Numbers is the 4th book of bible
“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you.
The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible, and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah. The book is called Numbers because at the start God ordered a counting of the people (a census) in the twelve tribes of Israel. ... Therefore, God punished them by making the Israelites travel forty years before they could settle in Israel, the promised land.
Meaning:
This familiar benediction has long been used by the church (and Jewish communities) to conclude services of worship. But it is wise to remember that this blessing stands at both the beginning and end of our life with God and in the world. This blessing is designated for Israel's time of departure from Sinai, and was to be used daily throughout their journey. This is a blessing for a journey!
