Nor has He seen1 wickedness in Israel.
The Lord his God is with him,
bAnd the shout of a King is among them.
Nor any1 divination against Israel.
It now must be said of Jacob
And of Israel, ‘Oh, awhat God has done!’
And lifts itself up like a lion;
bIt shall not lie down until it devours the prey,
And drinks the blood of the slain.”
Numbers
NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
