The Book of Numbers comes nest in our journey through the Bible.
The title comes from the two numberings of the children of Israel
during the 38 years of the wilderness wanderings. It also
records
their failure to go in and possess the land God was giving them and
the various places where they camped on this journey. Throughout
the accounts God continues to reveal Himself and His patience with
His stubborn and rebellious people. The two census that God
commanded be taken of His people indicate to us that every person
counts before God (pun intended). He takes note of all !
