Numbers, oh Numbers. To be honest, this hasn't been the most exciting book for me to read. There have been interesting points, but also a lot of rules and laws and locations and names that I had trouble reading/comprehending. I think I got the overall purpose for this book though.
Like much of the Pentateuch, this book contained historical information, laws, and detailed accounts of the Israelites journey from Egypt onward. I think that it is clear that God communicated with his people, and though they did not always do what he instructed, Moses continued to lead them, both in their physical journey and in their journey closer to God.
Seeing that even Moses and Aaron find a way to fail God, we can be reminded that nobody is perfect, but God can still use us in his Divine plan.
One book left in the Pentateuch. Then on to the Historical Books.
