Step in to The Bible Lab!

Join us in 2025 on our journey from Genesis to Revelation in a year!

Joel and Jake are in the studio this week to recap all the things you need to know about the last couple chapters in Leviticus and the first half of Numbers.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Big Events: The first and second Israelite censuses, dedicating the tabernacle, setting out from Sinai, and major rebellions within the camp.
• Key Themes: Covenant consequences, the significance of firstborn typology, divine accommodation, propitiation
• Rabbit Trails: How the layout of the Israelite encampment points us to Jesus, traveling the Leviticus-to-Revelation corridor, trumpets in the Bible, etc...

Each week during Season 2 of the podcast, we will break down the previous week's readings, including big events, key themes, rabbit-hole curiosities, and devotional thoughts.

If you want to follow along with our reading plan from cover to cover, you can find it right here. We'll be following the 3x5 reading plan, which covers 3 chapters a day and 5 on Sundays. 

Additionally, if you're looking for resources to compliment your study, check out The 3x5 Workbook by David Kalas. This is a great tool to challenge you by providing weekly review quizzes and answers to help your learnings stick.
