0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:10.6 | Let me start out by saying this book has been poorly named in English. In Hebrew, it was called |
0:18.1 | In the Wilderness. For those of you who don't love actual numbers, just know that even though this book does |
0:23.5 | contain them, it also contains some highly underrated stories of scripture, some of my |
0:28.2 | favorites. |
0:29.2 | Most people won't wade through the numbers to get there, but we're not afraid. |

1:26.1 | loved those 12 brothers and promised to give them the land of |
1:29.2 | Canaan to live in, where their enemies the Canaanites lived. This one brother's enslavement took |
