Hi Monica. Here's a Little commentary on Abraham you will find in the New testament to parallel with Genesis ch 11:26 through Genesis Ch 25.
Acts 7:2-10. And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Abraham is a great study, And always ask questions and seek answers. Thank you.
People use bad words for many reasons. Their friends curse, movies and TV shows are littered with foul language, and they think it's cool to do it themselves. Their parents do it, and they think it's ok. Even some Christians have potty mouthes which cause others to think, "Well if she/he curses, it's okay for me to do it too." But using bad words is most def a sin.
Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Hi monica ,the very best way to answer all your questions about Abraham and his family and their lives is for you to read Genesis ,if you read it for yourself you will be able to keep all the information in context and really enjoy his story ,may God bless your efforts .
God loved us enough to give us freewill. Freedom to choose good or evil. Freedom to follow God or follow satan. It's one or the other. Because there's freewill, many do choose evil, and many do choose to kill. It's pure evil, but the people doing the evil always feel like they are doing good at the time. They don't realize they've been deceived by one of satan's many lies. Often words are the means to deceive. Murder = Choice. But the trick is that it's actually not a choice at all for the child- it robs the child of all choices and of life.
This in part explains all the horrors of evil we see in the world every day. God will hold everyone accountable in the end, no one gets away with anything and God loved us enough to even die for us and offered to forgive us of our sin if we simply confess, believe, and follow Him. God bless...
Hi Monica, people have committed murder throughout all of history, because God gave people freewill to choose good or evil and many are deceived into doing evil. At the time they always think their evil is justified, but that is one of the tricks of satan.

8:15 Go in - Into the court, where they were to wait upon the priests at the altar of burnt - offering; and, at present, into the tabernacle, to take it down and set it up.

In reading the Old Testament it strikes me that one must remember during his lifetime Jesus found himself less and less in the tabernacle. In his youth his parents searched for him and when found he reported he had been in discourse in the tabernacle. As he attained his 30 years we don't often find him in worship there. We must always remember that the Old Testament is the inspired word of God spoken at the time it was needed but to bring the emphasis on ritual into modern times, to me, does not do justice to Jesus' itinerant ministry as where we gather in his name is where our church is and the sanctification of a group of people to be separate to serve the Lord based on their birth is something Jesus rejected in action if not in word. We find true separation to serve the Lord in the person of John the Baptist and I believe in modern times certain sects of monks can be viewed as authentic in their service to the Lord. Ritual has a place in many religions but I try to remember Jesus was not a man who valued ritual as much one might think. Anyway, that is the notion that came to me in reading Numbers.
and later as it relates to verse 18-19, GOD exchanged HIS ownership-right to all the 1st born of the Nation of Israel for the Levites, whom GOD sanctified for a specific duty in the tabernacle. Later GOD would exchange the ..., ..., ...., Levites for Jesus. Salvation then, and Salvation today. WOW!
NOTE: Jehovah GOD at a specific time declared 17 above and later at a specific time GOD declared verse 18-19 above. As it relates to 17, on that date, GOD declared all 1st born of the Nation Of Israel belong to GOD,...
To A disciple: You were going good until you said... Regeneration we also shall sit on thrones judging the world . I have seen nowhere in the King James Bible that refers to anyone sitting on thrones except God Almighty And Jesus Christ will be sitting on the right hand of God.
"This chapter shows that Promised Land people must be cleansed, dedicated, and doing the work."
A disciple- I find it strange out of all the many things God will bless us with, that you single out 1 Corinthians 6:1–2. I do not think there is enough scripture to elaborate on how we would be capable of doing so. All I, myself, would want is to be a servant to the Lord.
"And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD." If any will receive it; this teaches about the Elect brought as an offering to the LORD, for all the Nations of the Saved. We who follow Jesus [now]; when the Lord shall sit upon His throne in the Regeneration; we also shall sit on thrones judging the world.

what does it mean? Levites will be offered as an offering or offer an offering for them?
