* Scripture Mastery
* We began the book of Leviticus, learning that two of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu were devoured by fire when the Lord it down for them disobeying the Lord. The Lord isn't pleased when we disobey. We learned clean things could be eaten and uncleaned couldn't be eaten.
* We learned that goats were used as a sacrifice and that because of the Atonement of Christ, He is our "scapegoat" for sins.
We also the learned the difference between burnt offerings and sin offerings:
Burnt offering is the whole animal.
Sin offering is the choicest part of the flesh.
* We finished the book of Leviticus learning that we can obey the Lord by keeping the commandments, we should love our neighbors, we should not shave our heads (except for medical reasons) nor mark our bodies by cutting or tattooing, we shouldn't get vexed (or angered) by people.
* We began the book of Numbers by learning about the Camp of Israel which was comprised of 603, 550 men from the 12 tribes of Israel. The Levites were the workers at the Tabernacle. To the North were the tribes of Naphtali, Dan, and Asher. To the East were the tribes of Zebulun, Judah, Issachar. To the South were the tribes of Simeon, Reuben, and Gad. To the West were the tribes of Manessah, Ephraim, and Benjamin. The each tribe had captains appointed to lead them. It was the pattern that Joseph Smith used when he organized the Camp of Zion with the Pioneers which is found in Section 136 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
