Numbers

Timeless literature! Ethical in strain and high in religious thought, Numbers by Robert Watson recounts the history of the Israelites’ wilderness wanderings, reconstructed only as God’s doings and not as a record of their achievements or their sufferings. The patriotism shining through recalls the prophecies, while its legislative purpose reacts on the historical! The spirit of this book is severe. Dwelling on the duties and delinquencies of Israel and exalting the majesty of God, as far as possible arranged chronologically, Dr. Watson’s exposition and practical approach are commendable!
