All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them. Numbers 26:62
I. Numbered 23,000
Note, it does not say 22,999, nor does it say 23,001. That is very important. God cannot lie. Thus---an incredible miracle. 23,000 on the button. Incredible
II. They received no inheritance
Note, as the priests---they owned no land. What a model for todays preachers. No dallying in the stock market, no cattle to feed, no four-legged sheep. Just the two-legged sheep of Israel. God was their source of income, giving instruction to the Israelites on how they were to provide for them.
This inspiring devotional is brought to you to bring you a vast amount encouragement from one of the little known and used texts of the Bible.
