Passover and Unleavened Bread offerings are detailed for the seven-day feast beginning on the fourteenth of the first month.

The book of Numbers is named for the two censuses of Israel—one at Mount Sinai counting 603,550 fighting men and another in Moab nearly 40 years later. The Hebrew title 'Bemidbar' means 'in the wilderness.'
