Bible (Reina Valera) 04: Números

The "Bible (Reina Valera) 04: Números" is a book that is part of the Reina-Valera Bible. Its title, "Números" or "Numbers," refers to the two censuses that are a significant aspect of this book. However, the Hebrew title, "in the Wilderness," provides a more descriptive view of the content. Números recounts the journey of the people of God from Mount Sinai to the border of the Promised Land. However, when they refused to take possession of the land, God made them wander in the desert for almost forty years. Throughout the book, God is portrayed as a Holy God who cannot tolerate disobedience, yet faithfully keeps his covenant and patiently provides for the needs of his people. Números concludes with a new generation preparing to conquer Canaan. The majority of Jews and Christians recognize Moses as the author of this book, estimated to have been written during the last year of his life around 1405
