NUMBERS: the book of WANDERING AND WASTED YEARS

The title “Numbers” comes from two “numberings” censuses taken (Chps. 1, 26).

Numbers begins where Exodus ends, at the base of Mt. Sinai. The events in Numbers cover almost 40 years. Numbers reveals the consequences of unbelief. An entire generation of rebellious unbelievers died in the desert. This has been called “The Book of Murmuring.” The people often murmured against God and His servant Moses.

Numbers tells how an 11-day journey turned into a 40-year death march.
