Questions & Answers

The majority of this column is dedicated to answering a question concerning how one should go about understanding a single verse of the Bible in its overall context. The response indicates one must first take into account the meaning and significance of the Bible itself before one can narrow the focus down to the meaning and significance of a book, a chapter, and a verse. It then takes the Book of Numbers, fits it into the context of the Pentateuch, shows how the account in Numbers 22:1–26:65 fits into that context, and then shows how the meaning and significance of Numbers 25:3 stands out in light of that overall context.
