THE KEY

WHAT THIS UNDOES
Belonging to a larger whole means losing your distinction.

THE PATTERN
A whole holds distinct members together without erasing their names.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.Numbers names each Kohathite line within a family; this verse pictures the same structure as a body with distinct members. The whole holds together while each part keeps its own place.
