We left our listeners on a cliffhanger at the end of Numbers 19. – Jonathan Master

But never fear, Jonathan and James are pleased to welcome Michael Morales back to the podcast to continue where he left off when he was a guest late last year. A professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Michael returns to discuss the second volume of his commentary on the Book of Numbers. In his new 2-volume commentary, Michael carefully demonstrates the ongoing relevance of Numbers, its positive vision for life, and the surprising challenge it offers to contemporary Christians. 

Today, their discussion focuses on Numbers 20-36, including the significance of Balaam's oracles, the role of Jewish sources in understanding the text, and the poignant moments in Moses' leadership. Join us as we uncover the rich narratives and themes that shape this lesser-studied section of the Pentateuch.

Thanks to the generosity of Wiley Press, we are pleased to award two copies of Michael Morales’ Numbers Commentary, Volume 2 to our listeners. Congratulations to David H. from Cody, WY and Wes K. from Great Falls, VA!
