GOVERNING THEMES
The load-bearing ideas.

THE BIBLE AS A CONNECTED LIBRARY
Numbers does not stand alone.
Israel's wilderness testing becomes a warning in Psalms, the Gospels, 1 Corinthians, and Hebrews.
The bronze serpent is used by Jesus in John 3.
Balaam's story reappears in later biblical warnings about corruption and compromise.
