George Bush Notes, Critical and Practical, on the Book of Numbers

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. As to the time of its being written, the evidence adduced in the Introduction to the Notes on Leviticus, 1, relative to the date of the composition of that book, leads obviously to the conclusion, that while the former was written during the encampment at Mount Sinai, the latter, or the present book, was written at the station on the plains of Moab. The authority for this statement is found in Num. These are the commandments and the judgments which the lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. We can glean nothing more definite than this relative to the date of the writing.
