Duties And Rules and the Delegation of Moses's Leadership

Chapter 4 of Numbers deals with the three clans of Levites and what their assigned duties to the Lord entail.  Through chapter 8 there are more Old Testament rules the Israelites are ordered to follow.

In chapter 9 there is a Second Passover.

Then, through chapter 10, they break camp and they move on towards the final destination.  The Ark of the Covenent always went on ahead and the Lord placed a cloud over them to hide them from their enemies' presence.

Starting in chapter 11, the people is Israel complain that they don't have any meat to eat.  Moses takes the complaints to the Lord and asks God why Moses has been given such a responsibility to all these people.  God then ordered Moses to assemble 70 respected men to act as leaders--a true act of delegation.
