Von der hinteren Coverseite

Mark Awabdy offers a substantive and useful commentary on the book of Numbers that is both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text.

This volume is the second in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament (BCOT): Pentateuch series, which complements the popular BCOT: Wisdom and Psalms series. Each series volume covers one book of the Pentateuch, addressing important issues and problems that flow from the text and exploring the contemporary relevance of the Pentateuch.

From the Series Preface
Each commentary in this series not only highlights the distinctive features unique to each biblical book but also reflects the unique approach of the one commenting on it. Each volume provides a fresh translation of the Hebrew text along with section-by-section comments. Each contributor carefully attends to (1) the meaning and significance of the ancient discourse and, where appropriate, (2) its reception in Jewish and Christian tradition, (3) the text's relation and contribution to the canon of Scripture as a whole, and (4) the text's implications for our contemporary setting. In this way, these commentaries not only lay bare the perspectives of the ancient human authors but also bring their voices into dialogue with other words that God has spoken--and is speaking--through Scripture and tradition, doing so in a way that dignifies the relevance of the Pentateuch as a contemporary word from God rather than merely an ancient, dusty book from antiquity. It is our hope that these BCOT: Pentateuch volumes will enable us all to hear this word from God afresh for the benefit of the church universal.
