That's the book where Moses and Aaron take several censuses to "number" the children of Israel (according to age, tribe, and so on).

It contains numbers such as a man is worth $1, a woman worth .25 and a teenager worth .15/something like that as I recall.
It also lists the number of registered Democrats/Republicans...oops...the number of persons in the 12 Tribes of Israel as I recall.

The above answers pretty much cover it. By the way, the Jews don't call it Numbers. They call it "wilderness" because it describes the Jews wandering in the desert.
