00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:45.180
on<00:01:42.459><c> the</c><00:01:42.760><c> king</c><00:01:43.140><c> that</c><00:01:43.620><c> was</c><00:01:43.900><c> contemporary</c><00:01:44.420><c> at</c><00:01:44.620><c> the</c><00:01:44.819><c> time,</c>

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.599
and<00:01:45.939><c> noticing</c><00:01:46.340><c> that</c><00:01:46.700><c> so</c><00:01:47.079><c> often</c><00:01:47.359><c> in</c><00:01:47.560><c> the</c><00:01:47.739><c> King's</c><00:01:48.120><c> and</c><00:01:48.219><c> Chronicles</c>

00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.459

00:01:51.459 --> 00:01:53.939
is<00:01:51.659><c> sometimes</c><00:01:52.140><c> even</c><00:01:52.640><c> secondary</c><00:01:53.120><c> to</c><00:01:53.359><c> the</c><00:01:53.599><c> role</c>

00:01:57.939 --> 00:02:00.459

Well,<00:42:21.539><c> let's</c><00:42:21.699><c> go</c><00:42:21.880><c> to</c><00:42:22.000><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:42:22.480><c> 10</c><00:42:22.900><c> and</c><00:42:23.099><c> verse</c><00:42:23.360><c> eight.</c>

00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:28.860
At<00:42:26.119><c> that</c><00:42:26.559><c> time,</c><00:42:27.099><c> and</c><00:42:27.239><c> this</c><00:42:27.420><c> is</c><00:42:27.579><c> a</c><00:42:27.739><c> reflection,</c>

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.239
Deuteronomy,<00:42:29.900><c> in</c><00:42:30.079><c> the</c><00:42:30.260><c> beginning</c><00:42:30.480><c> of</c><00:42:30.679><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:35.320
up<00:42:31.480><c> to</c><00:42:31.639><c> chapter</c><00:42:32.039><c> 12,</c><00:42:33.179><c> constantly</c><00:42:33.780><c> reflects</c><00:42:34.440><c> on</c><00:42:34.639><c> the</c><00:42:34.880><c> past</c>

00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:37.019
and<00:42:35.800><c> brings</c><00:42:36.079><c> it</c><00:42:36.260><c> up</c><00:42:36.420><c> to</c><00:42:36.539><c> the</c><00:42:36.780><c> present.</c>

00:42:37.019 --> 00:42:40.199
You<00:42:37.699><c> remember,</c><00:42:38.099><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:42:38.500><c> is</c><00:42:38.659><c> written</c><00:42:38.820><c> in</c><00:42:39.000><c> the</c><00:42:39.159><c> 40th</c><00:42:39.619><c> year,</c>

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:43.860
within<00:42:40.860><c> a</c><00:42:41.079><c> matter</c><00:42:41.320><c> of</c><00:42:41.679><c> weeks</c><00:42:41.960><c> of</c><00:42:42.159><c> Moses</c><00:42:42.599><c> departing</c><00:42:43.159><c> from</c><00:42:43.340><c> the</c><00:42:43.599><c> camp,</c>

00:42:44.300 --> 00:42:46.659
and<00:42:44.579><c> the</c><00:42:44.739><c> new</c><00:42:44.960><c> generation's</c><00:42:45.719><c> about</c><00:42:45.920><c> to</c><00:42:46.059><c> go</c><00:42:46.300><c> across</c>

00:42:46.659 --> 00:42:48.760
under<00:42:47.059><c> Joshua's</c><00:42:47.820><c> leadership.</c>

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:50.480
So<00:42:49.300><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:42:49.820><c> is</c><00:42:50.019><c> a</c><00:42:50.159><c> review.</c>

00:42:50.780 --> 00:42:54.940
At<00:42:50.780><c> that</c><00:42:51.159><c> time,</c><00:42:52.239><c> the</c><00:42:52.380><c> Lord</c><00:42:52.639><c> separated</c><00:42:53.239><c> the</c><00:42:53.599><c> tribe</c><00:42:53.780><c> of</c><00:42:54.079><c> Levi</c>

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:57.860
to<00:42:55.179><c> bear</c><00:42:55.420><c> the</c><00:42:55.780><c> ark</c><00:42:55.960><c> of</c><00:42:56.159><c> the</c><00:42:56.360><c> covenant</c><00:42:56.639><c> of</c><00:42:56.880><c> the</c><00:42:57.039><c> Lord,</c>

00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:02.579
to<00:42:58.599><c> stand</c><00:42:59.019><c> before</c><00:42:59.440><c> the</c><00:42:59.719><c> Lord,</c><00:43:01.239><c> to</c><00:43:01.599><c> minister</c><00:43:01.980><c> unto</c><00:43:02.280><c> him,</c>

00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:04.920
and<00:43:02.860><c> to</c><00:43:03.099><c> bless</c><00:43:03.300><c> in</c><00:43:03.420><c> his</c><00:43:03.679><c> name</c><00:43:03.980><c> unto</c><00:43:04.239><c> this</c><00:43:04.639><c> day.</c>

00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:07.179
Now,<00:43:05.639><c> when</c><00:43:05.800><c> we're</c><00:43:05.980><c> doing</c><00:43:06.159><c> our</c><00:43:06.440><c> Bible</c><00:43:06.780><c> readings,</c>

00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.239
it's<00:43:07.739><c> really</c><00:43:08.000><c> easy</c><00:43:08.300><c> just</c><00:43:08.500><c> to</c><00:43:08.719><c> gloss</c><00:43:09.000><c> over</c><00:43:09.300><c> a</c><00:43:09.519><c> simple</c><00:43:09.840><c> statement</c>

00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:13.579
like<00:43:10.579><c> that,</c><00:43:11.400><c> but</c><00:43:11.800><c> that's</c><00:43:12.099><c> rather</c><00:43:12.300><c> important.</c>

00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.940
The<00:43:14.119><c> Lord</c><00:43:14.639><c> separated</c><00:43:15.360><c> the</c><00:43:15.639><c> tribe</c><00:43:15.860><c> of</c><00:43:16.159><c> Levi,</c>

00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:21.119
hasn't<00:43:17.440><c> yet</c><00:43:17.679><c> told</c><00:43:17.880><c> us</c><00:43:18.099><c> why,</c><00:43:19.300><c> but</c><00:43:19.539><c> notice</c><00:43:19.920><c> the</c><00:43:20.260><c> calling.</c>

00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.000
The<00:43:21.579><c> tribe</c><00:43:21.840><c> of</c><00:43:22.179><c> Levi</c><00:43:22.519><c> has</c><00:43:22.960><c> been</c><00:43:23.400><c> separated</c>

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:27.320
for<00:43:24.219><c> the</c><00:43:24.420><c> purpose</c><00:43:24.739><c> of</c><00:43:25.219><c> standing</c><00:43:25.619><c> before</c><00:43:26.139><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:43:27.380 --> 00:43:28.599
standing<00:43:27.760><c> before</c><00:43:28.119><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.119
That's<00:43:29.340><c> a</c><00:43:29.500><c> priestly</c><00:43:29.800><c> phrase,</c><00:43:30.440><c> by</c><00:43:30.659><c> the</c><00:43:30.780><c> way.</c>

00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:33.519
If<00:43:31.679><c> you</c><00:43:31.920><c> notice</c><00:43:32.219><c> that</c><00:43:32.559><c> phrase</c><00:43:32.960><c> elsewhere</c>

00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:37.239
in<00:43:33.760><c> doing</c><00:43:33.940><c> your</c><00:43:34.500><c> Bible</c><00:43:34.800><c> readings,</c><00:43:35.699><c> stand</c><00:43:35.900><c> before</c><00:43:36.340><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.460
you<00:43:37.679><c> will</c><00:43:37.960><c> observe</c><00:43:38.280><c> it's</c><00:43:38.719><c> often</c><00:43:39.079><c> in</c><00:43:39.380><c> a</c><00:43:39.639><c> priestly</c><00:43:40.000><c> sense.</c>

00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:42.960
So<00:43:40.920><c> that's</c><00:43:41.199><c> a</c><00:43:41.340><c> phrase</c><00:43:41.500><c> worth</c><00:43:41.739><c> hanging</c><00:43:42.019><c> onto.</c>

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:44.760
Levi<00:43:43.380><c> was</c><00:43:43.699><c> separated,</c><00:43:44.360><c> therefore,</c>

00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:48.059
for<00:43:44.960><c> the</c><00:43:45.179><c> purpose</c><00:43:45.440><c> of</c><00:43:45.820><c> standing</c><00:43:46.039><c> before</c><00:43:46.500><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:43:48.139 --> 00:43:50.039
Secondly,<00:43:48.699><c> to</c><00:43:48.940><c> minister</c><00:43:49.340><c> unto</c><00:43:49.639><c> him.</c>

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.860
Thirdly,<00:43:51.019><c> to</c><00:43:51.300><c> bless</c><00:43:51.579><c> in</c><00:43:51.699><c> his</c><00:43:52.000><c> name.</c>

00:43:53.059 --> 00:43:54.960
You<00:43:53.219><c> see</c><00:43:53.300><c> those</c><00:43:53.559><c> three</c><00:43:53.800><c> components.</c>

00:43:56.019 --> 00:44:00.119
Levi<00:43:56.619><c> is</c><00:43:57.219><c> called</c><00:43:57.519><c> upon</c><00:43:57.880><c> to</c><00:43:58.280><c> stand</c><00:43:58.579><c> before</c><00:43:59.000><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.340
to<00:44:00.559><c> minister</c><00:44:00.980><c> to</c><00:44:01.260><c> him</c><00:44:01.400><c> and</c><00:44:01.559><c> to</c><00:44:01.820><c> bless</c><00:44:02.019><c> in</c><00:44:02.199><c> his</c><00:44:02.420><c> name.</c>

00:44:03.389 --> 00:44:07.380
So,<00:44:03.800><c> in</c><00:44:04.039><c> essence,</c><00:44:04.699><c> this</c><00:44:04.840><c> little</c><00:44:05.119><c> passage</c><00:44:05.579><c> tells</c><00:44:05.960><c> us</c><00:44:06.199><c> this</c><00:44:06.460><c> much.</c>

00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:10.480
Levi<00:44:08.119><c> is</c><00:44:08.800><c> separated</c><00:44:09.380><c> for</c><00:44:09.840><c> service,</c>

00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:14.300
and<00:44:11.099><c> part</c><00:44:11.320><c> of</c><00:44:11.500><c> that</c><00:44:11.739><c> service</c><00:44:12.199><c> involves</c><00:44:12.820><c> praising</c><00:44:13.340><c> God.</c>

00:44:14.699 --> 00:44:17.019
Now,<00:44:14.940><c> if</c><00:44:15.059><c> this</c><00:44:15.199><c> is</c><00:44:15.460><c> applicable</c><00:44:15.820><c> to</c><00:44:16.099><c> all</c><00:44:16.320><c> of</c><00:44:16.440><c> the</c><00:44:16.599><c> nation,</c>

00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:19.239
to<00:44:17.539><c> both</c><00:44:17.780><c> male</c><00:44:18.039><c> and</c><00:44:18.260><c> female,</c>

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.139
think<00:44:19.500><c> of</c><00:44:19.619><c> the</c><00:44:19.780><c> implications</c><00:44:20.280><c> of</c><00:44:20.519><c> that</c><00:44:20.920><c> for</c><00:44:21.219><c> ourselves.</c>

00:44:22.900 --> 00:44:26.039
Now,<00:44:23.099><c> would</c><00:44:23.239><c> you</c><00:44:23.420><c> turn</c><00:44:23.599><c> your</c><00:44:23.800><c> Bibles</c><00:44:24.219><c> to</c><00:44:24.440><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:44:24.920><c> 17?</c>

00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:31.699
The<00:44:27.900><c> passages</c><00:44:28.219><c> accumulate</c><00:44:29.000><c> in</c><00:44:29.599><c> steps</c><00:44:29.980><c> a</c><00:44:30.260><c> little</c><00:44:30.420><c> more</c><00:44:30.760><c> detailed.</c>

00:44:38.619 --> 00:44:42.280
Deuteronomy<00:44:39.219><c> 17,</c><00:44:41.039><c> this</c><00:44:41.159><c> is</c><00:44:41.260><c> a</c><00:44:41.360><c> helpful</c><00:44:41.599><c> little</c><00:44:41.900><c> passage</c>

00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:44.300
in<00:44:42.460><c> dealing</c><00:44:42.679><c> with</c><00:44:42.940><c> priesthood.</c>

00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:51.619

00:44:51.619 --> 00:44:53.880

even<00:45:01.460><c> that</c><00:45:01.719><c> man</c><00:45:02.000><c> shall</c><00:45:02.260><c> die</c><00:45:02.820><c> before</c><00:45:02.820><c> the</c><00:45:02.820><c> Lord</c><00:45:02.820><c> God.</c>

00:45:02.820 --> 00:45:06.000
And<00:45:03.300><c> thou</c><00:45:03.500><c> shalt</c><00:45:03.760><c> put</c><00:45:03.980><c> away</c><00:45:04.239><c> the</c><00:45:04.480><c> evil</c><00:45:04.739><c> from</c><00:45:04.960><c> Israel.</c>

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.300
