Yes orignally it was in a way. Back in 6000 BCE the phone book as we now know it was actually the slave book. It used to list the group and hut number of slaves.
Around 10 CE, Micheal Gorbishiv revived the book and called it 'Numbers'.
77 CE, Joshua Himmel, a prominent Rabbi, ordered the book to be included in the Tora. However, that was not done until later when Christianity formed. They added it to the Old Testament.
In 1977, the Mormons who populated Utah became infatuated with Las Vegas. The lights, the shows and the GAMES. The tabernacle later formed many get rich quick systems designed at beating the 'house'. The then incorporated it into the book of Numbers in their Book of Mormon with the idea that when Mormons win, they will tithe. These offerings could then be rolled up to take over the Cola industry.
