    The book of Numbers revolves around the Israelites heading to the promised land in response to God's command. While they experience diversions, God remains faithful to His covenant. The Israelites' frequent complaining angered God and led to judgment, while faith in God brought blessings, as seen in Joshua and Caleb believing God would give them victory. Moses faced difficulties as leader, listening to God, communicating to the people, and organizing the camp in an orderly manner according to God's instructions. Key lessons include obeying commands, that all work is important, both young and old can serve God, wrongs can be made right, and individuals should not follow crowds but listen to God.

    Themes
    1.God is faithful to keep his covenant.
    The entirety of the book of Numbers revolves around the Israelites heading to the promise
    land. They are going there in response to God’s word to Moses (Exod. 6:2-8) that He would
    give them the land of Canaan, which is a fulfillment of God’s word to Abraham in Genesis
    12:2 that He would make him a great nation. While they experience many diversions, and
    God has every reason to wipe them out, He doesn’t. He is faithful.
    2.Complaining (and the like) is bad.
    The Israelites complaining made God angry (Num. 11:1); it made Him “very angry” (11:10);
    His anger “burned against the people” (11:33). Complaining made Moses angry (11:10) and
    motivated him to misrepresent God (20:1-12). Their complaining led to sickness (12:10),
    weeping (14:1), wilderness wandering (14:33), rebellion (16:1-8), and death (16:32-33, 49).
    Nothing good came out of their complaining.
    3.Rebellion brings judgment; faith brings blessings.
    Amidst all the judgment already cited, there are a couple of instances of blessings resulting
    from exercised faith. Because the book is dominated by scenes of failure and defeat, these
    expressions of belief in the Lord shine a bit brighter then they would otherwise. Not counting
    the faith of Moses throughout the book, the most notable event regarding faith is that of
    Joshua and Caleb in Numbers 13-14. When all the others were afraid of going into the land,
    these two knew that God would give them the victory if they only were to believe. Because
    of their faith, they did not die in the wilderness like the others. The other instance of faith is
    found in chapter 21 as God sends poisonous snakes to bite complainers. After interceding
    for the people, God revealed to Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole. Any
    who would look at the snake would be healed. Looking at the snake, of course, would
    require faith.
    4.The Role of Leadership - Poor Moses! Many a pastor has been encouraged by reading
    about the difficulties experienced by this great leader. His role was to listen to the Lord and
    receive instructions from Him (Num. 1:1, 2:1, et. al.), communicate to the people, assemble
    a team (1:17; 11:16-17), pray for the people (11:2; 12:13; 14:5; 16:4, 21:7), and delegate
    tasks (20:14).
    5.Order-
    The first chapter of Numbers documents a census. Chapter two reveals how God wanted
    the people to camp in an organized way, each “under their respective banners beside the
    flags of their ancestral families” (2:2). The next several chapters layout specific duties and
    numberings of the Levites. Details of offerings are spelled out in Numbers 7:1-83. The book

    LESSONS FROM

    1.When you’re told to do something, learn to listen
    and don’t complain. -Numbers 1:54, “Thus did the
    people of Israel; they did according to all that the
    Lord commanded Moses.”
    2.No matter what you do, it is important work. -Numbers 4:15, “ And
    when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all
    the furnishings of the sanctuary, as the camp sets out, after that sons of
    Kohath shall come to carry these, but they must not touch the holy
    things, lest they die.These are the things of the tent of meeting that the
    sons of Kohath are to carry.”
    3.You’re not to young or to old to do God‘s work. -
    Numbers 4:30, “From thirty years old up to fifty years
    old, you shall list them, everyone who can come on duty,
    to do the service of the tent of meeting.”
    4.Always know a wrong can be made right. -
    Numbers 5:6b- 8, “and that person realizes his
    guilt, he shall confess his sin that he has
    committed. And he shall make full restitution for
    his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him
    to whom he did the wrong.”
    5.Get your head out of the crowds. -Numbers
    3:5, “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set
    them before Aaron the priest, that they may
    minister to him.”
