At what age is a man considered an independent adult?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 31 Notes For Numbers: 20 (Numbers 1:3). Although the USA has the age of 18 for an adult, and some other countries might have various other laws dictating when someone is an adult, the Scriptures clearly show a man is not considered a full adult until he is 20 years old. It was at this age it appears he would, under normal circumstances, be permitted to look for his own wife to start a family or join the military. However, I do not believe it is Yahweh's will for any man to join any military today when we are not living in a nation of Israel governed exclusively by Yahweh's laws and having direct guidance from Yahweh Himself on which wars to wage as during Biblical times.
