Okay, as the title suggests....here we go into a difficult book to read. HOWEVER, as you skim/skip the names of sons of sons of sons, etc, please take the time to 'listen' to the verses in between. There is a lot going on here. We are reminded once more of the deaths of two of Aaron's sons, who presented 'unauthorized fire' to God. We see that only MEN, and only those over 20, were counted in the census, and that the tribe of Levites were not included in that census. And note that it indicated that men over 20 could/should be in the Army. This is a good practice....I think all physically fit American 'boys', (and in our case, age 18--which is HS grad age) be 'enlisted' into the Army or go to college and then go into the Army (when I say Army, I really mean, military service, ANY military service, to include the Coast Guard). Like the Israelites, Americans have a way of life to protect. They did so by having available 603,550 men over the age of 20. Americans have a larger force, but it is made up of men AND women. ANy good way of life kneeds to be protected. Any person should be willing to fight for their country, if the country's morals are correct. In fact, we should VOLUNTEER for military service and be eager to serve in combat if that is what it takes to protect our way of life. We should not expect 'others' to protect our families, but rather, we should go to war if necessary and protect them, and their way of life, the best we can. I like the military way that chapter organizes the different tribes. They are not 12 individual tribes living by themselves, but rather 12 tribes living 'together' amongst themselves, but separated, relying on each others; tribes for composite protection.
Well, hope all have a great day....supposed to rain and be cold here today.

Mac, I agree in a way that all men should be enlisted in to the military but not for the full four years, that should be by choice or job/rating selection. The military is a new way of thinking and it would be good for all to learn how to think in a way that provides direction.
Anyway, did you know that the Coast Guard is not military, It is para-military and is run by the Department of Transportation. Im sure you knew that Mac but i thought i would let everyone else know that tid-bit of information.

Very simple in words but in reality, many discrepancies, not so peachy!
