The Book of Numbers displays how God takes care of His people even when they disobey Him.
Numbers means census, counting.
The Book is about Israel wandering in the wilderness covering a span of approximately forty years. It is known as the Roll Call, The March, but also as the Book of Murmerings. The message is the patience of God while there is great failure on the part of humankind to walk His ways. The Divine discipline transforms a nation of slaves into a worshipping obedient generation. The Book emphasises the faithfulness of a covenant keeping God.
