Bible Survey Lesson 8: NUMBERS 1-19

The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Bible, detailing the Israelites’ journey from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land over nearly forty years. It includes two censuses of the people, laws for their community, and accounts of their rebellions against God, highlighting themes of obedience, faithfulness, and God’s mercy.
