xRead: Numbers 1-2
Numbers is a book of numbers and names but if you realize these men were “expressed by their names” then you know that the meaning of their names expressed who they were. So let’s look at the meaning of their names in order:
1. My God is a rock. 2. At peace with God 3. A diviner. 4. Given of God. 5. My God is Father. 6. My God is a hearer. 7. My recompensed is God. 8. Father of the judge. 9. Brother of Magesty. 10. Event of God. 11. God is adder. 12. Brother of evil.
Looking at these names I bet they correlate with the twelve disciples, the last one standing for Judas Iscarot.
The tribes marched and set camp in the sign of the cross with the Levites and the Tabernacle in the middle. Judah went first because his name means to praise and Dan went last because God’s last resort is Judgement and his name means “to Judge.” God doesn’t do anything randomly and it all has meaning and is teachable. It is up to us to dig in and find the meaning.
Lord, teach us the mysteries of Your Word.
