Inhaltsangabe

<p>Although the name of the book of Numbers derives from the lists and census data contained therein, Walter Riggans shows that this biblical book, rich in content, is best understood in the context of the Pentateuch as a whole. In this incisive commentary, the author describes the people of Israel during their trials in the wilderness, throughout the period of adjustment, and into the time of settlement. He illustrates that the underlying theme of Numbers is the gracious providence of the Lord, who cares for Israel in spite of constant rebellion by the people and their leaders.</p><p>Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, <i>The Daily Study Bible</i> has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, <i>The Daily Study Bible</i> provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.</p>
