A #chiasm in #numbers 4-7 is centered on the grain offering in the trial of the woman suspected of adultery. It highlights a set-apart people, a jealous God, and a merciful judge. God truly is merciful and eager to forgive, but that doesn't mean we don't still need to work toward greater obedience. God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He still expects us to try. Efforts at holiness mitigate failures.
