This passage-by-passage commentary incorporates charts and a simple outline in its exposition of an important Old Testament book. The events of Numbers form the story of the Israelites traveling from Mount Sinai to the border of the Promised Land. Sometimes called ''the book of journeyings'' or ''the book of murmurings,'' Numbers contains many significant lessons for God''s people today. Dr. Jensen points out many pertinent applications of these lessons in this study, as well as explaining the history of the Israelites.
"Its arrangement is commendable—it could serve as a marvelous guide for home study of the Bible or for group study. The outline before each section is well chosen and interwoven in the body of the material." — Derward W. Deere, Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary
