Numbers
The Book of Numbers chronicles the forty years of wandering by the Israelites in the vast, unforgiving wilderness after they departed from Mount Sinai. Named for the two censuses taken of the people, the book highlights the constant challenges and the people's repeated rebellion against God’s leadership, including major incidents like the refusal to enter the Promised Land based on the negative report of the spies.

The book concludes as the new generation prepares to finally enter the land of Canaan.
