How Today’s Reading Contributes to the Gospel: God is Setting All Things Right
God chose the Levites to be dedicated to Him for His service.
God required the firstborn child to be dedicated to Him. Since this was given to the existing nation, He allowed the Levites to serve as a substitution for those born in Egypt. This meant they would be free to perform all the tasks God required to forgive sins, give sacrifices peace offering, thanksgiving offerings, etc.
