Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. Notes at the close of each chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.

This volume takes on two oft-neglected books of Scripture with the conviction that modern believers can gain much benefit from them. Amid the laws and lists, these two books display the holiness and awesomeness of God, the importance of purity, the nature of worship, the importance of obedience, and the consequences of disobedience in the early life of Israel.

W. H. Bellinger, Jr. is W. Marshall and Lulie Craig Professor of Bible and chair of the department of religion at Baylor University and is an ordained Baptist minister. His other publications include Psalms: Reading and Studying the Book of Praises and The Testimony of Poets and Sages.

"In his characteristically clear, competent, and comprehensive manner, Bill Bellinger offers a commentary on Leviticus and Numbers that will be useful in both church and academy. He manages beautifully the difficult task of being both detailed and accessible and of being exhaustive without being exhausting. Bellinger is thoroughly familiar with what he calls 'the worship texts of the Old Testament.' He is sensitive to both the ancient and modern contexts, and he interprets Leviticus and Numbers theologically, using the most recent scholarly tools, including cultural, literary, and canonical perspectives. The commentary is a marvelous example of the kind of 'believing criticism' that the series intends and that is capable of speaking to contemporary people, who, like ancient Israel, often find ourselves on a journey in the wilderness."
