For
the past several weeks we have been wading through the book of Numbers,
characterized as the Book with the theme the Numbering of the Jewish Nation;
but the book concerns a lot more; for much of the Book deals with the order of
the hosts of Israel, years of wandering and conquests, the offerings both in
terms of form and contents, the demarcation of the boundaries of the land of
possession, the land of Canaan and Gilead, the division of the inheritance by
families, the establishment of the Cities of Refuge, the differentiation
between culpable and excusable homicide, the establishment of the office of
Avenger of Death, and much more, as well
the two numberings that took place while God was preparing Moses to enter into
rest with his fathers.
Also
this book highlights one of the greatest Messianic prophecies in the entire
Bible, namely: “I shall see him but not now, I shall behold him but not nigh;
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Seth.”
