Ready... Set... STOP! A Promising Start (Numbers 1-10)

The first ten chapters of Numbers possess a promising tone, recounting Israel's final preparations before beginning their journey to the Promised Land. This is one of Israel's great moments. Everything God commands they do. Their obedience is perfect. Their preparations, flawless. That is, until they set out on their journey. And then, what should have taken just a few days, turns into a 38-year long nightmare full of rebellion, grumblings, and disobedience. These chapters show the promise of "what could have been." But sprinkled among all the chapters and subtle and ominous glimpses of the potential dangers ahead.
