Numbers 21-36: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary



The Book of Numbers is an account of how the Israelites wandered in the wilderness after receiving the Ten Commandments of Mount Sinai. Through this time of testing while facing an uncertain future the people complained repeatedly to Moses and to God. Though fraught with tension and power struggles their pilgrimage led to the discovery that God is indeed faithful to His promises regardless of how people behave. In Numbers 21-36 world-renowned Bible scholar Baruch A. Levine unravels the complexity and confusing details in this Old Testament book. His lucid translation based on thorough textual and linguistic research including the ancient Deir Alla texts opens the door for modern readers to understand and appreciate the richness of this intriguing book. Further Levine examines the route of the wilderness wanderings the ancient Near Eastern context of the laws the social organization of early Israel and the meaning of this biblical book for the contemporary world.Destined to become a classic and to share the same glowing reception that greeted Numbers 1-20 and its publication Numbers 21-36 also completes the Anchor Bible series' first multi volume commentary on a book of the Torah.
