Numbers 5, some rules were given to uphold the purity and holiness of God's people in the camp, where God lived among them.

Numbers 4, the Lord divided up the many specific duties of the Levites and assigned them to the different Levite family clans--the Kohathites, Gershonites, Meranites,

Numbers 3, the Levites were called to serve Aaron as assistants, performing the sacred duties in and around the Tabernacle, maintaining all the holy furnishings inside the sacred tent on behalf of all the Israelites. God said, "I have chosen the Levites from among the Israelites as substitutes for all the firstborn sons of the people of Israel.

Numbers 2, God gave instructions to Moses and Aaron, "Each tribe will be assigned its own area in the camp, and the various groups will camp beneath their family banners. The Tabernacle will be at the center." Each clan and family set up camp just as God had instructed.

Numbers 1 , God said to Moses, "Take a census of the whole community of Israel by their clans and families List the names of all the men twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron are to direct the project, assisted by one family leader from each tribe."

Leviticus 24-27 provides instructions regarding conversation and conduct in the promised land. Profanity is forbidden and dealt with severely, vows and freewill offerings to the Lord are to be carried out as promised. Also, rules are given regarding regular periods of rest for the land. Every seventh year there must be rest given without sowing or reaping, and every fiftieth year marks a jubilee when debts are cancelled and possessions go back to their original owners. God promises to bless in abundance the year prior to the Sabbath year and Jubilee years, just like He supplied the double portion of daily manna before each Sabbath. "These are the decrees, laws, and regulations that the Lord established on Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses".

Leviticus 23 'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.' When we recognize and appreciate the mercies that we have received from God, it becomes easier and even natural to show mercy to others.
