CLCT 2cor4:5 (ESV) 25 I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness. 26 And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. 27 Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things— 28 which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found. 29 See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes. Keep the Kings Command na ti gate CT (ESV Study Bible Notes) 7:27 this is what I found . . . the scheme of things. The verb “to find” is a key word in this section (vv. 26, 27, 28, 29) and has the meaning of “find out, figure out, comprehend” (see note on 3:11). As stated earlier (1:13), the Preacher is on a quest to understand all of reality.

In spite of those who reject his gospel, Paul does not lose heart in his ministry because through it God is bringing about the beginning of the new creation amid this fallen world. (ESV Study Bible Notes) 3:11–13 Reason for the Levitical Census. In the last plague, every firstborn male Egyptian and every firstborn of their cattle died, but the Israelite boys and cattle were spared. So after this, all Israelite firstborn boys and cattle were dedicated to God. That meant the cattle were sacrificed and the boys should have served God in the sanctuary (Ex. 11:4–13:15). But after the golden calf incident, the Levites took the place of the firstborn boys (Ex. 32:25–29). 3:14–39 The Clans Numbers, Positions, and Responsibilities. The census results are listed by clan, specifying which parts of the tabernacle each clan was responsible for carrying and which side they had to guard (see diagram). Most privileged were the Kohathites (8,600), camping on the south side and responsible for the ark and other holy furniture. Next in privilege were the Gershonites (7,500), camping on the west side and responsible for the curtains and hangings. Finally came the Merarites (6,200), camping on the north side and looking after the frames, pegs, etc. The total number of Levites (v. 39) is 22,000, which is 300 less than the sum of the individual clans. The likeliest explanation is that, due to a copyists error, the number of Kohathites should be 8,300, not 8,600. The numerals 6 and 3 are very similar in Hebrew. The location of the priests at the east side of the tabernacle guarding its entrance (v. 38) may anticipate the role of Jesus as high priest, giving his people access to Gods presence in heaven (Hebrews 9–10). Positions and Duties of the Levites 3:40–51 Redemption of the Firstborn. The census showed there were 273 fewer Levites than firstborn males in the other tribes. To redeem these 273 Israelites who had no Levite to take their place, five shekels (v. 47) per person had to be paid. This is the tariff prescribed in Lev. 27:6 for boys under five. Five shekels would have been about a years pay for a herdsman. 3:43 all the firstborn males . . . were 22,273. If the total population was over 2 million, as some hold, then this number would only represent the number of firstborn males born since the exodus. Other interpreters understand this figure as the total of all firstborn in Israel, which would then indicate a much smaller total population. (ESV Study Bible Notes) 36:17–21 Excavations on the Ophel hill in Jerusalem have revealed some domestic structures belonging to Judeans just before Nebuchadnezzars destruction in 586 b.c. One four-room house sits at the base of the massive stone-stepped structure. It is called the “house of Ahiel” because an inscription with his name was found in the house. See also note on 2 Kings 25:9–10. 4:18 will rescue me. An assurance of ultimate well-being, not an assurance of release from his present danger. Paul entirely expects execution, but even through death God will bring him safely into his heavenly kingdom (cf. Luke 21:16–19). 4:19 Prisca (a variant of Priscilla) and Aquila are often mentioned in connection with Paul (e.g., Acts 18:2, 18, 26). 4:20 Trophimus, who was ill. Even Paul, with his apostolic gifts (cf. Acts 19:11–12; 2 Cor. 12:12), was not always empowered to heal. Christians today should pray earnestly for physical healing, but God is still sovereign in whether he grants healing in each specific case. 4:21 Travel in the Mediterranean was basically suspended during winter due to dangerous conditions by both land and sea. If his trip to Rome was not completed before then, Timothy would not be able to come “soon” (v. 9). 4:22 be with your spirit.

Gods word to him is a reminder that the obstacles that face him in the rebuilding task will not be overcome by conventional resources of might or power. Instead, the resources will come from an outpouring of Gods Spirit (see Hag. 2:5). SpiritRev2122 לחיים to life (ESV Study Bible Notes) 21:22 its temple is the Lord God . . . and the Lamb.
