What illustration did Les use to help picture the size of Israel's camp?
The illustration used to picture Israel’s camp size was comparing the multitude of three to five or seven million Israelites to the entire Dallas-Fort Worth population—over three million people—moving out in tents, along with all their livestock. This helped show how vast and hard to imagine the camp was.
Les explains that the point was not a few thousand people with just a small perimeter of tents, but a multitude of Israelites—three to five or seven million. He asks hearers to imagine Dallas-Fort Worth, which had over three or three and a half million people, moving out in tents and taking all their livestock. He admits this is hard to picture, yet it was a reality, showing why Balak knew he needed help.
