Numbers 1:1 - Exposition

In the tabernacle of the congregation —where the Lord spake with Moses "face to face" ( Exodus 33:11 ), and where all the laws of Leviticus had been given ( Leviticus 1:1 ). On the first day of the second month, in the second year. On the first day of Zif (or Ijar); a year and a fortnight since the exodus, ten months and a half since their arrival at Sinai, and a month since the tabernacle had been set up.
