The Lord told Aaron and the tribe of Levi that they would not receive a land portion nor an inheritance with the rest of Israel. Instead, their portion and inheritance would be the Lord Himself. They were to live off of the tithes and offerings that the other tribes brought to the Tabernacle. There the Levites would serve the Lord and their support would come from that which was given to the Lord. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When old Abram was still childless, the Lord said to him, “I am your exceedingly great reward” (Gen. 15:1). Abram trusted the Lord, valuing Him above all others, and the Lord miraculously gave him a son, whom he named Isaac. And the Lord changed Abram\u2019s name to \u201cAbraham,\u201d which means \u201cFather of Many.\u201d For he has become the father of all who believe (cf. Rom. 4:16).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
