Sticking together

Here is Ezra getting ready to bring a group of exiles back to Jerusalem. Before they head out he did a head count and found that they were missing an important bunch, there were no Levites, he was the only one. The people had been told decades before to build houses and start families, what they had not been told to do was to set down roots. The vast majority had done just that and decided they liked it right where they were and didn't want to go anywhere. This COVID-19 threatens to do the same thing to the local assembly.
