Numbers

The book of Numbers begins with a census of the Israelites, resulting in a total of 603,550 men 20 years old and above who were able to go to war. The Israelites were then instructed to camp around the tabernacle in specific groups and were given instructions for various offerings and rituals. However, the Israelites rebelled against Moses and Aaron, and God punished them, declaring that the current generation would not enter the Promised Land, except for Caleb and Joshua. The book then describes the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, their encounters with various nations, and their eventual arrival in the plains of Moab. The book concludes with instructions for the division of the land of Canaan, the appointment of leaders to oversee the division, and the establishment of cities of refuge for those who unintentionally killed someone, demonstrating God's power and authority throughout.
