The Book ofNumbers
Old Testament · Book 4 of 66 · 36 chapters · 1,288 verses
Numbers follows Israel through forty years of wilderness — a journey that should have taken eleven days. It is an honest record of grumbling, unbelief, and consequence, but also of God's patient provision: manna, water, guidance by cloud and fire, and the famous priestly blessing.

- And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.Numbers 13:30Caleb's faith: we are well able to take the land.
