Description
Herein is Love is a series of Bible commentaries for parents to read to their children. They provide what children need most—solid truths to grow in. In these books, Nancy Ganz draws out the beautiful implications of the Old Testament narrative that are foundational for Christian faith.
The beginning books of the Bible are essential to our understanding of God’s redemptive story. The Herein is Love series creatively focuses our attention on the events that bring this story to life, combining the richness of literature and the depth of a commentary.
The Book of Numbers opens with these words: “The LORD spoke to Moses... He said, ‘Take a census of the whole Israelite community... listing every man by name, one by one... Number all the men in Israel...’” (Numbers 1: 1-3). The LORD of Hosts is concerned with counting and listing, numbering and recording. We see this work of God, not just in the book called “Numbers”; we see this throughout His Holy Word. Long lists of numbers are part of God’s Wonderful Word! They are even part of His Glorious Gospel! From the beginning of the Bible to its end we see God counting and listing— and we must see these divine activities as part of the “awesome deeds of the LORD.”
The Book of Numbers also deals repeatedly with Israel’s rebellion against God. Not surprisingly, we find that God was keeping careful track of their numerous revolts against Him. The people’s rebellion reached its culmination in Numbers 14, when God declared that Israel “disobeyed and tested Me ten times” (Numbers 14: 22). That God keeps account of sin is a sobering and terrifying reality. Not one of our sins escapes God’s notice, but there is hope. In Numbers, when we read of the people’s rebellion, we also read of God’s compassion. Moses declared God’s own Word: “The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in LOVE and forgiving sin and rebellion” (Numbers 14: 18).
As with every other book in the Bible, Numbers is a book that brings us to our knees in faith and love, with our grateful and thankful hearts overflowing with praise to our God.
