Numbers 3:14,15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It is worthy the Reader's closest attention here, that while Israel at large, were only numbered from the age of 20, and upward; the children of the Levites were commanded to be numbered from a month old. Yes! our dearest Redeemer hath told us, that in his record little infants as well as elder years are enumerated; for of such is the kingdom of GOD. Mark 10:14. And what a sweet scripture that is, which from the lips of the same precious Saviour, enjoins the greatest caution of despising one of his little ones, for in heaven their angels do always behold the face of their FATHER which is in heaven. Matthew 18:10.

Numbers 3:14-15

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
