I am going to be posting bible studies through the book of Numbers in the coming weeks, and to accompany those studies, I will be posting some commentary and introductory material related to the book of Numbers.
By way of introduction, Numbers is the fourth book of the five books of Moses often called the Torah or the Pentateuch. As part of the Torah, Numbers is a significant book to study and understand for any believer in the God of Abraham, including those who acknowledge Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah. As scripture declares, Yeshua was a Jew and would have memorized the Torah from an early age and lived His life according to its truths.
In the observant Jewish and Messianic Jewish communities around the world, the Torah (books of Moses) is divided into weekly portions known as Parashah. Observant Jews around the world are reading and studying the same portion of scripture during the same week. The book of Numbers is divided into ten (10) Parashat (plural of Parashah) as follows:
Bemidbar (In the wilderness) Numbers 1:1-4:20
Naso (Take/carry) Numbers 4:21-7:89
Beha’alotekha (When you set up) Numbers 8:1-12:16
Shelach-Lekha (Send for yourself) Numbers 13:1-15:41
Korach (Korah) Numbers 16:1-18:32
Chukat (Decree of) Numbers 19:1-22:1
Balak (Balak) Numbers 22:2-25:9
Pinchas (Phinehas) Numbers 25:10-30:1
Mattot (Tribes) Numbers 30:2-32:42
Masei (Journeys of) Numbers 33:1-36:13
