03.05.2015 Old Testament: Num 35.6–8

To read the Bible in a year, read Numbers 34–36 on March 5, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

The children of Levi would not inherit sections of property in the Land of Canaan like the rest of the tribes, but the Levites would get cities,

“Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities. So all the cities you will give to the Levites shall be forty-eight; these you shall give with their common-land. And the cities which you will give shall be from the possession of the children of Israel; from the larger tribe you shall give many, from the smaller you shall give few. Each shall give some of its cities to the Levites, in proportion to the inheritance that each receives” (Numbers 35.6–8). 

Christians are like Levites. We do not have a large place on the Earth that the Lord has designated the land of the Christians, but we do have places where we live. Our inheritance is the Lord and we shall inherit with Him in heaven!
