DAY 40 Read Numbers 1 and 2
Today's reading: A census was taken at Sinai and the encampment was organized with precise detail.
Memory gem: "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40).
Thought for today:
"The Hebrew camp was arranged in exact order. It was separated into three great divisions, each having its appointed position in the encampment. In the center was the tabernacle, the abiding place of the invisible King. Around it were stationed the priests and Levites. Beyond these were encamped all the other tribes...
"The position of each tribe was specified. Each was to march and to encamp beside its own standard.....
"Scrupulous cleanliness as was as strict order throughout the encampment and its environs was enjoined. Thorough sanitary regulations were enforced. Every person who was unclean from any cause was forbidden to enter the camp. These measures were indispensable to the preservation of health among so vast a multitude; and it was necessary also that perfect order and purity be maintained, that Israel might enjoy the presence of a holy God. Thus He declared: 'The Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy.' "--Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 374, 375.
