Numbers 4, The tectonic shift
Additional studies: Numbers Index
Here in Numbers, God is emphasizing His absolute separateness from man—from even the Levites, lest they die. Because of these commands in the Law, and the deaths of Nadab and Abihu for offering profane fire before Him, and other instances we will read about, His separateness was absolutely seared upon the consciousness of Israel. So you can imagine what the veil being torn by supernatural means at the death of Jesus said to Israel (Mat 27:50-51). It would be a paradigm shift of tectonic proportions!
Psalm 81, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Three (73-89) Index
To appoint is Strong’s H7760 שום shum, meaning, “to put, place, set, appoint.” The Hebrew Root Word parable: The breath (shin, as that which passes through the teeth) which hooks (vav) water (mem, in the form of vapor) with it and is expelled from the body to the outside. In just this way a man’s character is outwardly expressed from that which is laid up (i.e., put or placed) within his heart. ♥
