About this video

Runtime: 11 mins

Richard Briggs discusses  the book of Numbers, the fourth book of the Old Testament, part of the Pentateuch and traditionally attributed to Moses. Its Hebrew title, "In the Wilderness," reflects its narrative focus, while the English title "Numbers" highlights the censuses detailed in its opening chapters. The book continues the story from Exodus and Leviticus, detailing further laws and the organization of the Israelite camp. A significant theme is the Israelites' struggle to trust God, illustrated by their complaints and disobedience during their journey. This lack of trust results in their prolonged wandering and Moses' disqualification from leading them into the Promised Land. The book challenges readers to reflect on their own faith and trust in God.
