Summary Numbers
is the fourth book of the Pentateuch. It is a historical book, whose name refers
to the two censuses which were taken to number the people. However, it was known
to the Jewish people as "In the Wilderness", because it primarily tells of the
rebellion of the Israelites in the desert where they wandered after the Exodus
from their slavery in Egypt. Because of this rebellion, only 2 men of the adults
leaving Egypt were to enter into the land of Canaan promised to Abraham in Genesis.
The rest died in the desert. The book covers a 38 year period.
