NOTES for Num 33:1-56

As they wandered from Egypt to Canaan, the sons of Israel had many opportunities to learn from experience what their Lord is like. And the central figure in the narrative of this wandering turns out to be the one who, in the most difficult moments, was ready to hope in Him. The history of Israel, and then the history of the Church, and our own life as well, will confirm more than once that those who hope in God find blessedness, while those who turn away from Him find destruction.
