Going with God's blessing, His protection and face shining on them was what it meant to have God's Name upon them. The blessing ensured this.
Ch 7 - the reminder that the offerings were costly and significant was important for the Israelites. These were no insignificant momentary gifts, but things that would have taken much dedication and cost.
Ch 8 - reinforces that the Israelites are a separate, holy people. The Levites were to be set apart as a people, set apart for God. The Levites were to be set apart for God, they worked under the High Priest and served the people.
Ch 9 - reminds us of the importance of the Passover. God Himself required that the Israelites remembered the Passover - it was significant to them.
Moses was to seek God's face, finding out what He wanted and how they were supposed to do things. It is a reminder to us of the importance of keeping close to God in the midst of leadership.
God's presence to guide us - we can be assured of His presence with us, as we obey Him...however, we must obey His every call.
Ch 10 is a reminder that although God leads us, we are expected to do things ourselves also. We are not just passive observers, but active participants in God's big picture!
The trumpets are a reminder of commemoration and celebration. God remembers and acts.
