Numbers Rabbah (or Bamidbar Rabbah in Hebrew) is a religious text holy to classical Judaism. It is a midrash comprising a collection of ancient rabbinical homiletic interpretations of the book of Numbers (Bamidbar in Hebrew).
In the first printed edition of the work of Constantinople (1512), it is called Bamidbar Sinai Rabbah, and so cited frequently by Nahmanides (1194–circa 1270) and others. It is the latest component of the Rabbot collection of midrash on the Torah, and as such was unknown to Nathan ben Jehiel (circa 1035–1106), Rashi (1040–1105), and Yalkut.

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:
“I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
