3. Some cents about the need for a census
Verse routeLuke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. [kjv]
Verse route2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. [kjv]
Verse route2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) [kjv]

When they came to their senses, Joseph told Mary it was time to travel on a taxing journey. No "taxi" to go register for "taxes".
Who is the "passover lamb" born in the "House of Bread" who "broke the rules" for you and me?

4. Numbers 2: Algorithms and the camp of Israel
Verse routeNumbers 2:4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. [kjv]

Camp of Israel by tribe groups Ten commandments
The book of Numbers is named for the detailed census appearing in Numbers 2. The details can be boring but are part of an "algorithm" provided by God for their camp in the desert.
If the Israelites in the desert had followed the "algorithm" provided by God as how to precisely camp, their camp would have been laid out in the shape of a cross from the point of view of the "rising sun" in the morning.
