Review Quotes: "Michael Morales has marshaled a breathtaking spectrum of Jewish, Christian, and critical perspectives unprecedented in commentary to Numbers - or to any book of the Hebrew Bible. His attention to the ways structure, themes and vocabulary create a unified whole within chapters and across the book makes this an indispensable resource."--Joshua Berman, Bar-Ilan University, author of Inconsistency in the Torah: Ancient Literary Conventio
