Comments:
Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible and is the account of the 38 year period of the nation of Israel’s wandering in the desert following the establishment of the covenant at Mt. Sinai. The term “numbers” is based on the census found in chapters 1 and 26. The Hebrew title is “in the desert” and is descriptive of the action of the book.
Chapter 1 is basically the census. Chapter 2 talks about how the people are arranged in tribal camps. Chapter three talks about one of the tribes – Levi – and how they are set apart as the priests.
In Numbers we are going to read of Israel’s journey toward the Promised Land. There will be murmuring and rebellion along the way. And we will see how God deals with all this.
