The Book of Numbers: A Critique of Genesis

In this work Calum Carmichaela legal scholar who applies a literary approach to the study of the Bibleshows how each law and each narrative in Numbers, the least researched book in the Pentateuch, responds to problems arising in narrative incidents in Genesis. The book continues Carmichaels process of demonstrating how every law in the Pentateuch is a response to a problem arising in a biblical narrative, not to an inferred societal situation.
