🌊 Numbers 6

Numbers 6 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without defect for a sin offering, and one ram without defect for peace offerings,” Numbers 6 opens with these words: “Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,” The line to keep is Numbers 6:2: ““Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh,” Carry the word “speak” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Numbers 6:2: ““Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh,” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Numbers 6? Then try this: Read ““Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
