The people of Israel and the Levites who were called out as the Church in the wilderness. The Book of Numbers is an accounting of the people beginning this process of becoming a peculiar people as they organize themselves in patterns of Tens as Christ commanded His disciples to require of the people for the practice of Pure Religion which may set the captive free according to the perfect law of liberty. In the early day they lived in tents or tabernacles[1] but what they were learning is a timeless skill that comes with the seeking of the kingdom of God and His righteousness.


The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah written by Moses. The book has a long and complex history as Israel moved in and out of captivity and apostasy.

Many do hold on to a Mosaic authorship view even though many scholars suggest that Moses was not the original author. There are those who accept that Moses was the sole author for at least the reason that many Jewish and Christian sources including Philo and Josephus as well as different parts of the Talmud assume Mosaic authorship.

Again because of the metaphors and allegories of Moses through sophistry there was not a great need to alter the original text so much of the message of Moses remains intact to help people with their unbelief if they depend upon the same Holy Spirit when reading the scripture that guided Moses in the writing of the original text.

There is an accounting of the people but not for the purpose David counted the people.

As Israelites begins the journey there is a "grumbling" at the hardships along the way and when they arrive at the borders of Canaan and send spies into the land the reports very concerning the conditions in Canaan.

there are those Israelites refuse to move forward to posses the land because they lack the faith in the power of God's system of self government. Because of this lack of faith many will suffer death in the wilderness before a new generation can grow to carry out the task of bring the way of God into the land.

There will also be those who rebel against Moses which leads to approximately 15,000 being destroyed in numerous ways.

Finally a new generation of Israelites in the "plains of Moab" are ready for the crossing of the Jordan River.

Numbers is is an accounting of the removal of Egypt and its leaven from the collective thoughts of Israel. That oppression in Egypt and their journey to liberty and dominion of land which God promised their fathers can only be understood if we truly understand why they were counted a peculiar people.

We need to correctly identify the themes introduced in Genesis and which are demonstrated in Exodus and Leviticus.

God's promised those who are true Israelites and walk obediently in the way of faith would become a great nation. The Way still applies today if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. The importance of holiness, faithfulness and trust The Way, the purpose and practices of Altars of Clay and stone in faith will allow people to become a new generation seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
