Overview

Numbers employs several genres to describe the formidable challenges of Israel after the Exodus. The journey towards the promised land is filled with dangers and adventures. Both internal and external threats hamper the realization of God's promises. The wilderness becomes the ultimate testing ground for Israel's faith and obedience to Yahweh who always proves Himself faithful. However, people struggle to reciprocate divine affections. A generation of Exodus participants perish enroute. Prominent themes of the epic sojourn include the providence and guidance of Yahweh, prophecy and prophetic leadership, worship, the Spirit of God, conflict, testing, judgment, healing, blessing, and cursing. Although ancient literature, Numbers features the impeccable prophetic leadership of Moses who has much to teach contemporary leaders about shepherding God's people during chaotic times.
