Numbers, Book Of Numbers is the fourth book in the Hebrew Bible and is part of the Torah. It recounts the historic events of Israel’s experience with her God, Yahweh, from her time at Mount Sinai until her arrival at the plains of Moab. The purpose of the book is both theological and practical. Theologically it brings focus to Yahweh’s love for Israel and His patient adherence to the Sinaitic covenant and the promise that His covenant people would indeed inherit the promised land. Practically, it sets many of the patterns of worship and behavior that would be necessary when they inhabited the promised land. More specifically, it provides historic examples of the consequences for unfaithfulness and ungratefulness for Yahweh’s provision for them.
