The Lord then gave instructions on how the Israelites are to be organized when they make camp. God then takes a census of the Levites and accepts the service of the Levites in substitution for the first born of all Israel.
It’s not very spiritual but my first thought when I read about the organization of the Israelite camp was, “God is Feng Shui-ing the camp?!” I don’t know where to go with that; I just thought I’d share.
This passage is another example of substitutionary redemption. God accepts one person (or even objects of value) in place of another person that rightfully belongs to God. This is example points to the eventual substitution that Christ’s death would serve for our sins. We deserved to be eternally seperated from God because of our sins, but God can forgive our sins because of the redeeming death of Christ. The culmination of both the Old and New Testament is Jesus.
