Genesis 49:5-7 KJV – 5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations. 6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. 7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Deuteronomy 33:8-11 KJV – 8 And of Levi he said, [Let] Thy Thummim and Thy Urim [be] with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; 9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed Thy Word, and kept Thy Covenant. 10 They shall teach Jacob Thy Judgments, and Israel Thy Law: they shall put incense before Thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon Thine Altar. 11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
Numbers 2:17 KJV – Then The Tabernacle of The Congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
Numbers 1:47-53 KJV – But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. For The LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel: But thou shalt appoint the Levites over The Tabernacle of Testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear The Tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about The Tabernacle. And when The Tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when The Tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. But the Levites shall pitch round about The Tabernacle of Testimony, that there be no wrath upon the Congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of The Tabernacle of Testimony.
Numbers 3:35-37 KJV – And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side of The Tabernacle northward. And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of The Tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
Numbers 4:31-33 KJV – 31 And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to all their service in The Tabernacle of The Congregation; the boards of The Tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof, 32 And the pillars of the Court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in The Tabernacle of The Congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Levi
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CREATION, JESUS PLACED PATTERNS OF STARS IN THE SKY, LIGHTS WHICH SERVE FIRST AND FOREMOST AS THE TRIBAL “SIGNS” OR 12 MILITARY “ENSIGNIA” OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
[Genesis 1:14 KJV] 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,[H226] and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Of the 88 Constellations, or Patterns of Lights that make up the sky, the sun passes through only 12 of these ‘Owthowth, each one in its order. Scientists call the circuit the sun runs through these 12 Signs the “Ecliptic.”
The time it takes for the sun to pass through each ‘Owthowth varies. These time periods are called “Solar Months.” The 12 Biblical Months of the year are named after these 12 Solar Months.
The ‘Owthowth אוֹתוֹת (H226) of the Tribe of Levi is seventh in the sun’s circuit along the ecliptic, separated away from the Tribe of Simeon.
EACH “ SIGN” OR MILITARY “ENSIGN” IS EMBROIDERED ONTO ITS OWN “FLAG” OR “STANDARD” IN ONE OF THE FOUR COLORS OF THE FOUR CAMPS IN THEIR FOUR DIRECTIONS.
[Numbers 2:2 KJV] 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign[H226] of their father’s house: far off about The Tabernacle of The Congregation shall they pitch.
The Tribe of Levi does not go to war, and is not counted among the 12 “Companies” or Tribes of the Army of Israel. However, the Levites are members of each of the 12 Tribes in their four Camps, in their four directions, with their four Flag colors. At Camp, Merari is stationed between Dan’s Northern Camp and The Tabernacle. The Merarites’ Flag or “Standard” is Blue.
