There isn't a whole lot of content in Numbers 1, but there is a definite shift in "tone." As I mentioned in my last post, Leviticus seems to be a great big "pep-talk" in which God is instructing His people on how to live and how to worship Him before allowing them to take Canaan from the Pagans. Then, in the first chapter of Numbers, suddenly the troops are being assembled! It is clear what is coming, and that is war. The people have the Law, they have a new covenant, and now the only thing left to do is march toward the Promised Land and claim what God has given them. It begins.
