No, it is safe to say that Numbers is the narrative, but Deuteronomy is a second law. It's a second set of laws that are given due to the hardness of Israel's heart at this particular time. But it's chalk-filled with wonderful, wonderful guidance and wisdom for us.

And we can talk about that, particularly in the area of how do you live your life when you're going into a country where it is diametrically opposed to the message of God? Like that's ever going to happen, right? Yeah, that may be once in a while. So we're going to look at that.

But there's a number of very important things that take place in this relatively small period of salvation history, which is about 40 years.

Right. Well, you know, there are sections of the Bible that seem rather boring, whether it's numbering off the tribes and telling us how many numbers, number of people there are in each particular tribe, or so-and-so begot so-and-so begot so-and-so. And while they might be boring, they're actually very critical, very important.

And while they might be boring, they're actually very critical, very important.

particularly for the person who wants to go a little bit deeper into the story of the Bible. For example, the so-and-so begot so-and-so is actually a literary device called a toledot. And a toledot in Hebrew is sort of like a lens where you're going from wide angle to narrow. And it's a way of going from the broad picture down to one man.

And that's a literary device that kind of takes you by the hand and walks you there. So while they might seem boring, they're very useful. They're very powerful and good for understanding the story. But we pick up in the book of Numbers, and it's important to realize that when Numbers starts, they are still at Mount Sinai.

In our last period, they were at Mount Sinai for one year, and they received the tabernacle, the priesthood, and the law. These were the three major changes. And then shortly after that, now in the book of Numbers, they're going to break camp. But before that, there is like a recapping of the Exodus story. They go back and they look at that story a bit, as they do in Deuteronomy.
