The Office of the Levites. . 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers, 3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things: 5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof. 7 And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon: 8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it: 10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar. 11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof: 12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar: 13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. 16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof. 17 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites: 19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden: 20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die. We have here a second muster of the tribe of Levi. As that tribe was taken out of all Israel to be God's peculiar, so the middle-aged men of that tribe were taken from among the rest to be actually employed in the service of the tabernacle. Now observe, I. Who were to be taken into this number. All the males from thirty years old to fifty. Of the other tribes, those that were numbered to go forth to war were from twenty years old and upward, but of the Levites only from thirty to fifty; for the service of God requires the best of our strength, and the prime of our time, which cannot be better spent than to the honour of him who is the first and best. And a man may make a good soldier much sooner than a good minister. Now, 1. They were not to be employed till they were thirty years old, because till then they were in danger of retaining something childish and youthful and had not gravity enough to do the service, and wear the honour, of a Levite. They were entered as probationers at twenty-five years old, ( Numbers 8:24 ; Numbers 8:24 ), and in David's time, when there was more work to be done, at twenty ( 1 Chronicles 23:24 , and so Ezra 3:8 ); but they must be five years learning and waiting, and so fitting themselves for service; nay, in David's time they were ten years in preparation, from twenty to thirty. John Baptist began his public ministry, and Christ his, at thirty years old. This is not in the letter of it obligatory on gospel ministers now, as if they must either not begin their work till thirty years old or must leave off at fifty; but it gives us two good rules:-- (1.) That ministers must not be novices, 1 Timothy 3:6 . It is a work that requires ripeness of judgment and great steadiness, and therefore those are very unfit for it who are but babes in knowledge and have not put away childish things. (2.) That they must learn before they teach, serve before they rule, and must first be proved, 1 Timothy 3:10 . 2. They were discharged at fifty years old from the toilsome part of the service, particularly that of carrying the tabernacle; for that is the special service to which they are here ordained, and which there was most occasion for while they were in the wilderness. When they began to enter upon old age, they were dismissed, (1.) In favour to them, that they might no be over-toiled when their strength began to decay. Twenty years' good service was thought pretty well for one man. (2.) In honour to the work, that it might not be done by those who, through the infirmities of age, were slow and heavy. The service of God should be done when we are in the most lively active frame. Those do not consider this who put off their repentance to old age, and so leave the best work to be done in the worst time. II. How their work is described. They are said to enter into the host, or warfare, to do the work in the tabernacle. The ministry is a good work ( 1 Timothy 3:1 ): ministers are not ordained to the honour only, but to the labour, not only to have the wages, but to do the work. It is also a good warfare, 1 Timothy 1:18 . Those that enter into the ministry must look upon themselves as entered into the host, and approve themselves good soldiers, 2 Timothy 2:3 . Now, as to the sons of Kohath in particular, here is, 1. Their service appointed them, in the removes of the tabernacle. Afterwards, when the tabernacle was fixed, they had other work assigned them; but this was the work of the day, which was to be done in its day. Observe, Wherever the camp of Israel went, the tabernacle of the Lord went with them, and care must be taken for the carriage of it. Note, Wherever we go, we must see to it that we take our religion along with us, and not forget that or any part of it. Now the Kohathites were to carry all the holy things of the tabernacle. They were charged with those things before ( Numbers 3:31 ; Numbers 3:31 ), but here they have more particular instructions given them. (1.) Aaron, and his sons the priests, must pack up the things which the Kohathites were to carry, as here directed, Numbers 4:5 ; Numbers 4:5 , c. God had before appointed that none should come into the most holy place, but only Aaron once a year with a cloud of incense ( Leviticus 16:2 ) and yet, the necessity of their unsettled state requiring it, that law is here dispensed with; for every time they removed Aaron and his sons went in to take down the ark, and make it up for carriage; for (as the learned bishop Patrick suggests) the shechinah, or display of the divine majesty, which was over the mercy-seat, removed for the present in the pillar of cloud, which was taken up, and then the ark was not dangerous to be approached. (2.) All the holy things must be covered, the ark and table with three coverings, all the rest with two. Even the ashes of the altar, in which the holy fire was carefully preserved and raked up, must have a purple cloth spread over them, Numbers 4:13 ; Numbers 4:13 . Even the brazen altar, though in the court of the sanctuary it stood open to the view of all, yet was covered in the carriage of it. All these coverings were designed, [1.] For safety, that these holy things might not be ruffled with the wind, sullied with the rain, nor tarnished with the sun, but that they might be preserved in their beauty; for on all the glory shall be a defence. The coverings of badgers' skins, being thick and strong, would keep out wet; and, while we are in our passage through the wilderness of this world, it concerns us to be fenced for all weathers, Isaiah 4:5 ; Isaiah 4:6 . [2.] For decency and ornament. Most of these things had a cloth of blue, or purple, or scarlet, spread outmost; and the ark was covered with a cloth wholly of blue ( Numbers 4:6 ; Numbers 4:6 ), an emblem (say some) of the azure skies, which are spread like a curtain between us and the Majesty on high, Job 26:9 . Those that are faithful to God should endeavour likewise to appear beautiful before men, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour. [3.] For concealment. It signified the darkness of that dispensation. That which is now brought to light by the gospel, and revealed to babes, was then hidden from the wise and prudent. They saw only the coverings, not the holy things themselves ( Hebrews 10:1 ); but now Christ has destroyed the face of the covering, Isaiah 25:7 . (3.) When all the holy things were covered, then the Kohathites were to carry them on their shoulders. These things that had staves were carried by their staves ( Numbers 4:6 ; Numbers 4:8 ; Numbers 4:11 ; Numbers 4:14 ); those that had not were carried upon a bar, or bier, or bearing barrow, Numbers 4:10 ; Numbers 4:12 . See how the tokens of God's presence in this world are movable things; but we look for a kingdom that cannot be moved. 2. Eleazar, now the eldest son of Aaron, is appointed overseer of the Kohathites in this service ( Numbers 4:16 ; Numbers 4:16 ); he must take care that nothing was forgotten, left behind, or displaced. As a priest he had more honour than the Levites, but then he had more care; and that care was a heavier burden, no doubt, upon his heart, than all the burdens that were laid upon their shoulders. It is much easier to do the work of the tabernacle than to discharge the trusts of it, to obey than to rule. 3. Great care must be taken to preserve the lives of these Levites, by preventing their unseasonable irreverent approach to the most holy things: Cut you not off the Kohathites, Numbers 4:18 ; Numbers 4:18 . Note, Those who do not what they can to keep others from sin do what they can to cut them off. [1.] The Kohathites must not see the holy things till the priests had covered them, Numbers 4:20 ; Numbers 4:20 . Even those that bore the vessels of the Lord saw not what they bore, so much were even those in the dark concerning the gospel whose office it was to expound the law. And, [2.] When the holy things were covered, they might not touch them, at least not the ark, called here the holy thing, upon pain of death, Numbers 4:15 ; Numbers 4:15 . Uzza was struck dead for the breach of this law. Thus were the Lord's ministers themselves then kept in fear, and that was a dispensation of terror, as well as darkness; but now, through Christ, the case is altered; we have seen with our eyes, and our hands have handles, the word of life ( 1 John 1:1 ), and we are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-21-33" class="com-number"

여호와께서 모세와 아론에게 말씀하셨다. 레위 자손 중에서 고핫 자손을, 그들의 가족과 조상의 가문을 따라 계수하되, 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하로서 회막에서 봉사할 자들을 모두 계수하라. 회막에서 고핫 자손이 맡을 직무는 지성물에 관한 것이다. 진영이 출발할 때에는 아론과 그의 아들들이 들어가 휘장을 내려 증거궤를 덮고, 그 위에 돌고래 가죽 덮개를 씌운 다음 청색 천을 펼치고 채를 꿰어야 한다. 진설병 상 위에는 청색 천을 펴고 그 위에 접시와 숟가락과 대접과 부어 드리는 잔을 놓되, 항상 올려두는 빵도 그 위에 있어야 한다. 또 진홍색 천을 그 위에 펼치고 돌고래 가죽 덮개로 덮은 다음 채를 꿰어야 한다. 등잔대와 등잔, 불집게, 불똥 그릇, 기름 용기 등 모든 기름 용기는 청색 천으로 덮고 돌고래 가죽 덮개 안에 넣어 채에 얹어야 한다. 금 향단 위에도 청색 천을 펼치고 돌고래 가죽 덮개로 덮은 후 채를 꿰어야 한다. 성소에서 봉사할 때 쓰는 모든 기구들도 청색 천에 싸서 돌고래 가죽 덮개로 덮어 채에 얹어야 한다. 제단의 재를 치운 다음 자색 천을 그 위에 펼치고, 향로, 고기 갈고리, 부삽, 대야 등 제단에서 쓰는 모든 기구를 그 위에 놓은 다음 돌고래 가죽 덮개를 씌우고 채를 꿰어야 한다. 아론과 그의 아들들이 성소와 모든 성소 기구를 다 덮은 뒤에야 고핫 자손들이 와서 그것들을 운반할 수 있다. 그러나 그들은 성물에 손을 대어서는 안 되며, 만지면 죽는다. 이것이 회막에서 고핫 자손이 질 짐이다. 제사장 아론의 아들 엘르아살은 등불용 기름, 향기로운 향, 항상 드리는 소제물, 관유를 맡고, 또 온 성막과 그 안의 모든 것, 곧 성소와 그 기구들을 감독해야 한다.

여호와께서 모세와 아론에게 말씀하셨다. 고핫 족속이 레위인 중에서 끊어지지 않게 하라. 그들이 지성물에 가까이 할 때 살고 죽지 않으려면 이렇게 하라. 아론과 그의 아들들이 들어가서 각자에게 맡길 직무와 짐을 지정해 주어야 한다. 고핫 자손은 성물이 덮이기 전에 들어가서 보아서는 안 되며, 보면 죽는다.

여기서 레위 지파를 두 번째로 계수하는 장면이 나온다. 그 지파 전체가 이스라엘 가운데서 하나님의 소유로 구별되었듯이, 그 지파 중 장년 남자들이 나머지 사람들 가운데서 따로 뽑혀 회막 봉사에 실제로 종사하게 된다. 다음 사항들을 살펴보자.

I. 계수에 포함될 자들. 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하의 모든 남자이다. 다른 지파는 전쟁에 나갈 자를 스무 살 이상으로 계수하였으나, 레위인은 서른 살부터 쉰 살까지만이다. 하나님께 드리는 봉사에는 우리의 가장 좋은 힘과 인생의 황금기가 필요하기 때문이다. 그 시간을 하나님의 영광을 위해 쓰는 것보다 더 값진 일은 없다. 좋은 군인이 되는 것이 좋은 사역자가 되는 것보다 훨씬 빠르다.

1. 그들은 서른 살이 되기 전에는 임무를 맡을 수 없었다. 그때까지는 어리고 경솔한 면이 남아 있어, 레위인의 봉사를 수행하고 그 명예를 감당할 만한 무게가 충분하지 않았기 때문이다. 그들은 스물다섯 살에 수련생으로 들어가고(민 8:24), 다윗 시대에는 일이 더 많아 스무 살부터 시작하기도 했지만(대상 23:24; 스 3:8), 5년간 배우고 대기하며 준비해야 했다. 다윗 시대에도 스무 살부터 서른 살까지 10년간 준비했다. 세례 요한도 예수님도 서른 살에 공적 사역을 시작하셨다. 이것이 오늘날 복음 사역자들에게 문자 그대로 적용되어 반드시 서른 살이 되어야 시작하거나 쉰 살에 그만두어야 한다는 뜻은 아니지만, 두 가지 좋은 원칙을 준다. (1) 사역자는 초보자여서는 안 된다(딤전 3:6). 성숙한 판단력과 굳건함이 요구되는 일이므로, 지식으로 아이 같고 아직 아이 것을 버리지 못한 자는 그 일에 매우 부적합하다. (2) 가르치기 전에 먼저 배우고, 다스리기 전에 먼저 섬기며, 먼저 검증을 받아야 한다(딤전 3:10).

2. 쉰 살이 되면 그들은 회막 운반 같은 힘든 봉사에서 물러났다. 이는 특히 광야에서 가장 많이 필요했던 봉사였다. 노년이 시작될 때 그들을 풀어 준 것은 (1) 그들에 대한 배려로, 힘이 쇠하기 시작할 때 지나치게 수고하지 않게 하기 위함이었다. 20년의 충실한 봉사는 한 사람에게 충분하다고 보았다. (2) 봉사의 품위를 위해, 노령의 쇠약함으로 느리고 무거워진 자들이 맡지 않게 하기 위함이었다. 하나님의 봉사는 가장 활기차고 능동적인 상태에서 드려야 한다. 회개를 노년으로 미루는 자들은 이를 생각하지 않는 것이다. 가장 좋은 일을 가장 나쁜 때에 남겨 두는 셈이다.

II. 그들의 직무. 그들은 회막에서 일하는 '군대에 들어가는 자들'로 묘사된다. 사역은 선한 일이며(딤전 3:1), 사역자들은 명예만이 아니라 수고를 위해, 삯만이 아니라 일을 위해 세움을 받는다. 또한 좋은 싸움이기도 하다(딤전 1:18). 사역에 들어간다는 것은 군대에 들어가는 것임을 알고, 선한 군사답게 처신해야 한다(딤후 2:3). 고핫 자손의 직무를 구체적으로 살펴보면 다음과 같다.

1. 장막을 이동할 때의 직무. 훗날 성막이 고정된 뒤에는 다른 직무가 주어졌지만, 이것이 그날그날 해야 할 당일의 일이었다. 이스라엘 진영이 어디로 가든 여호와의 성막도 함께 이동하였고, 그 운반을 위한 수고가 필요했다. 우리도 어디를 가든 우리의 신앙을 함께 가져가야 하며, 그것이나 그 어떤 부분도 잊어서는 안 된다. 고핫 자손은 성막의 모든 성물을 운반하게 되어 있었다. 그들이 이전에 그 일을 맡았지만(민 3:31), 여기서는 더 구체적인 지시가 주어진다.

(1) 아론과 제사장 아들들이 고핫 자손이 운반할 물건들을 싸야 했다(민 4:5 이하). 하나님께서는 지성소에 아론만 연 일회 향연 구름 가운데서 들어가도록 정하셨으나(레 16:2), 광야에서의 불안정한 상황 때문에 그 규정이 완화되었다. 진영이 이동할 때마다 아론과 그의 아들들이 들어가 궤를 내리고 운반할 수 있게 싸야 했다. 쉐키나, 즉 시은소 위의 하나님의 영광의 현현은 구름 기둥이 걷혀 이동할 때 잠시 물러났고, 그때는 궤에 가까이 가도 위험하지 않았다.

(2) 모든 성물을 덮어야 했다. 궤와 상은 세 겹으로, 나머지는 두 겹으로 덮었다. 제단의 재조차도, 거기서 거룩한 불이 소중히 보존되고 묻혀 있는 그 재도 자색 천으로 덮어야 했다(민 4:13). 뜰 안에 있어 모든 사람이 볼 수 있었던 놋 제단도 운반할 때는 덮었다. 이 모든 덮개는 다음을 위한 것이었다.

[1] 안전을 위해. 성물이 바람에 흐트러지거나, 비에 더럽혀지거나, 태양에 빛이 바래지 않도록 보존하기 위함이다. 모든 영광 위에 덮개가 있다. 두꺼운 돌고래 가죽 덮개는 빗물을 막아 주었다. 우리도 이 세상 광야를 지나가는 동안 어떤 날씨에도 대비해야 한다(사 4:5-6).

[2] 품위와 장식을 위해. 대부분의 성물에는 청색, 자색, 또는 진홍색 천이 가장 겉에 펼쳐졌다. 궤는 청색 천만으로 덮였는데(민 4:6), 어떤 이들은 이것을 우리와 높은 곳에 계신 하나님의 위엄 사이에 드리워진 하늘의 창공을 상징하는 것으로 본다(욥 26:9). 하나님께 신실한 자들은 사람들 앞에서도 아름답게 보이도록 힘써 우리 구주 하나님의 교훈을 빛나게 해야 한다.

[3] 감춤을 위해. 이는 그 시대 경륜의 어둠을 상징한다. 지금은 복음을 통해 빛 가운데 드러나 어린아이들에게도 계시된 것이, 당시에는 지혜 있고 슬기 있는 자들에게 숨겨져 있었다. 그들은 덮개만 보고 성물 자체는 볼 수 없었다(히 10:1). 그러나 이제 그리스도께서 덮개를 없애 버리셨다(사 25:7).

(3) 모든 성물을 덮은 후에야 고핫 자손이 어깨에 메어 운반하였다. 채가 있는 것은 채로 운반하고(민 4:6, 8, 11, 14), 채가 없는 것은 막대나 들것에 얹었다(민 4:10, 12). 이 세상에서 하나님의 임재의 표징들은 이동하는 것들이다. 그러나 우리는 흔들리지 않을 나라를 바라본다.

2. 아론의 맏아들 엘르아살이 이 봉사에서 고핫 자손의 감독자로 임명된다(민 4:16). 그는 아무것도 잊어버리거나 뒤에 두거나 잘못 배치되지 않도록 살펴야 했다. 제사장으로서 레위인들보다 더 큰 영예를 받았지만, 더 큰 수고도 따랐다. 그 수고가 마음 위에 지워진 짐은 의심할 여지 없이 그들의 어깨에 지워진 모든 짐보다 무거웠다. 성막에서 일하는 것이 성막의 신뢰를 감당하는 것보다, 복종하는 것이 다스리는 것보다 훨씬 쉽다.

3. 고핫 자손이 때를 알지 못하고 경솔하게 지성물에 가까이 가지 못하도록 각별히 조심하여 그들의 생명을 보호해야 했다. "고핫 족속이 끊어지지 않게 하라"(민 4:18). 다른 이들이 죄짓지 않도록 최선을 다하지 않는 자는 그들을 끊어지게 하는 데 일조하는 셈이다.

[1] 제사장들이 덮기 전에는 고핫 자손이 성물을 보면 안 되었다(민 4:20). 여호와의 기구들을 운반하는 자들조차 자신들이 운반하는 것을 볼 수 없었다. 이는 율법을 해설하는 것을 직무로 삼던 자들조차 복음에 관해 얼마나 캄캄한 어둠 속에 있었는지를 보여 준다.

[2] 성물을 덮은 후에도 그것들, 특히 '성물'이라 불리는 궤를 만지면 죽임을 당하였다(민 4:15). 웃사는 이 규정을 어기다가 죽임을 당했다. 이처럼 주님의 사역자들조차 두려움 속에 있었던 그 시대는 공포와 어둠의 경륜이었다. 그러나 이제 그리스도를 통해 사정이 달라졌다. 우리는 생명의 말씀을 눈으로 보고 손으로 만졌으며(요일 1:1), 담대히 은혜의 보좌 앞에 나아가도록 격려를 받는다.

21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families; 23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens: 25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve. 27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens. 28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers; 30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof, 32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. We have here the charge of the other two families of the Levites, which, though not so honourable as the first, yet was necessary, and was to be done regularly. 1. The Gershonites were charged with all the drapery of the tabernacle, the curtains, and hangings, and the coverings of badgers' skins, Numbers 4:22-26 ; Numbers 4:22-26 . These they were to take down when the cloud removed, and the ark and the rest of the holy things were carried away, to pack up and bring with them, and then to set up again, where the cloud rested. Aaron and his sons allotted to them their respective charge: "You shall take care of such a curtain, and you of such a hanging, that every one may know his work, and there may be no confusion," Numbers 4:27 ; Numbers 4:27 . Ithamar particularly was to take the oversight of them, Numbers 4:28 ; Numbers 4:28 . 2. The Merarites were charged with the heavy carriage, the boards and bars, the pillars and sockets, the pins and cords, and these were delivered to them by name, Numbers 4:31 ; Numbers 4:32 . An inventory was given them of every particular, that it might be forthcoming, and nothing to seek, when the tabernacle was to be set up again. Though these seemed of less importance than the other things pertaining to the sanctuary, yet there was this care taken of them, to teach us with the greatest exactness to preserve pure and entire all divine institutions, and to take care that nothing be lost. It also intimates the care God takes of his church, and every member of it; the good Shepherd calls his own sheep by name, John 10:3 . Here were thousands of men employed about these services, though a much less number would have served for the bearing of those burdens; but it was requisite that the tabernacle should be taken down, and set up, with great expedition, and many hands would make quick work, especially when every one knew his work. They had tents of their own to take care of, and to take along with them, but the young men under thirty, and the old men above fifty, might serve for them; nor is there any mention of them, for God's house must always be preferred before our own. Their care was preposterous who built and ceiled their own houses while God's house lay waste, Haggai 1:4 ; Haggai 1:9 . The death of the saints is represented as the taking down of the tabernacle ( 2 Corinthians 5:1 ), and the putting of it off, 2 Peter 1:14 . The immortal soul, like the most holy things, is first covered and taken away, carried by angels, unseen, under the inspection of the Lord Jesus, our Eleazar. Care is also taken of the body--the skin and flesh, which are as the curtains, the bones and sinews which are as the bars and pillars; none of these shall be lost; commandment is given concerning the bones, a covenant made with the dust; these are in safe custody, and shall all be produced in the great day, when this tabernacle shall be set up again, and these vile bodies made like the glorious body of Jesus Christ. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-34-49" class="com-number"

여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하셨다. 게르손 자손도 그 조상의 가문을 따라 족속별로 계수하되, 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하로서 회막 봉사에 들어갈 자들을 모두 계수하라. 게르손 족속의 직무는 섬기는 것과 짐을 지는 것이다. 그들은 성막의 포장, 곧 회막과 그 덮개, 그 위의 돌고래 가죽 덮개, 회막 문의 휘장, 뜰의 포장, 성막과 제단 주위 뜰 문의 휘장, 그 줄들, 그것들과 관련된 모든 기구들을 운반해야 한다. 게르손 자손의 모든 봉사와 짐과 직무는 아론과 그의 아들들의 지시에 따라 이루어지고, 그 짐을 지키는 일은 그들에게 맡겨야 한다. 이것이 회막에서 게르손 자손의 직무이며, 그들의 감독은 제사장 아론의 아들 이다말이 맡는다. 므라리 자손은 그 족속과 조상의 가문을 따라 계수하되, 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하로서 회막 봉사에 들어갈 자들을 모두 계수하라. 회막 봉사에서 그들이 질 짐은 성막의 널판, 그 띠, 기둥, 받침, 뜰 주위의 기둥과 그 받침, 말뚝, 줄 등 모든 기구들이다. 각 사람에게 이름을 들어 기구들을 지정해 주어야 한다. 이것이 므라리 자손의 직무로, 제사장 아론의 아들 이다말의 감독 아래 이루어진다.

여기서 레위의 다른 두 족속의 직무를 다룬다. 첫 번째 족속만큼 영예롭지는 않지만 필요한 일이었고, 질서 있게 수행해야 했다.

1. 게르손 자손은 성막의 모든 천 막, 곧 포장과 덮개, 돌고래 가죽 덮개를 맡았다(민 4:22-26). 구름이 걷히고 궤와 다른 성물들이 먼저 옮겨지면, 이것들을 걷어 짐으로 꾸리고 구름이 머무는 곳에 다시 설치하는 일을 했다. 아론과 그의 아들들이 각자에게 맡길 짐을 지정해 주었다. "네가 이 포장을 맡고, 저 사람은 저 휘장을 맡으라"는 식으로 각자가 자기 일을 알아 혼란이 없게 하였다(민 4:27). 그들의 감독은 이다말이 맡았다(민 4:28).

2. 므라리 자손은 무거운 짐, 곧 널판과 띠, 기둥과 받침, 말뚝과 줄을 맡았다. 이것들은 이름을 들어 일일이 인계되었다(민 4:31-32). 성막을 다시 설치할 때 빠지는 것이 없고 부족한 것이 없도록 각 물건의 목록이 주어졌다. 성소에 속한 것들보다 덜 중요해 보이는 것들도 이처럼 세심하게 관리한 것은, 모든 하나님의 제도를 가장 정밀하게 순수하고 온전하게 보존하고 아무것도 잃어버리지 않도록 가르친다. 또한 하나님이 자기 교회와 그 모든 지체를 돌보심을 보여 주기도 한다. 선한 목자께서는 자기 양들을 이름으로 부르신다(요 10:3).

수천 명이 이 봉사에 종사했는데, 사실 그 짐을 운반하는 데만은 그보다 훨씬 적은 수로도 충분했다. 그러나 성막을 신속하게 걷고 세워야 했기에 많은 손이 필요했다. 서른 살 미만의 젊은이들과 쉰 살 이상의 노인들은 자기 천막을 돌볼 수 있었고, 여기서는 그들에 대해 따로 언급하지 않는다. 하나님의 집은 항상 자기 집보다 우선시되어야 하기 때문이다. 하나님의 집이 황폐한데 자기 집을 짓고 판자를 댄 이들의 처사는 순서가 뒤바뀐 것이었다(학 1:4, 9). 성도의 죽음은 성막을 걷는 것으로, 그것을 벗는 것으로 표현된다(고후 5:1; 벧후 1:14). 불멸의 영혼은, 지성물처럼 먼저 덮이고 떠나가되, 우리의 엘르아살이신 주 예수님의 감독 아래 천사들이 보이지 않게 운반한다. 몸도 돌봄을 받는다. 피부와 살은 포장과 같고, 뼈와 힘줄은 띠와 기둥과 같다. 이것들 중 하나도 잃어버리지 않는다. 뼈들에게도 명령이 주어지고 티끌과 언약이 맺어진다. 이것들은 안전하게 보관되다가 대심판 날, 이 성막이 다시 세워질 때 모두 나타날 것이다. 이 천한 몸들이 예수 그리스도의 영광스러운 몸처럼 변화될 것이다.

34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation: 36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers, 39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD . 42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 43 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation, 48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses. We have here a particular account of the numbers of the three families of the Levites respectively, that is, of the effective men, between thirty years old and fifty. Observe, 1. The Kohathites were, in all, 8600 from a month old and upwards; but of these there were but 2750 serviceable men, not a third part. The Gershonites, in all, 7500, and of them but 2630 serviceable men, little more than a third part. Note, Of the many that add to the numbers of the church, there are comparatively but few that contribute to the service of it. So it has been, and so it is; many have a place in the tabernacle that do but little of the work of the tabernacle, Philippians 2:20 ; Philippians 2:21 . 2. That the Merarites were but 6200 in all, and yet of these there were 3200 serviceable men, that is, more than half. The greatest burden lay upon that family, the boards, and pillars, and sockets; and God so ordered it that, though they were the fewest in number, yet they should have the most able men among them; for whatever service God calls men to he will furnish them for it, and give strength in proportion to the work, grace sufficient. 3. The whole number of the able men of the tribe of Levi who entered into God's host to war his warfare was but 8580, whereas the able men of the other tribes that entered into the host of Israel to war their warfare were many more. The least of the tribes had almost four times as many able men as the Levites, and some of them more than eight times as many; for those that are engaged in the service of this world, and war after the flesh, are many more than those that are devoted to the service of God, and fight the good fight of faith. return to ' Top of Page ' Numbers Num 3 Numbers Num Numbers Num 5 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

모세와 아론과 회중의 지도자들이 고핫 자손을 그 족속과 조상의 가문을 따라 계수하였다. 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하로서 회막 봉사에 들어갈 자들을 계수하니, 그 족속별 계수는 이천칠백오십 명이었다. 이들이 회막 봉사에서 일할 수 있는 고핫 족속의 계수된 자들로, 모세가 여호와의 명령대로 모세의 손을 통해 계수한 자들이다. 게르손 자손은 그 족속과 조상의 가문을 따라 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하로서 회막 봉사에 들어갈 자들을 계수하니 이천육백삼십 명이었다. 므라리 자손은 그 족속과 조상의 가문을 따라 계수하니 삼천이백 명이었다. 레위인 전체의 봉사 가능자 총수는 팔천오백팔십 명이었다. 이들은 여호와의 명령대로 모세의 손을 통해, 각자의 봉사와 짐에 따라 계수된 자들이다.

여기서는 레위의 세 족속 각각의 장년 봉사자 수, 곧 서른 살 이상 쉰 살 이하의 남자들을 구체적으로 기록한다. 다음 사항들을 살펴보자.

1. 고핫 자손은 전체가 8,600명이었는데(한 달 이상의 남자), 그 가운데 봉사 가능자는 2,750명으로 3분의 1도 채 되지 않았다. 게르손 자손은 전체 7,500명에 봉사 가능자가 2,630명으로 3분의 1을 약간 넘는다. 교회의 수를 늘리는 많은 이들이 교회의 봉사에 실제로 기여하는 자들은 비교적 소수라는 것이다. 예나 지금이나 그렇다. 성막에 자리를 차지하고 있으면서 실제로 성막의 일은 거의 하지 않는 이들이 많다(빌 2:20-21).

2. 므라리 자손은 전체가 6,200명에 불과했지만, 봉사 가능자는 3,200명으로 절반을 넘었다. 가장 무거운 짐, 곧 널판과 기둥과 받침을 그 족속이 맡았다. 하나님께서는 수가 가장 적어도 가장 강건한 사람들이 그들 중에 있도록 섭리하셨다. 하나님께서 어떤 봉사로 부르시든 그에 맞게 갖추어 주시고, 일의 분량에 비례하여 힘을 주시며, 충분한 은혜를 주신다.

3. 하나님의 군대에 들어가 그 싸움을 싸우기 위해 부름받은 레위 지파의 장년 남자 총수는 8,580명에 불과했지만, 이스라엘의 싸움을 싸우기 위해 군대에 들어간 다른 지파의 장년 남자들은 훨씬 더 많았다. 가장 작은 지파도 레위인 봉사 가능자의 거의 네 배, 어떤 지파는 여덟 배 이상이었다. 이 세상을 섬기고 육신을 따라 싸우는 자들이 하나님의 봉사에 헌신하여 믿음의 선한 싸움을 싸우는 자들보다 훨씬 많기 때문이다.
