Leviticus 26:27 - Numbers 8:14
No deep thoughts today. Just a few observations.Numbers Chapter 2 describes in detail the layout of the Camp of Israel around the Tabernacle. As we have mentioned before, there are many parts of the OT that are types or foreshadows of Jesus and the Cross. The picture is the "numerical" layout of the camp. You will notice that a Cross is formed with the foot facing the rising of the sun.
Here is an external link to a PDF file that has more detail concerning the Camp of Israel, its layout, and the Tabernacle. It is an excellent summary.

The second is the priestly blessing in Numbers 6:24-26.
"The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace."
We like the Israelites continue to go astray and fail to listent to God's voice. But, the Lord has been gracious to His creation by providing a substitute and a deliverer for our disobedience. And those that accept Him will be give peace.
