0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.
0:06.0	Numbers chapter 1 verse 54
0:09.0	thus did the people of Israel.
0:12.0	They did according to all that the Lord commanded
0:16.2	Moses. It's kind of an ironic conclusion to the first chapter of the book of
0:22.2	numbers to hear about the people of God doing

1:35.9	different places around the world and it gets to the end of his life and he's
