There are many kinds of numbers: [[prime number]]s, [[composite number]]s, [[rational number]]s, [[real number]]s, [[imaginary number]]s, [[complex number]]s, and [[transcendental number]]s. Belief in [[numerology]] is generally not considered compatible with [[Christian]] beliefs.+ + + + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

'''Numbers''' [Hebrew: '''במדבר'''] is the fourth book of the [[Bible]] in the [[Old Testament]] written by [[Moses]]. The Hebrew title of the book literally means "In the desert." The book's English name comes from the records of the Israelite tribes that take up a large part of the book.
This book is considered to have been written by [[Moses]] along with the other books of the [[Torah]] (the first five books of the Old Testament). It relates the story of Israel's journey from [[Mount Sinai]] to the plains of [[Moab]] on the border of [[Canaan]].
Numbers is also the fourth book of the [[Bible]].
Famous stories found in the Book of Numbers include the stories of Balaam's Ass ({{Bible ref|Numbers|22|verses=22-35}}) and the Bronze Serpent ({{Bible ref|Numbers|21|verses=4-9}}).
