This is my "God Spot" blog

Hello, and welcome to my "God Spot" blog. This is a place for me to journal about my relationship with God. It includes bible readings, other books I learn from, songs, thoughts, etc. Just stuff that has to do with my relationship with God. I have read the bible from cover to cover before and want to do it again but this time instead of going straight through from front to back I want to read it in a chronological order so I found a print out to map it out for me. I am a big history buff too so I may add things like maps or recent scientific discoveries, etc. I hope it will be fun, educational and that my relationship with God will be enhanced by it.

LEVI

  • Third born son to Jacob (Israel)
  • Born to Leah, Jacobs first (and less favored) wife.
  • Name probably means "Attached" because Leah said: "Now at least my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons."
  • The tribe of Levi did not receive land allotment when they, (the Israelite's) concurred Canaan.  Instead, they were to serve the other eleven tribes, the 'priests' so to speak and the other tribes were to give them 1/10th of all they made.
  • Married Melcha
  • He fathered three sons, Gershon, Kohath & Merari and possibly a daughter, Jochebed.
  • He, along with his brother Simeon destroyed the city of Shechem to avenge the rape of their sister, Dinah.
  • Was not in agreement with killing Joseph.
