Today, as I read, I see a parallel between the death angel's claiming all of Egypt's firstborn beings on the occasion instituting Passover (Exodus 12:29-30) and the Lord's claiming the Levites in place of all of Israel's firstborn beings (Numbers 8:17-18). God makes claims on earth's peoples.
And how interesting: "So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place of rest. (Numbers 10:33) The ark is a guide, a compass, and a "resting-place finder."
O that Your guidance, Your direction-finding, and Your rest-giving will be made as clearly to all of humanity!
