- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The Book of Numbers.
- 00:18
- This is the fourth book in the Bible. It is also written by Moses.
- 00:24
- It's one of the five books written by Moses. And this book was written during the 40 years that Israel was in the wilderness.
- 00:33
- They're traveling in the wilderness. They are really going through this book as almost an instruction book for them, a manual while they're in the wilderness on how to organize themselves, how to set up camp, how to organize the priests and the
- 00:52
- Levites and what their job function should be while they're traveling. It will talk in detail about not only the ordering of the tribes, but also about their journeys through the different plains in Moab.
- 01:07
- They'll talk about the neighbors around them as they're entering into Canaan.
- 01:13
- And so what you end up having is this is laws, for the most part, concerning their time in that 40 -year wilderness.
- 01:21
- Keep in mind, if you remember, they're in this wilderness because they didn't have enough faith to go into the
- 01:28
- Promised Land. And so God had told them that they would be in the wilderness until he was ready.
- 01:36
- And that time was 40 years later. So this book is a book that goes through the wanderings of Israel in the wilderness and is giving them the instructions on how to live their life because God is concerned with how we live our life.
