Synopsis
While its title refers to the two censuses taken in the wilderness, the Book of Numbers is really about the people of Israel being caught between the wonderful promises of God and the harsh realities of life as they wandered through the wilderness for thirty-eight years. In the book, the complex story of Israel's unfaithfulness and rebellion is set against the backdrop of God’s faithfulness and patience. How will the
people react to the challenging circumstances right before their eyes? And how will they respond to God's discipline? Behind all the hardships and grumblings lie God's ultimate intent to “humble and test” the people, and through this, to refine their faith in Him (Deuteronomy 8:2-5).
