Daily Bible - Redeeming What's Already His

Today's reading is found in Leviticus 27:1 to 27:34 and Numbers 1:1-54.

This passage serves to tell us about the numbers that we're dealing with when we read about the Israelites. The men who were over the age of twenty and able to serve in the army were over 600 thousand! This doesn't include women, children, the disabled, the elderly, or anyone from the tribe of Levi.

All of these people and all of their animals and surroundings belonged to God, and He only asked for a small amount of that to be given to Him or redeemed in some way. This reading also gives instruction on just how that is to be done.
