NICOT: The Book of Numbers
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 todayÉs readers, the
main point of the book is of immense importance for GodÉs people in any age:
exact obedience to God is crucial. This 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.
AshleyÉs 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. Dividing the text of Numbers into five major sections,
AshleyÉs commentary elucidates the theological themes of obedience and
disobedience that run throughout the bookÉs 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.'In the Old Testament we read GodÉs word as it was
spoken to his people Israel. Today, thousands of years later, we hear in these
thirty-nine books his inspired and authoritative message for us.' These twin
convictions, shared by all of the contributors to The New International
Commentary on the Old Testament, define the goal of this ambitious series
of commentaries. For those many modern readers who find the Old Testament to be
strange and foreign soil, the NICOT series serves as an authoritative guide
bridging the cultural gap between todayÉs world and the world of ancient
Israel. Each NICOT volume aims to help us hear GodÉs word as clearly as
possible.'Ashley writes in a very readable style. He not only deals
with the technical problems of the book, but also demonstrates the relevance of
the book for theology.' - Tremper LongmanSeries: New International
