Numbers 1:1-3
Now, let us go to Numbers 1. [The book of] Numbers is called "Numbers" because the word "number" comes up quite frequently. God is telling Moses, right here in the first chapter, to number Israel. The words "number," and "count," and "measure" and those sorts of things occur frequently in the book of Numbers.
I just wanted to pull one thing from there. I was most interested in the first part of verse 3, "From twenty years old and above." File that. The average Israelite was considered an adult at 20 years. Some of you people who are rather particular will say, "Ah, but the Levites were counted differently. "Well, we are just talking about "the average Joe" in Israel, at this point. We are talking averages here—normal. What is the norm?
Numbers 1:1-3
What I would like to take from this is that they started counting people when they were twenty.
