Praise the Lord! Nate is feeling better and is back at school today. He is an encouragement to me as I teach Bible classes. Today I was Moses, and I assigned each of my students to be a tribe of Israel. I taught them how to encamp around the Tabernacle and also how to march in order as in Numbers. We wandered all over campus and acted out the book of Numbers.
The students became the people of God wandering in the desert for 40 years. They complained, they died, they spied out the promised land and I struck the rock with my staff. I honored Caleb and Joshua and Phineas for honoring the Lord and fearing Him. It was great to hear students after class saying, "That was fun!" I hope they will remember the book of Numbers!

Have you ever calculated the size of each tribe and placed them proportionally to the east, south, north and west of the tabernacle? You come up with an interesting and significant shape.

How did you do it? I'd love a copy of your map! What a great idea! Thanks, Aunt Martha
