Abstract: There are more types of suggestion for the structure of the Book of Numbers. The presented proposal is the result of an exclusively synchronic approach. It is based on the repetition of the opening blocks, containing a command or command information followed by a list of people, and the final blocks, containing activities in accordance with the will of YHWH or the final speech or addendum of the editor. Suggested structure with eight sections draws attention to the phenomenon that the final editor of Book of Numbers could use.
