This
Book is called
Numbers from the several numberings of
the people contained in it. It extends from the giving of the
Law at
Sinai, till their arrival in the plains of
Jordan. An
account is given of their
Murmuring and unbelief, for which they
were sentenced to wander in the
Wilderness nearly forty years;
also some laws, both moral and ceremonial. Their trials greatly
tended to distinguish the wicked and hypocrites from the
Faithful and true servants of
God, who served him with a pure
Heart.
