Scripture Post #1,929: *LEVITES UNITED*

 

Exodus 32:26:

“Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.”

After the molten calf was made and worshipped, Moses caused a distinction to be made from those on the LORD’s side and those opposed. From this separation, the *LEVITES UNITED* themselves to the LORD’s side. Moses himself was a Levite. The tribe of Levi, from the 12 Tribes of Israel, was the only tribe chosen for priesthood ministry. And the only tribe with their very own Book of the Bible. This tribe made it known where they stood and Whom they stood for.
