God’s Word for You – Numbers 7:1-9 Covered wagons
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 7:1-9 Chapter seven describes what most of us would think of as the “Opening Service” of the tabernacle. It includes a long scene (verses 7-83) that is perhaps about as interesting to us as watching all the grown-ups going to communion is to a ten-year-old; for a little while we’re […]

God’s Word for You – Numbers 6:26a God’s favor
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:26a 26 The LORD look on you with favor… This phrase makes a reference to the Lord’s face just as the earlier one, “The Lord make his face shine on you” did. Here, despite our English phrase, the Hebrew says: “The LORD lift up his face to you.” Many older […]
God’s Word for You – Numbers 6:25b Grace
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:25b … and be gracious to you. We need to look at grace from two angles. The first is to see grace as it comes from God. Grace is a unique kind of love that God has. No one else truly has this kind of love. It is love we […]
God’s Word for You – Numbers 6:25a His face shines on you
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:25a 25 The LORD make his face shine on you… The phrase “make his face shine” compares God and his unseen but obvious blessings to the sun shining; the glory of daylight chasing away the shadows, fears, and uncertainties of night. “Until the day breaks and the shadows flee” is […]
God’s Word for You – Numbers 6:24b The LORD keep you…
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:24b …and keep you. Remember that this blessing has three parts, and each part is divided into two halves. Here, the first general blessing was blessing itself, “The LORD bless you,” but in the second half applies this in a special way to mankind with the word “keep” (Hebrew shamar). […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:22-24 The Benediction 22 The LORD told Moses 23 to speak to Aaron and to his sons and to tell them to bless the Israelites with these words: 24 The LORD bless you… We call this the Aaronic Blessing today, since it was given to Aaron. There are some things […]
