"It was easy for God to get the people out of Egypt, but harder to get Egypt out of the people." You've probably heard us mention the expression multiple times, but the truth of it becomes clear in the book of Numbers. The books of Numbers and Deuteronomy focus on the transition from the old generation; their disobedience to God triggered a handoff to the next generation. God restates the law to the youth of the day through Deuteronomy. In these books, God continually shows His sufficiency and provision, despite a rebellious people. His patience and faithfulness build a strong foundation for our modern-day understanding of the character of God.
