Numbers 1-4 can seem like boring chapters. There are separate lists of the 12 tribes for finding assitants for the census, registering the men who are able to go to war, and ordering the camps around the tabernacle. Then there are two chapters on the work and service of the Levites and how they camp around the tabernacle. But, when you dig deeper, this is a picture of Jesus, the spiritual believer, and the carnal believer.
