Study Lenses

The verse centers on "hath", "separated", "jehovah", "days", "separation", "brought", and "lamb". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "hath" and "separated", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 11's "and the priest hath prepared one for..." into verse 13's "And this FI is Fi the law...", so "hath" and "separated" belong inside that flow. In Numbers context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "hath" and "separated" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
