THE PATTERN
Shared service is carried through distinct places arranged in an order.
These were their appointments for their serving, to come into the house of the LORD, according to their ordinance, by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.And it came to pass that, while he served as priest before God in the order of his shift,But now God has set the limbs, each one of them, in the body, as he willed.THE THREAD
Deliverance belongs to the LORD; your blessing is upon your people. Selah.Jeshua in this roster shares its Hebrew root with the word rendered “salvation” here, which carries the sense of deliverance. The psalm makes that root explicit, revealing the deliverance held within the roster’s name.
