Description
"The Bible, King James version, Book 4: Numbers" by Anonymous is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible, with its final form possibly dating to the fifth century BC. It chronicles the Israelites' journey from Mount Sinai toward the Promised Land of Canaan. After receiving God's laws, the people are counted and preparations made for their march. But complaints, rebellion, and a crisis of faith lead to divine judgment: an entire generation is condemned to wander the wilderness for forty years. Only their children will enter the land flowing with milk and honey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
