Numbers 6

Numbers 6:1-27

Numbers 5:1-31; Numbers 6:1-272. The Sanctification of the Camp (Numbers 5-6) The people are now ready to follow God’ s leadings, but they must first be sanctified, fitted in heart and life to follow a holy God. The miscellaneous laws herein set forth all carry with them the idea of maintaining the holiness of the camp. The law of leprosy has been dealt with in Leviticus (cf. Page 210). The great lesson taught is that enunciated by the prophet, “ Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord” (Isaiah 52:11), and corroborated by the New Testament, “ If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’ s use, and prepared unto every good work” (2 Timothy 2:21).

Numbers 6:22-27

Numbers 6:22-27(d) The Aaronic Benediction (Numbers 6:22-27) Now that the cleansing of the camp is complete, we have the blessing of God falling upon it, and so the Aaronic benediction follows. Is there an intimation of the Trinity in this benediction? So it is in the Christian life today; when there is thorough consecration and sanctification, then comes the full blessing of God upon that life (John 7:37-39).
