520    "From one of the most acclaimed biblical commentators at 
       work today, the third book in her award-winning series of 
       commentaries on the Hebrew Bible. The Book of Numbers is 
       the narrative of a great failure. What should have been 
       for the Israelites a brief journey from Mount Sinai to the
       Holy Land becomes a forty-year death march. Both before 
       and after the devastating report of the spies, the 
       narrative centers on the people's desire to return to 
       Egypt, to undo the miraculous work of the Exodus. This 
       view of the wilderness history invites us to a different 
       kind of listening to the many cries of distrust, lament, 
       resentment that issue from the Israelites throughout the 
       Book of Numbers. Is there a way to integrate this 
       narrative of dark murmurings, of obsessive fantasies of 
       return to Egypt, with the celebration of a love-
       intoxicated wilderness discourse? The question touches not
       only on the language the Israelites speak but also on the 
       very nature of human utterance. Who are these people? Who 
       are we who listen to them? What effect does the cumulative
       trauma of slavery, the miracles of Exodus, the revelation 
       at Sinai have on a nation that is beginning to speak? In 
       Bewilderments, Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg posits fascinating
       answers to these questions through the magnificent 
       literary, scholarly, and psychological analysis of the 
       text that is her trademark"--|cProvided by publisher.
