Numbers | Complete | Audio Bible (CEV)

The Book of Numbers, the fourth book of the Bible, is a continuation of the narrative that began in Exodus. Comprising 36 chapters, Numbers explores the experiences of the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness, from Mount Sinai to the borders of the Promised Land. The book derives its name from the various censuses and numerical data recorded within its chapters.
The narrative of Numbers begins with the census of the Israelite community, emphasizing God's command to count the people and organize them into tribes and families. The Levites are set apart for service in the Tabernacle, and specific duties are assigned to each tribe during their travels.
The book includes episodes of murmuring and disobedience among the Israelites, leading to divine judgments. Notable events include the rebellion of Korah and his followers, the sending of the twelve spies into the Promised Land, and the subsequent forty years of wandering in the wilderness due to the lack of faith and disobedience.
Numbers provides regulations for offerings, sacrifices, and the consecration of the Levites. The laws regarding the Nazirite vow and the procedures for determining guilt or innocence in cases of suspected infidelity are also outlined.
The latter part of Numbers recounts various episodes during the Israelites' wilderness journey, including encounters with neighbouring nations such as Edom and Moab. The victories over the kings of Sihon and Og, the defeat of the prophet Balaam's attempts to curse the Israelites, and the settlement of the tribes east of the Jordan River are detailed.
The book concludes with preparations for entering the Promised Land and the second census of the new generation of Israelites.
While Numbers may be characterized by its focus on numerical data, it also presents themes of faith, obedience, divine judgment, and the importance of relying on God's guidance. The experiences of the Israelites in the wilderness serve as a backdrop for spiritual lessons and insights into the challenges of the human condition.
