Welcome.

Welcome to everyone participating in the Creation to the Cross Bible Reading Plan in 2008. Each week, there will be a new post for the week's reading. You are invited to share your thoughts about what you've read by adding comments to that post. From time to time there will be posts about the day's reading, and you're invited to comment on those posts also. And each week, there will be a suggested, optional, supplemental reading for Sunday.

If you'd like an Introduction/Outline of Numbers click here.

A copy of the reading plan is available here.

Weekly Reading. Numbers 8-13.

Supplemental Reading for Week: Proverbs 3:1-12.

Breaking Camp.
The people have been rescued. They've rebelled. They've received the regulations to help them live pure lives, no longer in rebellion. They have been numbered and organized. Now it's time to head for the land God has promised them.

As you read this section of Numbers, try to put each piece of the narrative into the whole story. Ask this: "what is the purpose of this section?" (e.g. 8:5-26) Or this: "is this similar or in contrast to something else I've read?" (e.g. 11:1-3) Or this: "how does this section fit into the overall flow?" (e.g. 12:1-16 after chapter 11)

As always, any comment you want to make on the reading is more than welcome.
