The next section deals with the temple musicians which came out the lineage of priests. These are the men that David put in charge of music in the house of the Lord after the ark came to rest there. Some are referenced in the book of Psalms. They had prescribed duties and ministered with music before the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, until Solomon built the temple. Heman, Asaph and Ethan were the chief musicians. The rest of the Levites also served in and round the Lord’s
house. Some of them guarded the gates. Some of them took care of the equipment
of the tent. Other Levites helped the priests. They killed the animals and
prepared them for the priests.
Interesting section since music does play a big part of worship even today. David, himself, was a musician and a songwriter as well as dancer (?) and knew and acknowledged music as part of giving God the glory.
Good day yesterday - busy yet productive. I guess my overall stress level has been reduced given some very good BP readings. 2 losses for the offensively challenged Mets but my Rangers didn't disappoint.
Praise for today: The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Ps. 28:8.
