Numbers
The book of Numbers is a book of law and history. The name comes from the fact there are two censuses taken. The first is described in Chapter 1 and the second in Chapter 26. The book covers 38 years of the Israelite people wandering in the desert. However, it contains a fairly good coverage of laws as well.
