Definition: The word "Numbers" does not have a commonly recognized or well-defined meaning in the English language as it was coined by Josephus, which may be due to its antiquity rather than any particular historical context. However, it has been used in various ways throughout history and can often refer to:
The 6th century BC Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) of the biblical text that contains much material about the Israelites' migration from Canaan into the land of Palestine.
A Babylonian tablet dating to the 10th century AD used in the archaeological excavation at Ur, which is believed to contain many detailed records of the history of ancient Mesopotamia.
The 8th century AD text by the Persian scholar and philosopher Eusebius that is known as "the Book of Numbers," containing instructions for the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem.
The exact meaning or origin of the word "Numbers" may not be universally recognized, but it seems likely to have had a significant influence on the historical narrative surrounding the Israelites' journey from Canaan into Palestine.
