About Numbers

Numbers follows Israel through forty years in the wilderness between Mount Sinai and the edge of the promised land. It takes its name from the two censuses of the people, and it records their repeated complaints and rebellions — including the refusal to enter Canaan — alongside God's continued faithfulness.
