April 6, 2011 – Numbers 3:26 - 3:51

Redemption money just sounds so wrong.  You hear a lot about Catholics and indulgences and buying your way into Heaven, even though this is not Church teaching and has never been.  But Redemption money is Biblical, at least that is what it is called here.  Israel had to fund the Gathering area and the all the procedures and because all their first born were more than the Levites, they had to pay money to make up the difference. 

The other thing I thought about is the fact that entire families were in charge of one single area or object in the Gathering area.  That feels like a lot of pressure.  You don’t want to be the one that screws that up.  The family reunion would be pretty awkward after you dropped the ball on taking care of the frames of the Tabernacle.
