Leviticus, Numbers (Understanding the Bible Commentary | UBC)
Overview
Understanding the Bible Commentary: Leviticus, Numbers takes on two often neglected books of Scripture with the conviction that modern believers can gain much benefit from them. Amidst the laws and lists, these two books display the holiness and awesomeness of God, the importance of purity, the nature of worship, the value of obedience, and the consequences of disobedience in the early life of Israel.
In the Logos edition, each Scripture passage links to your favorite translation, and the series is easy to study side-by-side with your other commentaries. You can search by topic or Scripture with remarkably fast results.
