Numbers

Commentaries on the Pentateuch #4

by Rousas John Rushdoony (Narrator)

The Lord desires a people who will embrace their responsibilities. The history of Israel in the wilderness is a sad narrative of a people with hearts hardened by complaint and rebellion to God's ordained authorities. They were slaves, not an army. They would recognize the tyranny of Pharaoh but disregard the servant-leadership of Moses. God would judge the generation He led out of captivity while training a new generation to conquer Canaan. The book of Numbers reveals God's dealings with both generations. The rebellious in Israel are judged incessantly while a census is taken to number the armies of Israel according to their tribes. This was an assessment of strength and a means to encourage the younger generation to view themselves as God's army and not Pharaoh's slaves. MP3 CD containing 66 sermons!

Reviews

[Isaac · Rating 4 out of 5]

This commentary (and all five in this series) are very valuable as accompanying commentaries in your studies on the books of the Pentateuch. You won't find thorough exegetical handling of the texts (which is bread and butter for commentaries), but you will find insight and commentary which pushes your thinking outside of the box and allows you to see some things that you wouldn't otherwise see. Thought provoking and useful. You won't agree with everything Rushdoony says, but you'll never get bored with him that's for sure. I always consult Rushdoony when I'm studying or preaching from books in the Pentateuch.
