Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Numbers
The Divine discipline of human life is an element of the theme, but in contrast to the Greek dramas the books of the exodus are not individualistic. Moses is great, but he is so as the teacher of religion, the ser vant of Jehovah, the lawgiver Of Israels Jehovah, His religion, His law, are above Moses. Thepersonality Of the leader stands clear; yet he is not the hero Of the ~book of Numbers. The purpose of the history leaves him, when he has done his work, to die on Mount Abarim,' and presses on, that Jehovah may be seen as a man Of war, that Israel may be brought to it's inheritance and begin its new career. The voice ~of men in the Greek tragedy is, as Mr. Ruskin says, We trusted in the gods; we thought that wisdom and courage would save us. Our wisdom and courage deceive us to our death. When Moses despairs, that is not his cry. There is no Fate stronger than God; and He looks far into the future in the discipline He appoints, to men, to His people Israel. The remote, the unfulfilled, gleams along the desert. There is a light from the pillar of fire even when the'pestilence is abroad, and the graves Of the lustful are dug, and the camp is dissolved in tears because Aaron is dead, because Moses has climbed the last mountain and shall never again be seen.

Excerpt from The Book of Numbers
To summon from the past and reproduce with any detail the story of Israel's life in the desert is now impossible. The outlines alone remain, severe, careless of almost everything that does not bear on religion. Neither from Exodus nor from Numbers can we gather those touches that would enable us to reconstruct the incidents of a single day as it passed in the camp or on the march. The tribes move from one "wilderness" to another. The hardship of the time of wandering appears unrelieved, for throughout the history the doings of God, not the achievements or sufferings of the people, are the great theme. The patriotism of the Book of Numbers is of a kind that reminds us continually of the prophecies. Resentment against the distrustful and rebellious, like that which Amos, Hosea, and Jeremiah express, is felt in almost every portion of the narrative. At the same time the difference between Numbers and the books of the prophets is wide and striking. Here the style is simple, often stern, with little emotion, scarcely any rhetoric. The legislative purpose reacts on the historical, and makes the spirit of the book severe.
