How do I _make_ a video from a set of numbered images? Is there any editing tool that will allow me to do that?

dvd-slideshow is one tool that does this job.

I believe what you're looking for is mjpegtools. In particular, jpeg2yuv. Or, if you're starting from something other than JPEG, but can convert it to PPM, the long way around is ppmtoy4m, also part of mjpegtools.

Note: I haven't used these myself, yet.

I don't know of any graphical tools, but I've used mencoder to do that in the past. This is an example from the man page:

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4

Cinelerra can do it.

Pretty much everyone can do that. OpenShot can do it, I believe KDEnlive can do it. And as others have said, it's ridicously easy to do in the command line. :-) Hope you can make it work.

Or is it slideshow you want to make? Those are different use cases, -- there are also programs for doing that, though I don't remember them them.
