Bible Question:
explain Numbers to me |
Bible Answer: Hello Joseph, Your question is extremely broad and probably beyond the time and space of this Forum. Could you be more specific? My next question is: Have you read the Book of Numbers? The ESV Introduction says, "The English title “Numbers” comes from the two censuses that are central features of this book. However the Hebrew title, “In the Wilderness,” is more descriptive of the book. Numbers tells how God’s people traveled from Mount Sinai to the border of the Promised Land. But when they refused to take possession of the Land, God made them wander in the wilderness for nearly forty years. Throughout the book, God is seen as a holy God who cannot ignore rebellion or unbelief, but also as the one who faithfully keeps his covenant and patiently provides for the needs of his people. Numbers ends with a new generation preparing for the conquest of Canaan. Traditionally, Jews and Christians recognize Moses as the author, writing during the final year of his life." [The Holy Bible : English Standard Version., Nu] I hope this helps, BradK |
