How should Christian readers of scripture hold appropriate and constructive tensions between exegetical, critical, hermeneutical, and theological concerns? This book seeks to develop the current lively discussion of theological hermeneutics by taking an extended test case, the book of Numbers, and seeing what it means in practice to hold all these concerns together. In the process the book attempts to reconceive the genre of "commentary" by combining focused attention to the details of the text with particular engagement with theological and hermeneutical concerns arising in and through the interpretive work. The book focuses on the main narrative elements of Numbers 11–25, although other passages are included (Numbers 5, 6, 33). With its mix of genres and its challenging theological perspectives, Numbers offers a range of difficult cases for traditional Christian hermeneutics. Briggs argues that the Christian practice of reading scripture requires engagement with broad theological concerns, and brings into his discussion Frei, Auerbach, Barth, Ricoeur, Volf, and many other biblical scholars. The book highlights several key formational theological questions to which Numbers provides illuminating answers: What is the significance and nature of trust in God? How does holiness (mediated in Numbers through the priesthood) challenge and redefine our sense of what is right, or "fair"? To what extent is it helpful to conceptualize life with God as a journey through a wilderness, of whatever sort? Finally, short of whatever promised land we may be, what is the context and role of blessing?

Something in us aches for more—more hope, more joy, more freedom. All around us people are dancing to the steps of bigger, better, and faster, and we can easily join in without even realizing it. Before long complaining and comparing accompany our desire for more, yet we’re not any closer to filling the ache inside. God offers us another way. In this study of the Book of Numbers, we’ll find a group of people that wandered in the desert for forty years, unable to enter the Promised Land because of their complaining, grumbling, and lack of faith. The New Testament tells us that their story was written to warn us (1 Corinthians 10:6) so that we would not make the same mistakes and suffer the same consequences. God sent his only Son to die to buy our freedom from the sin that leads to discontentment, and we find our own promised land of peace and contentment in the life he gives us. By exploring Numbers we can come to identify the reasons for our complaining, learn contentment while being authentic about the difficulties of life, accept short-term hardship in light of the greater good of God’s ultimate deliverance, recognize the relationship between complaining and worry, and discover how to realign with God’s character and promises. Together we will learn contentment as we discover more of our incredible God who truly is more than enough. Only God can fill that ache inside and help us focus on his provision and purpose in the midst of life’s joys and pains. The Leader Guide, to be used along with the study's workbook and DVD, contains six session plan outlines, complete with discussion points and questions, activities, prayers, and more—plus leader helps for facilitating a group. Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Participant Workbook, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study’s components).

The numbers in the King James Holy Bible have significant meaning that follow the number throughout the scripture. The number 13 has always been an 'unlucky' number. The number 13 is the number that represents Satan, evil, wickedness, devils, and everything vile that is connected to them. This book is a chronological account of the number of 'Rebellion' in the bible from Genesis to Revelation.The word "THIRTEENTH" is found to be the thirteenth word in a bible verse only one time at: Esther 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, ...The words thirteen and thirteenth appears 26 (2x13) times in the bible.There are 13 famines recorded in scripture.There are 13 kings recorded from David to Zedekiah who went into Babylonian captivity. 2nd Chron. 36:10The phrase: 'the old serpent', 'thousand years', 'Jannes/Jambres' have 13 letters.The Antichrist (13 letters), who we know to be 'Judas Iscariot; (13 letters), is the one who 'betrayed Jesus' (13 letters).He is the coming to rule over 'New World Order' (13 letters) that is being set up currently by the globalists.The Antichrist 'is the man of sin' (13 letters) spoken of by Jesus in the gospels, and his final abode will be 'the lake of fire' (13 letters). A sample of the Revelation 13:18 (a 13 with 3x6), the 66th book of the bible; the 13th chapter; and the 18th verse; here we get the "number of a man"; 'the Antichrist', which is 666; the unholy trinity of man. The word "beast" in sole reference to the person of 'the Antichrist' (13 letters), himself, appears a total of 36 (6x6) times in Revelation. No coincidence.The address 13:18 (13+3x6) added together is: 1+3+1+8=13; and 13+18=31 a 13 reversed; 'the Antichrist' is covered over with 6s, 13s and their multiples. Another infamous 13:18 is found in John's gospel (see); John is also the author of the book of Revelation; and he records Jesus, at the last supper, quoting Psa. 41:9 and Jesus says: "He that eateth bread with me hath lift up his heel against me." a direct reference to the "betrayer" 'Judas Iscariot' (13 letters) and the quote just happens to be 13 words in length; see the nuggets in John 13 of this work to see other such "coincidences" as the scoffers would say. In Genesis 3:15 we have the first recorded prophecy in the bible of the Devil's seed 'the Antichrist' (13 letters), and the address of Gen. 3:15 is (3+15=18, 666).The only use in the bible of the capital "S" Six; is found in verse 18; and it personifies the number as you would capitalize a proper name.

Numbers continues the historical narrative begun in Exodus, the story of God's people newly freed from Egypt's shackles and wandering toward the promised land. While Numbers accounts for the next 39 years of their wilderness wandering, it's also a story of God's presence among His beloved. Even when they rebelled--and this book tells of many rebellions--God's love and promises remained. It's in that love and those promises the children of Israel found their identity and where we must find ours today.
