The first 3 chapters of 1 Samuel introduce us to Samuel, the last judge of Israel.

More information on how priests were to behave is given in Leviticus 21 and 22.

Lessons Learned: More Than Just the Ten Commandments Exodus the book is synonymous with the exodus (the journey), and rarely do people remember anything else. Both movies, The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt , end after Moses is given the Ten Commandments (the former shows the ordeal with the golden calf, while the latter does not).

Aaron and his sons are called to the priesthood. In these chapters, we learn about the details of the priesthood which foreshadow the comping of Jesus Christ!

Have you ever wondered why certain colors are always present in the sanctuary? That's also covered in these chapters!
