Welcome to the Levite Support Blog!
Why "Levite" ?
The word "Levite" comes from the name Levi. Levites are the descendants of the Tribe of Levi, the first tribe of Israel. Levi, the tribe's head was the eldest brother of Joseph(the dreamer).
Originally, firstborn sons were designated to be the holy tribe, the ones who would serve in the Tabernacle and the Temples, and be the spiritual leaders of our nation; God having "acquired" them when He spared them during the Plague of the Firstborn in Egypt. When the Tribe of Levi proved their mettle during the debacle of the Golden Calf, God removed the privilege of priesthood from the firstborns and instead sanctified the entire tribe of Levi.
The Levites' primary tasks in the temple are:
> Carrying the Tabernacle and its vessels when the Jews traveled in the desert.
> Guarding the Temple as watchmen and doormen.
I really have this thing with little children singing God's praises. this one is so cute that i had to post it here as soon as i saw it. She's only 2 years old. She sings the Lord's prayer in this video and is just very adorable. There's no preachy stuff here. Just the joy of hearing a small voice singing a sweet, sweet sound for God's ears. hope you enjoy as much as I did. :)
