Composed: Talmudic Israel/Babylon, 1200 CE
Bamidbar Rabbah is an eleventh-century midrash on the book of Numbers, consisting of two distinct parts: the first provides verse-by-verse interpretations for the first seven chapters of the book of Numbers, and the second offers sermons connected to chapter 8–36. Notably, the second part is almost identical to the Midrash Tanchuma on these chapters.
