| 0:00.0 | Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast. We are your host, Kristen Walker |
| 0:06.7 | Smith and Callie Black. Hello and welcome to Big Picture Monday. My name is Callie Black. You're |
| 0:12.3 | with all the context you need to totally rock this week's Come Follow Me readings. This week is May |
| 0:16.2 | 4th through the 10th and we get to study the book of numbers this week. We are going to study |
| 0:21.0 | numbers, chapters 11 through 14, 20 through 24, and 27. Now, believe it or not, this part's crazy. |
| 0:32.0 | We are going to talk about all 40 years of wandering in the wilderness with the Israelites this week. And yes, I'm absolutely |
| 0:40.0 | serious. As a reminder, let's set the scene here. The Israelites have spent their first year |
| 0:49.0 | following their exodus from Egypt at the base of Mount Sinai, right? They have received commandments from the |
| 0:56.9 | Lord. They've made covenants. They've received the erronic priesthood. They've built a tabernacle and |

| 1:33.8 | So that's where their mindset is. |
| 1:35.7 | And so as we read this week, you'll see what actually happens and why a lot of wandering has to take place. |
| 1:42.1 | So let's talk about the book of numbers in big picture here. |
| 1:46.0 | First of all, why is it called numbers? It's called numbers because it starts and ends with a |
| 1:52.2 | census being taken of all the children of Israel. So they are literally counting how many Israelites are |
| 1:59.0 | there. Well, they only count the men, but they count how many male |
| 2:02.1 | Israelites there are. That's how they take a census. So that's why it's called the book of numbers, |
| 2:06.7 | but just as like a fun side connection, for me, I think of the book of numbers teaches me about |
| 2:13.6 | the 40 years of wandering. So if anyone ever randomly asks you, hey, what's the book of |
