{"product_id":"9781467422932","title":"The Books of Numbers","description":"The  book of Numbers tells a story that has  two main characters -- God and Israel.  The way the story is told sounds odd and  often harsh to readers today. In spite  of the difficulties imposed by Numbers  on today's readers, the main point of  the book is of immense importance for  God's people in any age: exact obedience  to God is crucial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis  comprehensive and erudite commentary --  resulting from nearly a decade of study  of Numbers by Timothy Ashley -- presents  a thorough explication of this  significant Hebrew text. Ashley's  introduction to Numbers discusses such  questions as structure, authorship, and  theological themes, and it features an  extended bibliography of major works on  the book of Numbers, concentrating  mainly on works in English, French, and  German.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDividing the text of  Numbers into five major sections,  Ashley's commentary elucidates the  theological themes of obedience and  disobedience that run throughout the  book's narrative. His detailed  verse-by-verse comments are intended  primarily to explain the Hebrew text of  Numbers as we have it rather than to  speculate on how the book came to be in  its present form.","brand":"Eerdmans, William B.
