Numbers 18 · Grade 4

When God Is Your Portion

Name Date

Read and Think

Numbers 18 answers the terrified cry at the end of chapter 17. The people feared they would all perish near God's holy dwelling. God's answer was order and protection. Aaron and his sons would bear responsibility for the sanctuary and the priesthood, and the Levites would help them, so that wrath would not fall on Israel.

God called the priesthood a gift. He gave the priests portions from the offerings, the firstfruits, and the firstborn. He called these an everlasting covenant of salt, meaning a lasting agreement. Firstborn sons were redeemed for five shekels.

Most importantly, God told Aaron that he would have no land. God said, I am your portion and your inheritance. The Levites received the tithes of Israel, and they gave a tithe of the best back to God. Everyone, even those who served, gave to God.
