« Numbers Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

The Pentateuch, traditionally designated as the 5 books of Moses,
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

4. Numbers, Chapters 1-36. The 4th book of Moses.
The name of this book originated from the two numberings of the people related in it: the first at Sinai in the second year of the Exodus and another on the plains of Moab opposite Jericho in the 40th year. A better title is the one given by the Hebrews themselves, Bemidhbar ("In the Wilderness"), for it describes the locale of the major events of the book. In all these events, the writer sees the guiding hand of God, sustaining, delivering, and keeping covenant with His people, as He prepares them for entrance into the land promised first to Abraham (Gen. 12:1ff).

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
