I don’t think y’all (the creators) realize what a great tool this is to believers and non believers! Thank you guys! I pray God will continue to guide y’all to Him and Bless you.
I love the story of Balaam. This shows that even in the midst of struggle, God is working behind the scenes preparing a way for us and sending blessings our way and already has a way out for us in our wilderness.
@@arulsammymankondar30 The deaths are suicides and a chain reaction from improper medical care and the like. COVID-19 is a psyop, a plandemic, an economic re-set.
This story reminds me of the many times I was complaining about my life while God was blessing me without me knowing! It creates in us a grateful heart, and also a broken heart seeking for repentance.
The one thing I find sad about this story is the part about the snakes and God had Moses make a bronze snake to heal them. All they had to do was simply LOOK at the snake and be healed. Some people died because they wouldn't do something as simple as look at a bronze snake. Even today, all people have to do is accept Jesus, ask Him to forgive them of their sins, and they are Saved. People come up with every excuse and justification to not do something simple like accept Jesus. It's just so sad.
But what does it mean to accept? I don’t need a specific answer. For every person, it may differ. Also, to repent and accept should mean to live according to his teachings. Which can be hard to do. No one does it perfectly. So are there degrees of acceptance? What about partial repentance? Self deception?
It’s not just forgiveness, when you repent you have to change, you no longer sin willingly anymore. People love their sin so much that they don’t want Jesus. Because they wanna feed their flesh instead of their spirit. Christian does not mean accepting Jesus as your savior and move on and sin after praying, it means to live Christ like and strive to be perfect
@adrian Lecesne There is no partial acceptance. Accepting Jesus's forgiveness washes you clean of all your sins, past, present, and future. No one can live a perfect life before or after accepting Jesus. Once you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and ask Him to send His Holy Spirit to be with you, you will find that you don't want to sin as you did before. But salvation is not based on works. It is the act of believing Jesus is God in human form, believing He lives a perfect life, died even though He did not deserve death to take your place, Rose again, asking Him to forgive your sins, and asking His spirit to dwell with you. Please let me know if you have questions! I would love to talk with you.
Thank God for bringing me here today this bible project. I had prayed and asked God to help me this morning to be able to read and understand His Words, the Bible, and He answers my prayer this same day. This is exactly what i am looking for, to grasp the whole idea and key points of the Bible with visual illustrations... Thank you Bible Project team, you guys are amazing!

I completely agree with you. I think the Bible Project has met one of the world’s biggest needs-not only meeting it, but excelling in that pursuit. To show that the ENTIRE Bible, Old Testament included, is one, unified story. That the mosaic law and the OT isn’t something we disregard, but that it is valuable as well and contributes great truth about the character of God that is not contradictory with the NT. Showing typologies, themes, and the true strength of how great a work the divinely-written Bible really is.
This hit me hard: "God is faithful to His promises but will let His people walk away and face the consequences". There are promises God has given me that I still question and doubt even in this very moment. But I have the choice to either believe that He'll keep His word, or go my own way. I don't want to miss out. I've got to choose to believe Him, even when I don't see how it'll all come together.
Is that not the story of mankind and even God's people. Only a definitive turn to our Father's ways, with a faith in his power and the power of His spirit within us, can help us to keep covenant with Him, through the grace of Messiah as he has been faithful to keep it with us and even renew it, based on better promises through the blood of His son.
Because the all encompassing sin of REBELLION is in our DNA which we inherited from Adam and Eve. It will do battle with everyone of us till our last breath. We are only safe if we repeatedly choose to remain in Christ in continual surrender. Oh Lord help us is my plea.
reading the bible has always felt intimidating to me and I've often just flipped through to whatever page or book jumps out to me in that moment.. These videos have me feeling like a teenager again, staying up too late reading, telling myself I'll just read ONE more chapter because I am so pulled in by the story. Thank you to all who took part in creating this series, I'm EXCITED to follow along and learn more.
I totally feel this way too! I'm up late saying okay just one more, okay just oneeee more. And even when I'm awake early morning, I'll sometimes wake up and open to where I've left off. I no longer view it as intimidating, more so entertaining even if I get to parts where I'm confused. I'll keep you in my prayers Emalee that the Holy Spirit fills you with wisdom and understanding as you continue reading
There's another meta-symbol you left out (or will cover later). The story of Israel is a metaphor for the Christian life. We were in slavery (preconversion), God saved us from the power of Satan (Pharaoh), we were baptized and marked as God's people (Red Sea), we start out optimistic (Covenant at Mt Sinai), but we constantly rebel (Korah, snakes, etc), and make the journey tough on ourselves rather than trusting God (40 years). Life is not a cakewalk, it's a battle (Numbers). Satan opposes us and we struggle and battle, but through God we can have victory over our enemies (Joshua). Who are our enemies? "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms". Driving out the Canaanites is a metaphor for our battle against sin and evil.
and when I say that it's a metaphor, in no way am I undermining the historicity of those events and battles. I'm simply underscoring God's sovereignty and ability to weave a lesson for us Christians into biblical history. It shows us that God knew what would happen from the beginning, and knew the plan of salvation and what our Christian lives would be like.
Super Cool 762 Positionally, in God's eyes we have the righteousness of Christ. He does not count our sin against us, as if I had never sinned. But we still fight to claim the promises of God for our lives, to drive out sin in our lives, which is the parallel that the book of Joshua gives us. Are you saying that true Christians never sin? The Bible says that "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8
I'm just amazed that Moses continuously supported the people despite their disobedience and ungratefulness. If it was me, I'd be like, "So be it, go back to Eygypt, eat dirt and be killed by soldiers."
BibleProject creates free resources to help you experience the Bible. Everything we make is funded by generous supporters around the world. You can see our entire video library, check out our other resources, and give at bibleproject.com. Video correction: At 6:05 we wrote Hebrews 4-5 but the reference is actually Hebrews 3-4.
COERECTION:At approx runtime 4:50... You guys also mistakenly refer to Balak as “Balaam”. In fact, you never actually mention“Balak” by name at all; only Balaam.
A statistical impossibility is defined as *_“a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument."_* (*The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80.) The probability of a functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more *Rational and Reasonable* to conclude that the cell was not formed by undirected random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that undirected random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.) A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what many of the world’s top scientists _‘must’_ believe in and promote because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, narrow, limiting, materialistic ideology / worldview. Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material". The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic subjective ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millenia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by discoveries in Quantum Physics.
I LOVE this entire series. As a pastor I'm using a video each week in a Bible survey class I'm teaching. The completeness and accuracy without doctrinal commentary is outstanding.
I always love & never skip all the Bible Project videos from the start. Just wanna say how blessed I am & how much I have grown being able to have own bible study & understand the scripture more. Thank God for all of u Bible Project team. And oh... actually, if I may, I just wanna say that it would be beautiful if you could draw the arrangement of the tent like a cross... because if you follow the numbers stated for each tribe, the right proportion is forming a cross! It's beautiful to have found the Gospel or the plan of salvation was pictured there. God is awesome! ;)
Just in case anyone missed it. The arrangement of the camp actually forms a "cross". The eastern side has the most population of 180,000 which is the longer foot of the cross. While the western side has the least population of 100,000, thus the shorter end of the cross. The north and south camps are in identical population of 150,000 thus forming the two equal sides. So the shape is more of a traditional cross (✝) which is unlike the one showed in the video with symmetrical lengths (✚)
Thank you Bible Project for this amazing condensation of the book of Numbers. I've been trying to read the entire Bible, starting from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and now Numbers. The first five books have been known to be very dry, but thank God for The Bible Project. Thank you for honoring God and allowing people like us to learn more about the Bible so that we can honor Him too. Q
If I'm correct, it actually looks even more like a cross than what is drawn. Yes, they were arranged that way, but due to the number of people in each tribe, the "bars" aren't all equally sized. If I remember correctly, two of the bars opposite to each other were the same length. One of the other two bars was longer than the rest, while the last one was shorter than the rest. Though keep in mind this comes second hand and I haven't checked this for myself quite yet.
That’s why we should stay rereading Gods word. It helps to go back to read these stories, so we know how to handle our situations now & how important it is to be obedient.
Thank you, this helps me very much. I am reading the Old Testament of the Bible at the moment. After I finished reading each book of the Old Testament. I come to your channel and watch the videos explaining like this one. This helps me way understand what I just read accurately. God bless you, and thank you for doing this to help us followers/believers understand.
First, you guys are doing a GREAT job. I love these videos and I am so thankful for the challenge to read the Bible through this year. This is changing my life. Second, I just finished Numbers 16, and I wish you guys could have put in that scene where Aaron stood between the people and the plague. What an awesome picture of Christ! Our high priest standing between us and our own DESERVED death! I pictured it it my mind, but I wish I had a drawing of that hang on my wall. I can just picture Aaron with his arm outstretched, a huge pile of the dead in front of him, and a great crowd of the rest of the people cowering behind him, praying that God will listen to the plea of our high priest and spare them.
A very accurate summary of numbers. It doesn't replace listening or reading the book for yourself , but it does surely summarize it for those who cannot grasp the overall meaning of this chapter. Thank you brother for staying on course and not adding things that were not there!>
DeeM cSweeney not too accurate. They fail to mention the story of the talking donkey (which is the best part imo), fail to mention the racism with Aaron and Miriam against Moses new wife and fail to mention the correct reason for why Moses wasn't allowed in the promised land.
I love these overview videos and how he ties everything together. The jews make God look like a jerk when in reality it is the other way around! What a breath of fresh air here! Ty sir!
ISAIAH 4 - NUMBERS “Then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shinning of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.” (Isaiah 4:5) WORDS BY: FATHER "Isn’t it interesting how Numbers 9:16 correlates with Isaiah 4:5? The two verses speak about My presence filling the tabernacle in the midst of the assemblies. This presence was the very covering over My people. It was not just a sign to the foreign nations that they belonged to Me, but a sign to the darkness in the spiritual realm. Do not be mistaken by thinking that Israel went out to war against nations alone. What possesses a nation to war against another is a spirit. Therefore, when Israel fought against nations they were dealing with spirits in the heavenly places; and the spirits knew I was with them because they carried My presence. This is the importance of staying close to Me and under My covering. The enemy shall know who you are and who is with you. This covering is the blessing of being in My will. The danger many Christians face is when they walk away from My covering like Korah did, and it is done more than people realise. Anything done independent from My will is a form of walking out of My covering. You open yourself up to darkness and the enemy no longer recognizes that you are protected by Me. He then has a right to attack you because you chose independence instead of life. Where is My blessing in doing your own thing without My consideration? Therefore, challenge yourself to stay in My will. Each time you want to do something consider this, “Am I in My Lord’s will?” or “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then and only then will you experience My full covering along with My blessing."
This is incredible! I have always wanted to get into the comic book scene and the black and white BibleProject shorts are amazing. I've already downloaded every book and am trying to figure out how to save them all and keep them somewhere safe to share with others. Thank you to whoever made these shorts. You have a gift.
God is working, even if we don’t see it. That’s an encouragement. Thanks for another great video! I’ve watched this three times as I’ve walked through the Bible every year. Your videos remind me as I start a new book what it’s all about and the overarching picture that fits into the big story of the Bible.
I'm glad we found this channel, simplifies so many things but.. we still need to get to our Bibles.. especially now with a better understanding, we still need to read, study and meditate on the Word, for it is the Spirit of God, and He brings life.
This provides great knowledge about Numbers. I am currently doing the Bible in a year reading plan and this knowledge is very helpful as I continue reading.
I so appreciate this! At the beginning of the year o decided to read the Bible on chronological order. Leviticus and numbers have been tough to get through and I wonder at the end how to put it together. Thank so much! God bless!!
4:46 - I like how Balaam's donkey was subtly drawn in. Love the attention to detail you guys do with your videos. I've watched this video several times and I just noticed it
Only by watching these overviews i've come to learn the deep connection of Exodus to Levitucs and Levitcus to Numbers. God Bless you and your ministry.
Also, the final seconds of each video in these series make for great wallpapers or pages in a picture book. Will a book eventually be made from these series, or are there wallpapers for sale?
Another great video! I don't find the bronze snake weird at all. I think it's to contrast the use/misuse of statues and idols. The 10 commandments don't say don't make statues but rather don't make statues and worship them as gods - it's a violation in that we put things (objects) before God. But the bronze snake is different. It is not made to be worshiped as a god but to remind us to worship God himself when we look at it, and it is made to remind us of God's promises to us and our desire to love and serve Him and only Him. Healing that comes from looking at it does not come from the statue itself but from God through the statue because by looking at it for healing, we are essentially telling God that we believe His promises to us and that we have faith.
I agree! In fact, I consider the bronze serpent a type of Christ, who in His mortal life dispensed true doctrine & judgement against the wicked but was eventually *lifted up* on the cross so that those who look to Him will be saved.
+Angela Hoffman it's definitely one of the figures of the Christ in the OT, and Jesus Himself made this connection in John 3:14. problem with these images is that even though they are not made to be worshipped, men is so wicked that he'll turn it into a religion and make rites out of everything... just like they did with the brass snake and even gave it a name, Nehushtan. it had to be destroyed (2 Kings 18:4). kinda reminds me of the signal of the cross used today as a superstitious amulet and many other so-called religious practices.
Thank you so much for this! I am seeing God's work every day through these videos, and in life! Thank you! Right after watching this, on KLove, the people started talking about the ten spies and Caleb and Joshua!
I'm guessing the book doesn't want to jump too further into the future, but doesn't the bronze serpent lifted up symbolize the Christ lifted up on the cross, upon whom if anyone looks to him for salvation, will be saved?
Thank you to all the folks at Bible Project! This is one of the most helpful resources I've found for understanding the more complicated books of the Word. Keep up the good work! God bless y'all!
Also, interpreting Moses striking the rock twice as stealing God's glory is valid, but the reading I favor is that he messed up an intended foreshadowing of Christ - Jesus only needed to be struck (killed) once to save humanity, but by striking the rock twice Moses muddied that powerful imagery.
Numbers is actually one of my favorite books to read, this video breaks it down perfectly. Is there a reason that you don't go into the talking donkey story in this video or your other one?
The talking donkey, the over abundance of quail, God burning folks up because of their numerous complaints 😂 it’s a lot they didn’t mention. This book is so slept on.
but they do talk about Balaam, who rode the talking donkey! the donkey wasnt the main event there! neither was the warrior angel in the road who was about to smite Balaam. it was about the blessing of Israel and God's protection of them behind the scenes.
I've just found this and WOW!!! It has really helped me while doing a read through of the entire Bible. This is great. Thank you to whoever did this. It's easy for me & children love it too.
What's amazing about this book is how it shows that through the transgressions of the Israelites and their judgment and forgiveness, God is informing us and them that they deserve punishment for their sins, but that God shows mercy to them and frees them from the punishment of their sins if they look up to him. It's the story of Jesus. We deserve punishment for our sins but God's mercy gives us a way out of the punishment we deserve, because Jesus took the punishment. All we have to do to have our mercy is believe in Christ. Believe in God. Praise God! Beautiful!
Thank you for being so open to doing these detailed videos. God has called you/this company in this time/season. You have blessed me and so many others
The Caduceus, a Greek symbol, is the same snake on a stick, likely taken from Phoenecian encounters with the Hebrews. Hermes, the Greek god of doctors and travelers, weilds a caduceus.
This is such an awesome project!! It really helps to put things together and it’s so helpful to see before and after reading the chapter. So exciting and interesting to learn who our God is
What I always find weird about the promised land is that the Israelites had to kill the other tribes to make it their own land. Why did they had to kill? When it is forbidden to murder? What is your look at this, I find it really hard. It makes God look not loving at all.
+Dave the Assassin the people inhabiting Canaan were Nephilim hybrids (Fallen Angel offspring) they weren't "human" just like the rulers of this world aren't human Numbers 13:33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." the descendants of Anak = the Annunaki
Correction!!!! God got mad at Moses because he was supposed to talk to the rock not hit it with the rod. God said nothing about him putting himself in God's place that's what Jehovah Witnesses believe.
Thank you for these videos and the posters on your site! What a blessing! The LORD bless and guard you all at Bible Project. HalleluYAH! Lots of love and Shalom from the UNITED Kingdom
Good question. No one ever seems to talk about the Levites slaughtering other Hebrews at Sinai, or being swallowed up in turn for rebellion in numbers. Everyone is so fixated on the Gospel that they neglect the underlying narrative. I really like the Balak and Balaam story because we don’t hear enough about what the Other peoples thought and felt. I want to find a good resource on the Egyptians after Exodus, but it seems that they just didn’t write about it. Maybe it was a period of dynastic decline and instability, or an embarrassment, but to think that the formative event the making of the Hebrew people isn’t a ping on Egypt’s radar.
3:39 - I never thought of that, nor heard anyone put it that way. Usually I hear preachers/teachers say that Moses didn't get to go into the promise land because he hit the rock when God told him to speak to the rock. But I suppose in a deeper sense, by not following God's will and following our own, we are essentially putting ourselves in God's place. So whether it was that Moses saying "must we bring out the water", or if it was him hitting the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed, both acts are essentially him putting himself in God's place. Moses not only did it by action, but by his tongue.
Thank you so much for producing these videos. They are really helpful in understanding the Bible. I am so thankful I found my way to your sight. Praise God.
I can't wait to share this video with my upper elementary Sunday School class this morning. We're finishing up our "journey" through the book of Numbers.
Thank God for blessing you both with knowledge of his word to give to us in summary as we read each book thank you God bless you better understanding to his word Praise God
As a Muslim I find the contents of this book to be pretty interesting. How God's presence was at the very center of the 12 tribes. Now, God's presence is at the holy Kaaba - the center of pure monotheistic worship. Muslims from all around the world pray in that direction. And also the part about Israel carrying God's blessings - now, God's good pleasure and blessings is in His final messenger. This is why 'Muhammad' is the most honored name in the world. Now God's barakah is with the Quran and anyone who follows it.
As a Christian we are God's temple so we don't have to go to a stone to be in the presence of God because God lives in us and we can speak with him wherever and he speaks back to us ❤✝️
Just finished the book, i find it hard to read through a book in the bible because im trying ao hard to understand whats going on while trying to take in all the knowledge but these videos make it easier for me to enjoy the process so thank you for your work! God bless ✝️
I think it's so cool how the bronze serpent was a symbol of Christ: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. John 3:14-15
Just a couple of cool notes I've picked up that he didn't mention - 1 - The arrangement of the Israelite camp looked a little more like a cross. 2 - The bronze serpent was representative of Jesus becoming sin on the cross, that's why it was a serpent.
I just made the connection of the 10 bad scouts and the 2 faithful ones. When Isreal split into the Northern and Southern tribes before the Babylonian exile, the South comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. They were the only ones to survive past it due to the other 10 being conquered by the Assyrians. Man the Good Lord is subtle but effective ag foreshadowing.
This is so great. I just finished reading Numbers over the course of a few weeks. So this is really nice to refresh with all that I've learned in a quick summary. GREAT work Bible Project
Hi ! I LOVE the way you guys Draw. Every character, Every expression perfect. I used to draw everything & anything from 5 yrs old to my 20s, then I quit for 30 yrs. Never picked it back up. & I'm kicking myself for that. Anyways Thank You & God Bless !.
Not only does the story of Balaam show Gods faithfulness behind the scenes in the midst of chaos, but it shows the Holy Spirit speaking THROUGH Balaam. ”By now Balaam realized that the Lord was determined to bless Israel, so he did not resort to divination as before. Instead, he turned and looked out toward the wilderness, where he saw the people of Israel camped, tribe by tribe. Then the Spirit of God came upon him,“ Numbers 24:1-2 NLT Just goes to show that when you have a consistent relationship with God, seeking him everyday & living righteously , we too can naturally have the Holy Spirit speak through us as well.
if youre here because you are trying to understand and read the whole bible. keep going!!! God is so happy in what you are doing! :)
Iam just about to finish the book of numbers in the old testament and the book of Luke in New testament.
finished New Testament and started Old Testament. Now done with deuteronomy

Balaam's donkey, like all donkeys, is the humblest of creatures and has a cross on his back. God is good!
Your observation lifted my spirits today, as we are witnessing the second surge of Covid-19 and deaths.
@@arulsammymankondar30 The deaths are suicides and a chain reaction from improper medical care and the like. COVID-19 is a psyop, a plandemic, an economic re-set.
This story reminds me of the many times I was complaining about my life while God was blessing me without me knowing! It creates in us a grateful heart, and also a broken heart seeking for repentance.
The one thing I find sad about this story is the part about the snakes and God had Moses make a bronze snake to heal them. All they had to do was simply LOOK at the snake and be healed. Some people died because they wouldn't do something as simple as look at a bronze snake. Even today, all people have to do is accept Jesus, ask Him to forgive them of their sins, and they are Saved. People come up with every excuse and justification to not do something simple like accept Jesus. It's just so sad.
Whoa :(
Perfectly referenced in John 3:14. BIG whoa :O
But what does it mean to accept? I don’t need a specific answer. For every person, it may differ.
Also, to repent and accept should mean to live according to his teachings. Which can be hard to do. No one does it perfectly. So are there degrees of acceptance? What about partial repentance? Self deception?
It’s not just forgiveness, when you repent you have to change, you no longer sin willingly anymore. People love their sin so much that they don’t want Jesus. Because they wanna feed their flesh instead of their spirit. Christian does not mean accepting Jesus as your savior and move on and sin after praying, it means to live Christ like and strive to be perfect
@adrian Lecesne There is no partial acceptance. Accepting Jesus's forgiveness washes you clean of all your sins, past, present, and future. No one can live a perfect life before or after accepting Jesus. Once you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and ask Him to send His Holy Spirit to be with you, you will find that you don't want to sin as you did before. But salvation is not based on works. It is the act of believing Jesus is God in human form, believing He lives a perfect life, died even though He did not deserve death to take your place, Rose again, asking Him to forgive your sins, and asking His spirit to dwell with you. Please let me know if you have questions! I would love to talk with you.
man numbers really highlights humanities natural brattiness. we don’t deserve anything but God is so gracious and giving

This hit me hard: "God is faithful to His promises but will let His people walk away and face the consequences". There are promises God has given me that I still question and doubt even in this very moment. But I have the choice to either believe that He'll keep His word, or go my own way. I don't want to miss out. I've got to choose to believe Him, even when I don't see how it'll all come together.
Just because a person who is saved by believing is free from the penalty of sin(Hell), doesn’t mean they will escape earthly consequences.

"where things go terribly wrong" seems to be the catch phrase in every video so far.

Only a definitive turn to our Father's ways, with a faith in his power and the power of His spirit within us, can help us to keep covenant with Him, through the grace of Messiah as he has been faithful to keep it with us and even renew it, based on better promises through the blood of His son.

Because the all encompassing sin of REBELLION is in our DNA which we inherited from Adam and Eve. It will do battle with everyone of us till our last breath. We are only safe if we repeatedly choose to remain in Christ in continual surrender. Oh Lord help us is my plea.
Oh how often things go terribly wrong
reading the bible has always felt intimidating to me and I've often just flipped through to whatever page or book jumps out to me in that moment.. These videos have me feeling like a teenager again, staying up too late reading, telling myself I'll just read ONE more chapter because I am so pulled in by the story. Thank you to all who took part in creating this series, I'm EXCITED to follow along and learn more.
I totally feel this way too! I'm up late saying okay just one more, okay just oneeee more. And even when I'm awake early morning, I'll sometimes wake up and open to where I've left off. I no longer view it as intimidating, more so entertaining even if I get to parts where I'm confused. I'll keep you in my prayers Emalee that the Holy Spirit fills you with wisdom and understanding as you continue reading
There's another meta-symbol you left out (or will cover later). The story of Israel is a metaphor for the Christian life. We were in slavery (preconversion), God saved us from the power of Satan (Pharaoh), we were baptized and marked as God's people (Red Sea), we start out optimistic (Covenant at Mt Sinai), but we constantly rebel (Korah, snakes, etc), and make the journey tough on ourselves rather than trusting God (40 years). Life is not a cakewalk, it's a battle (Numbers). Satan opposes us and we struggle and battle, but through God we can have victory over our enemies (Joshua). Who are our enemies? "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms". Driving out the Canaanites is a metaphor for our battle against sin and evil.
great observation
I LIKE THIS
and when I say that it's a metaphor, in no way am I undermining the historicity of those events and battles. I'm simply underscoring God's sovereignty and ability to weave a lesson for us Christians into biblical history. It shows us that God knew what would happen from the beginning, and knew the plan of salvation and what our Christian lives would be like.
Super Cool 762 Positionally, in God's eyes we have the righteousness of Christ. He does not count our sin against us, as if I had never sinned. But we still fight to claim the promises of God for our lives, to drive out sin in our lives, which is the parallel that the book of Joshua gives us. Are you saying that true Christians never sin? The Bible says that "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8
I'm just amazed that Moses continuously supported the people despite their disobedience and ungratefulness. If it was me, I'd be like, "So be it, go back to Eygypt, eat dirt and be killed by soldiers."

Video correction: At 6:05 we wrote Hebrews 4-5 but the reference is actually Hebrews 3-4.
What do you think of the book of Enoch? Is it with the Bible?
COERECTION:At approx runtime 4:50...
You guys also mistakenly refer to Balak as “Balaam”. In fact, you never actually mention“Balak” by name at all; only Balaam.
A statistical impossibility is defined as *_“a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument."_* (*The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80.) The probability of a functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more *Rational and Reasonable* to conclude that the cell was not formed by undirected random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that undirected random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.)
A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what many of the world’s top scientists _‘must’_ believe in and promote because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, narrow, limiting, materialistic ideology / worldview.
Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material". The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic subjective ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millenia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by discoveries in Quantum Physics.

@ranman gamer then why didn't God take it out of the Ethiopian Bible.
I LOVE this entire series. As a pastor I'm using a video each week in a Bible survey class I'm teaching. The completeness and accuracy without doctrinal commentary is outstanding.
for the most part.....according to above comments....
I've always struggled when reading the Bible. This is Heaven sent. Thank you. The Bible Project puts everything into perspective
I always love & never skip all the Bible Project videos from the start. Just wanna say how blessed I am & how much I have grown being able to have own bible study & understand the scripture more. Thank God for all of u Bible Project team.
And oh... actually, if I may, I just wanna say that it would be beautiful if you could draw the arrangement of the tent like a cross... because if you follow the numbers stated for each tribe, the right proportion is forming a cross! It's beautiful to have found the Gospel or the plan of salvation was pictured there. God is awesome! ;)
don't know how many times i've seen this video, but I just realized how they make Moses look older at each stage. Great stuff! you guys are awesome!
Just in case anyone missed it. The arrangement of the camp actually forms a "cross".
The eastern side has the most population of 180,000 which is the longer foot of the cross. While the western side has the least population of 100,000, thus the shorter end of the cross. The north and south camps are in identical population of 150,000 thus forming the two equal sides.
So the shape is more of a traditional cross (✝) which is unlike the one showed in the video with symmetrical lengths (✚)
the cross brainwash me ! i am brainwashed by the white light cross !
Good eye
No it doesn’t. It forms a +. The cross is a pagan symbol. Yashuah was hung on a tree.
@@HiSadittyKiddy no. He was crucified on a Roman cross. remember that it was designed to punish Him.
Funny separate but equal huh? Or males surrounded the weakest inside.... moved in formation defensive
Thank you Bible Project for this amazing condensation of the book of Numbers.
I've been trying to read the entire Bible, starting from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and now Numbers. The first five books have been known to be very dry, but thank God for The Bible Project. Thank you for honoring God and allowing people like us to learn more about the Bible so that we can honor Him too.
Q
I love how the camp looks like a cross
If I'm correct, it actually looks even more like a cross than what is drawn. Yes, they were arranged that way, but due to the number of people in each tribe, the "bars" aren't all equally sized. If I remember correctly, two of the bars opposite to each other were the same length. One of the other two bars was longer than the rest, while the last one was shorter than the rest.
Though keep in mind this comes second hand and I haven't checked this for myself quite yet.
Autofire is correct! It is a very large nod at Jesus’ cross of cruxification
Find Mr Chuck Missler teaching about this how GOD shows His plans that few only sees His Glory and Mercy
BROOOO
Me also, praise the Lord
That’s why we should stay rereading Gods word. It helps to go back to read these stories, so we know how to handle our situations now & how important it is to be obedient.
I am very proud to have been named after Caleb the spy, showing his trust in God and encouraging others to do the same
My brother and I were named after the spies Joshua and Caleb. I’m with a K though.
Thank you, this helps me very much. I am reading the Old Testament of the Bible at the moment. After I finished reading each book of the Old Testament. I come to your channel and watch the videos explaining like this one. This helps me way understand what I just read accurately. God bless you, and thank you for doing this to help us followers/believers understand.
First, you guys are doing a GREAT job. I love these videos and I am so thankful for the challenge to read the Bible through this year. This is changing my life.
Second, I just finished Numbers 16, and I wish you guys could have put in that scene where Aaron stood between the people and the plague. What an awesome picture of Christ! Our high priest standing between us and our own DESERVED death! I pictured it it my mind, but I wish I had a drawing of that hang on my wall. I can just picture Aaron with his arm outstretched, a huge pile of the dead in front of him, and a great crowd of the rest of the people cowering behind him, praying that God will listen to the plea of our high priest and spare them.
Thanks be to God for His faithfulness even in our rebellion and disobedience!
A very accurate summary of numbers. It doesn't replace listening or reading the book for yourself , but it does surely summarize it for those who cannot grasp the overall meaning of this chapter. Thank you brother for staying on course and not adding things that were not there!>
DeeM cSweeney not too accurate. They fail to mention the story of the talking donkey (which is the best part imo), fail to mention the racism with Aaron and Miriam against Moses new wife and fail to mention the correct reason for why Moses wasn't allowed in the promised land.
@@ashleycrystal9719 that is quite an omission....eh....
@@ashleycrystal9719 They did explain why moses was denied acess to the promised Land on 3:30

ISAIAH 4 - NUMBERS
“Then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shinning of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.” (Isaiah 4:5)
WORDS BY: FATHER
"Isn’t it interesting how Numbers 9:16 correlates with Isaiah 4:5? The two verses speak about My presence filling the tabernacle in the midst of the assemblies. This presence was the very covering over My people. It was not just a sign to the foreign nations that they belonged to Me, but a sign to the darkness in the spiritual realm. Do not be mistaken by thinking that Israel went out to war against nations alone. What possesses a nation to war against another is a spirit. Therefore, when Israel fought against nations they were dealing with spirits in the heavenly places; and the spirits knew I was with them because they carried My presence. This is the importance of staying close to Me and under My covering. The enemy shall know who you are and who is with you. This covering is the blessing of being in My will.
The danger many Christians face is when they walk away from My covering like Korah did, and it is done more than people realise. Anything done independent from My will is a form of walking out of My covering. You open yourself up to darkness and the enemy no longer recognizes that you are protected by Me. He then has a right to attack you because you chose independence instead of life. Where is My blessing in doing your own thing without My consideration? Therefore, challenge yourself to stay in My will. Each time you want to do something consider this, “Am I in My Lord’s will?” or “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then and only then will you experience My full covering along with My blessing."

This channel has been SO HELPFUL in my bible study. Thank you!
This is incredible! I have always wanted to get into the comic book scene and the black and white BibleProject shorts are amazing. I've already downloaded every book and am trying to figure out how to save them all and keep them somewhere safe to share with others. Thank you to whoever made these shorts. You have a gift.
God bless , a blessing for me to watch before I read my Bible🙏🙏🙏❤️🇦🇺
God is working, even if we don’t see it. That’s an encouragement. Thanks for another great video! I’ve watched this three times as I’ve walked through the Bible every year. Your videos remind me as I start a new book what it’s all about and the overarching picture that fits into the big story of the Bible.
I'm watching all of these videos for the sake of history. How am I just finding these out? You guys are amazing, thank your for these series!
I'm glad we found this channel, simplifies so many things but.. we still need to get to our Bibles.. especially now with a better understanding, we still need to read, study and meditate on the Word, for it is the Spirit of God, and He brings life.
Such an insightful video with great animations. God is using this channel wonderfully.
This provides great knowledge about Numbers. I am currently doing the Bible in a year reading plan and this knowledge is very helpful as I continue reading.
I so appreciate this! At the beginning of the year o decided to read the Bible on chronological order. Leviticus and numbers have been tough to get through and I wonder at the end how to put it together. Thank so much! God bless!!
Thank you for getting me excited to read Deuteronomy!
4:46 - I like how Balaam's donkey was subtly drawn in. Love the attention to detail you guys do with your videos. I've watched this video several times and I just noticed it

@@patrickphilip777 Omg 😭
Only by watching these overviews i've come to learn the deep connection of Exodus to Levitucs and Levitcus to Numbers. God Bless you and your ministry.
Also, the final seconds of each video in these series make for great wallpapers or pages in a picture book. Will a book eventually be made from these series, or are there wallpapers for sale?

***** there is something wrong with the website today.
Thank you Jesus for bringing me here today
Another great video! I don't find the bronze snake weird at all. I think it's to contrast the use/misuse of statues and idols. The 10 commandments don't say don't make statues but rather don't make statues and worship them as gods - it's a violation in that we put things (objects) before God. But the bronze snake is different. It is not made to be worshiped as a god but to remind us to worship God himself when we look at it, and it is made to remind us of God's promises to us and our desire to love and serve Him and only Him. Healing that comes from looking at it does not come from the statue itself but from God through the statue because by looking at it for healing, we are essentially telling God that we believe His promises to us and that we have faith.
I agree! In fact, I consider the bronze serpent a type of Christ, who in His mortal life dispensed true doctrine & judgement against the wicked but was eventually *lifted up* on the cross so that those who look to Him will be saved.
+Angela Hoffman it's definitely one of the figures of the Christ in the OT, and Jesus Himself made this connection in John 3:14. problem with these images is that even though they are not made to be worshipped, men is so wicked that he'll turn it into a religion and make rites out of everything... just like they did with the brass snake and even gave it a name, Nehushtan. it had to be destroyed (2 Kings 18:4). kinda reminds me of the signal of the cross used today as a superstitious amulet and many other so-called religious practices.
This is Soooo Soooo brilliant for children and adults. Beautiful voice and illustrations make the Bible so easy to understand and enjoy
can i just say your animation and intricate summarises of the books are so awesome...keep up the good work. You are very blessed. God bless.
The best hands down on the internet for explaining the bible!!
Thank you God please heal me ☺
jay- lord Praying for your healing!
Lord please heal jay
amen....
Thank you so much for this! I am seeing God's work every day through these videos, and in life! Thank you!
Right after watching this, on KLove, the people started talking about the ten spies and Caleb and Joshua!
I'm guessing the book doesn't want to jump too further into the future, but doesn't the bronze serpent lifted up symbolize the Christ lifted up on the cross, upon whom if anyone looks to him for salvation, will be saved?
Toonna Obi-Okoye yes Pastor Anderson said that too.
Ashley Crystal John 3:14
Jn 3.14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

*Keep'em comin' guys.*
*You're the best!!!!*
The fact that the Israelites' camp formed the shape of a cross is amazing!
Also, interpreting Moses striking the rock twice as stealing God's glory is valid, but the reading I favor is that he messed up an intended foreshadowing of Christ - Jesus only needed to be struck (killed) once to save humanity, but by striking the rock twice Moses muddied that powerful imagery.
Numbers is actually one of my favorite books to read, this video breaks it down perfectly. Is there a reason that you don't go into the talking donkey story in this video or your other one?
Kelly S probably for the sake of time
That's my favorite story of this book.
@@Ancipital_ Same. The donkey with the 20/20 vision always gets me.
The talking donkey, the over abundance of quail, God burning folks up because of their numerous complaints 😂 it’s a lot they didn’t mention. This book is so slept on.
but they do talk about Balaam, who rode the talking donkey! the donkey wasnt the main event there! neither was the warrior angel in the road who was about to smite Balaam. it was about the blessing of Israel and God's protection of them behind the scenes.
I've just found this and WOW!!! It has really helped me while doing a read through of the entire Bible. This is great. Thank you to whoever did this. It's easy for me & children love it too.
Great, great video
What's amazing about this book is how it shows that through the transgressions of the Israelites and their judgment and forgiveness, God is informing us and them that they deserve punishment for their sins, but that God shows mercy to them and frees them from the punishment of their sins if they look up to him.
It's the story of Jesus. We deserve punishment for our sins but God's mercy gives us a way out of the punishment we deserve, because Jesus took the punishment. All we have to do to have our mercy is believe in Christ. Believe in God.
Praise God! Beautiful!
Please make Daniel and Revelations. Thank you. God bless :)
Thank you for being so open to doing these detailed videos. God has called you/this company in this time/season. You have blessed me and so many others
Ah so that's the reason why so many of the Medical related things have a Bronze Snake on a pole.
Yeah but they started to worship it over God and God said scratch that take it down. 😂 When a symbol becomes an idol.
Thank you for sharing this that’s incredible!
The Caduceus, a Greek symbol, is the same snake on a stick, likely taken from Phoenecian encounters with the Hebrews. Hermes, the Greek god of doctors and travelers, weilds a caduceus.
This is such an awesome project!! It really helps to put things together and it’s so helpful to see before and after reading the chapter. So exciting and interesting to learn who our God is
What I always find weird about the promised land is that the Israelites had to kill the other tribes to make it their own land. Why did they had to kill? When it is forbidden to murder? What is your look at this, I find it really hard. It makes God look not loving at all.
it says "drive out" not kill.
Leah Clevett You think people were like: "Ok! Bye, have fun in this country" They were murdered..
+Dave the Assassin the people inhabiting Canaan were Nephilim hybrids (Fallen Angel offspring) they weren't "human" just like the rulers of this world aren't human
Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
the descendants of Anak = the Annunaki
+Dave the Assassin Well think about ISIS. would letting them prosper be called loving?

Thank you, The Bible Project, for this. Godbless!
Correction!!!! God got mad at Moses because he was supposed to talk to the rock not hit it with the rod. God said nothing about him putting himself in God's place that's what Jehovah Witnesses believe.

more than once you avoid the slaughter. why?
Good question. No one ever seems to talk about the Levites slaughtering other Hebrews at Sinai, or being swallowed up in turn for rebellion in numbers. Everyone is so fixated on the Gospel that they neglect the underlying narrative.
I really like the Balak and Balaam story because we don’t hear enough about what the Other peoples thought and felt.
I want to find a good resource on the Egyptians after Exodus, but it seems that they just didn’t write about it. Maybe it was a period of dynastic decline and instability, or an embarrassment, but to think that the formative event the making of the Hebrew people isn’t a ping on Egypt’s radar.
@@alecesne imagine loosing your whole army....someone should have made some note, of this....
Thank you for your love of God and us!
3:39 - I never thought of that, nor heard anyone put it that way.
Usually I hear preachers/teachers say that Moses didn't get to go into the promise land because he hit the rock when God told him to speak to the rock.
But I suppose in a deeper sense, by not following God's will and following our own, we are essentially putting ourselves in God's place. So whether it was that Moses saying "must we bring out the water", or if it was him hitting the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed, both acts are essentially him putting himself in God's place.
Moses not only did it by action, but by his tongue.
Mind Blowing* the power of the tongue

I can't wait to share this video with my upper elementary Sunday School class this morning. We're finishing up our "journey" through the book of Numbers.
Thank God for blessing you both with knowledge of his word to give to us in summary as we read each book thank you God bless you better understanding to his word Praise God
As a Muslim I find the contents of this book to be pretty interesting. How God's presence was at the very center of the 12 tribes. Now, God's presence is at the holy Kaaba - the center of pure monotheistic worship. Muslims from all around the world pray in that direction.
And also the part about Israel carrying God's blessings - now, God's good pleasure and blessings is in His final messenger. This is why 'Muhammad' is the most honored name in the world. Now God's barakah is with the Quran and anyone who follows it.
Why do you believe the Quran is the truth instead of the Bible?
@@holaamigo3084 I think I already answered that above - in great detail.
As a Christian we are God's temple so we don't have to go to a stone to be in the presence of God because God lives in us and we can speak with him wherever and he speaks back to us ❤✝️
Just finished the book, i find it hard to read through a book in the bible because im trying ao hard to understand whats going on while trying to take in all the knowledge but these videos make it easier for me to enjoy the process so thank you for your work! God bless ✝️
The arrangement of the Israelite camp is in the shape of a cross!!! The word of God always amazes me
just finished reading it for the first time, and this video helps me remember and understand things better
I think it's so cool how the bronze serpent was a symbol of Christ:
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. John 3:14-15
Alleluia
I love the video listening to them encourage me to want to continue reading the Bible. Thank you so so much
Thank you for making the bible clearer for laymen
Praise God ❤ thank you father
I love this series. Thank you Bible Project for posting it! It is very useful to understand the books of the Bible once you read them. Very good work!
Just a couple of cool notes I've picked up that he didn't mention -
1 - The arrangement of the Israelite camp looked a little more like a cross.
2 - The bronze serpent was representative of Jesus becoming sin on the cross, that's why it was a serpent.
I am SO VERY impressed by this channel. The artwork, the narration, the detail, the work put in, wow. Never ceases to amaze me.

I just made the connection of the 10 bad scouts and the 2 faithful ones. When Isreal split into the Northern and Southern tribes before the Babylonian exile, the South comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
They were the only ones to survive past it due to the other 10 being conquered by the Assyrians.
Man the Good Lord is subtle but effective ag foreshadowing.
God bless all sinners who seek christ !!! Amen!
This is so great. I just finished reading Numbers over the course of a few weeks. So this is really nice to refresh with all that I've learned in a quick summary. GREAT work Bible Project
Hi ! I LOVE the way you guys Draw. Every character, Every expression perfect. I used to draw everything & anything from 5 yrs old to my 20s, then I quit for 30 yrs. Never picked it back up. & I'm kicking myself for that. Anyways Thank You & God Bless !.
Thanks for all these animations may God protect and give you spiritual strength to continue this work
… and it’s beautiful. After reading this book, I feel blessed. ❤
Not only does the story of Balaam show Gods faithfulness behind the scenes in the midst of chaos, but it shows the Holy Spirit speaking THROUGH Balaam.
”By now Balaam realized that the Lord was determined to bless Israel, so he did not resort to divination as before. Instead, he turned and looked out toward the wilderness, where he saw the people of Israel camped, tribe by tribe. Then the Spirit of God came upon him,“
Numbers 24:1-2 NLT
Just goes to show that when you have a consistent relationship with God, seeking him everyday & living righteously , we too can naturally have the Holy Spirit speak through us as well.
But wasn’t balaam called the old testament Judas? And his heart was more into greed ? Not making him righteous…. Just wondering what u think
