This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. (Numbers 36:6)
Marry within the tribe. Or in today's speech, do not be unequally yoked. Marry only within your 'tribe' of fellow believers.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Only to the tribe of their Father shall they marry. That made me smile. I belong to the tribe of my Father. I had never thought of it that terminology. A tribal woman. LOL!

These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me. (Deuteronomy 5:22)
Those verses puzzled me. Those that are there alive with him is not the same group that came out of Egypt, unless you count them as having been there because they were in their Fathers' loins. Praying and pondering upon that...there would have been young people under 20 who were there and heard/saw the giving of the Law at Sinai...thus they are accountable. Another **obvious** that I did not catch.
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. (Deuteronomy 5:14-15)
:-D Lots of questions...and no firm answers! Yet. Okay browsing along and came across this site...truly interesting information. I liked this one in particular because it uses a timeline function which has 'clickable' time frames to explore further. Definitely worth bookmarking.
This article expressed a thought I have tumbled about in my mind, the early church 'appeared' to have met more frequently that once a week. Going from house to house and breaking bread.
Gill's commentary:
Act 2:46 And they continued daily with one accord in the temple,.... Every day they went up to the temple, at the time of prayer, or whenever any religious service was to be performed; this was their constant practice, and in this they agreed:
and breaking bread from house to house; either administering the Lord's supper in private houses, as the Jews kept their passover, sometimes administering it at one house, and sometimes at another; or because their number was so large, that one house could not hold them, they divided themselves into lesser bodies; and some met, and had the ordinance administered to them in one house, and some in another: or this may be understood of their common meals, which they ate together at one another's houses in great love and friendship; for
This article, written by a former Jewish Sabbath keeper (7th day), has now become a "Sabbath day keeper (1st day). I appreciated the perspective on this one, not to be legalistic. I still hold that the 7th day is the Sabbath, while many call the 1st day (Sunday) the Lord's day. I am not quite sold on calling the 1st day the Lord's day as being Scripturally substantiated...but am willing to research it. Mainly, because they are ALL HIS days. :-)
This article, Sunday is NOT the Sabbath, has some interesting information, but it is quite lengthy, I did not manage to muddle through it...skimming as I went. Remember in whatever you take in, here, or elsewhere, be a Berean. Check all out by the Word of God. Because that article referenced the 3rd commandment to keep the Sabbath...I went whhhhaaaatttt! So a little digging revealed that the Catholic Church appears to have changed the listing. If you would like an overview it is contained in the article, The Ten Commandments. Quite an interesting read.
