In Hebrew, Bmidbar means ''in the wilderness,'' which is the real name of this book. The Greek translators called it Arithmoi, and in Latin it was Numeri, because the translators f ocused on the two census takings at the beginning and the end of the wanderings. But its basically ''the wilderness wanderings.'' Numbers is really a book about arrested progress. In a sense, it never should have happened. It took only 40 hours to get Israel out of Egypt - the Passover. But it took 40 years to get Egypt out of Israel. Copyright © 06-13-2011 Show more
