Numbers 26:2

Numbers is the book of the wilderness — not as romantic metaphor, but as consequence. Israel had been liberated, received the covenant, built the tabernacle. They had everything needed to enter the promised land. Then they refused. Forty years of wandering followed. Numbers is the honest record: the complaints, the rebellions, the longing for Egypt — and running through all of it, a divine faithfulness that failure never defeated. Over seven days, this plan inhabits the long middle Numbers describes, because every serious community of faith is living in some version of it right now.

TOGETHER IN HIS WORD a Church-Wide Two-Year Bible Reading Plan for reading through the Bible chronologically

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Three of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'From Joshua to Samuel, 1452 BC–1145 BC'.

This is the fourth part of a reading plan through the Bible following the lectionary pattern of reading in the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament each day. In addition, this part of the plan will also focus on our only comfort in life and death from questions 1 & 2 of the Heidelberg Catechism.
