The Levites are set apart...they are purified so they can do their work at the Tabernacle...Interesting that the Levites retired at the age of 50...at least it was the heavy lifting part..they could then counsel the younger priests...so there is your training and education for the younger generation.
The second Passover is celebrated...it had been a year since they celebrated the first one and were delivered from Egypt...we have some men who came to Moses because they were ceremoniously unclean because they had been in the house of a dead body....they wanted to present offerings to the Lord because if they were ceremoniously clean and did not celebrate it, they would have been cut off from their people....Moses went to the Lord and asked what to do; the Lord did not adjust the Passover, but he did allow the ceremoniously unclean people to celebrate Passover later.
Can you imagine being led by a cloud of fire? When the cloud moved, the people went and followed it...Talk about following the Lord's direction! No excuses, huh? The first approach to the Promised Land is coming (note I say the FIRST approach)...the people leave Sinai where they had been camped for quite some time. Moses invites his father-in-law to travel with them...he is a Midianite
the father of Zippoah. He is not an Isrealite, History tells us that Zipporah is a black woman...remember that the Isrealites are mid-Eastern people, probably with dark skin themselves.....I'm afraid Jesus didn't look like some of our Sunday School dipictions of an Americanized Jesus....
Look what comes up from the depths of the sea.
