In the opening chapters there is a numbering of the old generation, and then toward the conclusion of the book of Numbers there is a numbering of the new generation.
What we have in the book of Numbers is the story of the children of Israel who had been promised the land of Canaan. Then right in the middle of their beginning to move to claim their inheritance, tragedy struck and they went right up to Kadesh Barnea and could have gone right on into the Promised Land but chose to turn and to go away. That began those 40 years of wandering in the wilderness.

We're going to go back to chapter 5, and then we're going to move forward to this tenth chapter talking about these silver trumpets.
In the opening four chapters of the book of Numbers we have a counting. He counts the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel and those who could go forth to war, those who were able to battle. Then when you com ...
