Num 1:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : Moses and Aaron began the census right away, on the first day of the second month. This shows that when God gives us a job to do, it is best to start it quickly, while we feel motivated. The census did not take long, probably just one day, because the people were all together and a similar count had been done recently ( v. 1, 18; Numbers 10:11 ; 2 Samuel 24:8 ).

‏ Numbers 1:18

v. 18: Moses and Aaron began the census right away, on the first day of the second month. This shows that when God gives us a job to do, it is best to start it quickly, while we feel motivated. The census did not take long, probably just one day, because the people were all together and a similar count had been done recently (v. 1, 18; Numbers 10:11 ^a; 2 Samuel 24:8 ^b).
