Separation and Service; or, Thoughts on Numbers VI, VII.

by James Hudson Taylor

PART III.

Princely Service.

Numb. vii.

We learned from Numbers vi, God's requirements of those who desire to take the privileged position of separation to Himself. We found also in the conclusion of the same chapter the overflow of God's love in the rich and comprehensive blessing which so appropriately follows, and forms the connecting link between Nazarite separation and the princely service set forth in Chap. vii,—one of the longest in the Bible, and one full of repetition. We now propose to consider more fully why this service of giving finds such lengthy record.
