Class Discussion

  1. Numbers 4:3, 23, & 30 register Levite men from age 30 to 50 “everyone who is qualified to
       perform service, to do work in at the tent of meeting”.  Number 8:24-25 shows the age of
       Levite men to be 25 to 50 when you serve in the work at the tent of meeting.  While there are
       other possible interpretations, one prevalent interpretation is the Levite men 25 to under 30
       were in an assistant or protégé role.  Discuss the value of this possible arrangement.  Is
       there any arrangement similar to this in the new covenant?
