- Deductive reasoning (Wikipedia)
Deductive reasoning is the mental process of drawing deductive inferences. An inference is deductively valid if its conclusion follows logically from its premises, i.e. it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false.
- Book of Numbers (Wikipedia)
The Book of Numbers (from Greek Ἀριθμοί, Arithmoi, lit. ’numbers’; Biblical Hebrew: בְּמִדְבַּר, Bəmīḏbar, lit. ‘In [the] desert’; Latin: Liber Numeri) is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah. The book has a long and complex history; its final form is possibly due to a Priestly redaction (i.e., editing) of a Yahwistic source made sometime in the early Persian period (5th century BC). The name of the book comes from the two censuses taken of the Israelites.
