Numbers

Old Testament · Law (Torah) · 36 chapters

Quick answer

Israel's wilderness journey — a generation's unbelief, God's patience, and the road toward the promised land.

Numbers (from two censuses) follows Israel from Sinai toward Canaan. A story of grumbling and judgment, it is also a story of God's persistent faithfulness to keep his promise despite his people.
