Numbers 10:29

For millennia, God’s people have been carrying out a weekly Bible study plan. Every year, they read through the Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In synagogue each week, they read and study a Bible passage—the weekly parshah. This parshah is called “Behaalotecha,” which is Hebrew for “When You Raise Up,” and covers Numbers 8:1-12:16.

Join us in praying for our leaders with this 8-day reading plan, featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.

Begin your journey through Numbers with clarity. On the first day of this plan, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapters of Numbers. This introduction explains Israel’s forty years in the wilderness and how preparation, rebellion, discipline, and renewed hope shaped the nation. You will see both the consequences of unbelief and the faithfulness of God. As you read, remember that Numbers is still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God’s Word in the language they understand best. This plan offers a clear starting point as you read Numbers.

The Bible is a compilation of 66 books. Each book has an overarching theme. Multiple stories and texts in each book point to an attribute of God. When these themes are recognized, they help us understand the message of that book better. It also allows us to see how One Single Story is woven from beginning to end. Ultimately, each theme will enable us to understand Jesus and why He came.
