This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

• Numbers 8:1-9:23 includes setting up the lampstand, purifying/dedicating the Levites for service, and Passover observance with provisions for the unclean or travelers.
• Mark 9:33-50 teaches on true greatness (serving like a child), welcoming others in Jesus' name, avoiding causing sin (severe warnings about stumbling blocks), and living in peace as salted with fire.
