Numbers 1 to 20 by B. LevineCall Number: BS1263 .L4
Publication Date: 1993
The Book of Numbers--from the numbering or census of the people in the opening chapters--is a much-neglected part of the Torah which constitutes the heart of Holy Scriptures for Jews, while also forming an integral part of the Bible for Christians. Numbers is a book filled with power struggles, raising questions about who speaks for God, along with personal and communal crises of faith and rumors of revolt. Yet despite the people's blindness and rebelliousness, God remains faithful to the promises made to Israel's ancestors--Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and now Moses--and remains at Israel's side, guiding her slowly but surely to the Promised Land.
