Numbers

Numbers derives its name from the record of two numberings of the Israelitish host (chs. 1 and 26), being called in the Greek version Arithmoi, and in the Vulgate, Numeri. More accurate is the Hebrew title, Bemidbar("In the Desert"). The first part of the book concludes the divine record of the experiences at Sinai and thus points back to Exodus. The major part of Numbers recounts the years of wandering, from the time that Israel departed from Sinai until, as a new generation, they reach the Jordan River. Redeemed from Egypt, possessing the law, led by Moses, daily looking upon the Tabernacle, and supernaturally guided by cloud and pillar of fire, Israel should have walked triumphantly in the perfect will of God. Instead they failed repeatedly, as this book records. As in Israel each person had his definitely assigned place and task for the welfare of the whole nation, so in the Church each member of the body of Christ has his particular place and function "so that the body of Christ may be built up".
