From www.ebible.org with slight reformatting by Martin Ward
"The World English Bible (WEB): Numbers" by Anonymous is a religious text that is part of a collection of scriptures known as the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament, likely transcribed in ancient times. This work serves as a historical account detailing events from the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt through their journey in the wilderness. The opening chapters focus specifically on meticulous lists of tribes, census details, sacrificial practices, and the roles of the Levites in the camp of Israel, establishing a structured society under divine guidance. The opening of "Numbers" begins with Yahweh commanding Moses to take a census of the Israelites, focusing on men eligible for military service and laying out the organizational structure of the camp. Each tribe is listed with its leaders and number of eligible fighting men, emphasizing the significance of lineage and tribal identity. The narrative provides specific roles for the Levites, who are designated to care for the Tabernacle and its furnishings, highlighting their importance in maintaining the holiness and order of the community. Through this detailed accounting, the text sets up a foundation for the Israelites' unity and their covenant relationship with God throughout their journey toward the Promised Land.
