Bemidbar in Hebrew or Numbers in Greek or In The Wilderness in English, shows us the discipleship in the desert before to take possession of the promised land. The people are counted and preparations are made for resuming their march. Those who complain or doubt we’re destroyed while those who we’re content, holy and faithful persevered with the new generation.

Two specific narratives in the book of Numbers:
The first is Numbers 14 after the Children of Israel refuse to go into the promised land. In verse 24, God says “My servant, Caleb, has a different spirit”. How marvelous would it be to hear those words spoken about us- My servant (insert your name) has a different spirit…
The second is in Numbers 21, when the people disobeyed and were bitten by serpents. God provided a solution to the problem that required action on the part of the people. They didn’t just need to believe they would be saved, but they had to physically look at the serpent on the pole. Salvation was a gift, but required something from the people. It was obviously a very important part of the Jewish heritage in that Jesus referenced it in His conversation with Nicodemus, recorded by John in Ch. 3.
Numbers is a book rich with information that is sometimes overlooked.
Yehovah spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness.
Numbers 12:7 My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household quoted in Hebrews 3:2-5
