simply desiring to know the LORD more

Simply sharing a wife/mom's discoveries in the living word of God

Ark (box) and Moses' brother

My friends used to tell me that if we were stuck in one spot and couldn't go on while we were trying to memorize a certain section of the Bible, then God is trying to say something to us. Well, I was not memorizing Leviticus. I was just reading it but couldn't go on and kept reading chapter 16 over and over. Then I remember to pray before dealing with God's precious words. It is God's words. My flesh alone cannot understand God's way. I am thankful God reminded me...again.

It is amazing how quickly I dry out if I don't go back to my first love towards God. "A little later" becomes too familiar and pretty soon I feel like I am okay without my time with the LORD and my in-depth word study. This study session alone with God is my fun time and God tickles my heart. I worry that I may be crazy spending time in my closet (I turned one closed into my room where I cannot close the door when I am in) but my friend's words encouraged me. She seems to think that God is actually guiding me into this place of studying the word of God. It was freeing.

So...

I started with Leviticus chapter 16 and started writing down some meanings of the original words, using the Strong's numbers and dictionary. Ohh... wow... I didn't know the Hebrew word for the ark was "ארון (arown) ". It sounds like Moses' brother's name "Aaron"!

אהרון (Aharown) - Aaron's name
ארון (arown) - ark, box, chest...Ark of Covenant

The difference between Aaron and ark is the letter "H" just like Abram's and Sarai's names.

Abram + H = Abraham
Sarai + H = Sarah

Aaron is in the line of Levis. His name is an ark plus "H". I wrote about the letter H which I learned from Hebrew For Christians. Letter H in Hebrew indicates the presence of God.

An ark + God's presence = Aaron, the Levi, the priest

Isn't it a perfect name for him!
