Explore the contemporary significance of the Old Testament and hear the Word of God afresh This substantive and useful commentary on the book of Numbers is both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text. It is grounded in rigorous scholarship but useful for those who preach and teach. In addition to paragraph-level commentary, all volumes of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series feature: ● A fresh translation of the Hebrew text ● Incisive comments based on the author's translation ● Linguistic, historical, and canonical insights ● Theological reflections ● Footnotes addressing technical matters Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find here an accessible commentary that will serve as an excellent resource for their study. This is the second volume in a new series on the Pentateuch, which complements other Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series: Historical Books, Wisdom and Psalms, and Prophets. 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. The series editor is Bill T. Arnold, the Paul S. Amos Professor of Old Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary.
