Observation:
- Read Joshua 21 and mark each of the sons of Levi in a different color: Sons of Kohath/Kohathites, Sons of Gershon/Gershonites, Sons of Merari/ Merarites, Sons of Araron.
- Also mark these words: The Lord/God, Joshua, commanded, sworn/promises.
- Get out your map of the Levites from last week and color code the cities given to the Levites as you color coded each son of Levi in the text. (If you missed last week the map is here)
Answer the following questions in your journal about the text:
- What do the sons of Levi ask for? Why?
- How many cities are given to the Sons of Levi? How are they situated on the map?
- What do you learn about God at the end of this chapter? Make a list of everything you learn.
Interpretation:
Look up the following verses and write down what you learn about the role of the Levites:
- Deuteronomy 18:1-8
- Deuteronomy 17:8-13
- Malachi 2:4-7
Thinking about the role of the Levites and their location throughout the land what would it mean to the people of the land to have the Levites around them?
If the Levites did what they were supposed to do how would this impact the life and culture of the people?
Application:
What is the role of the church in the community? Do you see any parallels between the Levites in their designated cities and the local churches?
What role does our church have in impacting our community?
What about you personally? Are you impacting the people and the community around you?
