the heads of the bulls and offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to Adonai to make atonement for all the Levites. After that the Levites shall be brought to Aaron and his sons and offered as a wave offering to Adonai. In this ceremony you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the people and they shall be Mine. After you have cleansed them and offered them as a wave offering, they will serve in the tabernacle. They will be Mine instead of the firstborn, for I have claimed the Levites in their place. The firstborn of the people of Israel are Mine, both men and animals, for I consecrated them and set them apart for My service on the day I destroyed the firstborn in the land of Egypt. However, I have taken the Levites as a substitute for the firstborn among the people of Israel. I have presented the Levites to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to serve the people in the tabernacle and to make atonement for them. Thus there will be no plague among the people of Israel, which might occur should some of them come too close to the tabernacle. Moses, Aaron, and all of the people did exactly what Adonai commanded them to do. After the Levites purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes, Aaron presented them to Adonai as a wave offering. Then he made atonement for them to cleanse them. When the entire ceremony was over, the Levites went into the tabernacle to assist Aaron and his sons, as Adonai Commanded Moses. Everything was done exactly as Adonai Commanded. The Levites shall serve in the tabernacle from the ages twenty-five to fifty, Adonai said. At that time, they will retire from active service and will help their fellow Levites in the tabernacle work, but without full-time assignments.
COMMENTARY
MILESTONES OF LIFE
The Israelites marked the milestones of life differently from people of today. A newborn infant, after being washed in warm water, was rubbed with salt to toughen it and protect it from disease. It was then wrapped from head to foot in strips of cloth. Family and friends rejoiced if the baby was a boy, but the father was silent and the mother ashamed if it was a girl. After eight days, boys were circumcised. All babies were nursed at the breast for three years. When that ended, childhood almost came to an end. Girls were taught household duties and took care of the younger children. They were given almost no education. By the age of twelve, they were ready for marriage and motherhood. Boys were given a strict religious education starting at age three. By ten years old, they began to learn their father’s trade. At thirteen, a wife was selected and marriage was the next step. The wedding celebration took a week, after which the newlyweds started life as fully-grown adults. Children came soon. They were required to care for their parents in old age. Children continued the race and were their parents’ living memorial.
This is something I have been thinking about recently. Why in the world would God choose a student of Gamaliel, who was one of the top Jewish teachers of the time, to go to the Gentiles? If God intended that the Law was not to be done by the Gentiles (in any form you believe: "done away with", "just for the Jews", "fulfilled at the cross", "Jesus did it for us", "no one can do it", etc...), then why send someone so versed in the Law to the Gentiles? This makes no sense whatsoever.
Then on top of that, he leaves for 3 years before starting his ministry to the Gentiles. Again, why? If all he had to do was not teach everything he had previously learned about, that seems like a very easy task to do. It wouldn't be something he would have to run off for 3 years for before starting.
However, if we read Paul and this account in context with the rest of the Bible, and even just the rest of Acts, we see that Paul WAS using his skills and learning to teach the Gentiles. He WAS teaching them the Torah. He WAS showing them God's commands, but teaching against the traditions of the elders. Those 3 years spent away before starting were most likely to restudy the Torah, Prophets, and Writings without the teachings that had been passed down to him. Those traditions of men. If you aren't aware, those traditions are taught as they are straight from God's mouth. Mark 7 references some of these. If you had been trained all your life that God said "wash your hands before eating or you sin", and God sent you on a quest to teach others His Ways, wouldn't you want to make sure that God actually said that?
Maybe we should all do like Paul and take a step back from what we have been taught and look at the Bible in the context of the Bible without those traditions passed down to us.
