Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents B’haalot’cha

Parsha 36

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Numbers 8:1–12:16 it is called Behaalotecha which means “when you step up.” The Levites were dedicated to God in a ceremony that involved sprinkling water and laying hands on two bulls. It was time to celebrate Passover. Some men were unclean. God allowed a second Passover offering on the 14th day of the second month A cloud covered the Tabernacle by day, and a fire rested on it by night. The Israelites used silver horns to communicate to the whole camp. The Israelites followed the cloud to the wilderness of Paran. Moses asked his father-in-law to come with the Israelites, but he refused. Moses asked again and they marched three days distance from Mount Sinai. When the people would complain God would rain down fire on the outside of the camp until Moses prayed. The people demanded meat and Moses complained to God about the people. God would give them meat and come down and take the Spirit that rested on Moses and place it on the 70 elders. Two of the elders stayed in the camp and still received the spirit and began prophesying. This concerned Joshua but Moses said it was a good thing. God provided quail but then sent a plague. Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses and God rebuked them and afflicted Miriam with scales. Moses asked God to heal her, but God made her go through the purification process like everyone else. And that is Behaalotecha in 60 seconds.

Parsha 35

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Numbers 4:21–7:89 it is called Nasso which means “lift up.” Moses took several census’ in order to divide specific tasks in the tabernacle. God directed the Israelites to purify the camp and remove unclean people. When one wronged a fellow Israelite and realized his guilt, he was to confess and make restitution. Sacred donations were to be the priest’s to keep. If a husband accused his wife of being unfaithful they would go to the priest to take the test of bitter water. The test involved mixing some dirt in water, baking bread, and the wife drinking the water. If her thigh sags and belly distends, then she was unfaithful. If nothing happened she was faithful and could bear children. Should one wish to set themselves apart for God, they would take a nazirite vow. No wine, intoxicants, vinegar, grapes, raisins, or anything obtained from the grapevine. No razor was to touch the nazirite’s head until the completion of the nazirite term. And the nazirite was not to go near a dead person. If a person died suddenly near a nazirite, they must shave their head, make sacrifice, and start over. On completion of the vow sacrifice was made and hair would be shaved and burned. The Aaronic Benediction was instructed to the priest to give to the people. The Tabernacle was completed and anointed and consecrated. Moses would speak to God in the Tent of Meeting And that is Nasso in 60 seconds.

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Leviticus 26:3–27:34 it is called Bechukotai which means “by my decrees.” if the Israelites followed God’s laws, God would bless Israel with rains in their season, abundant harvests, peace, victory over enemies, fertility, and God’s presence. If they failed, God would wreak upon Israel misery, consumption, fever, stolen harvests, defeat by enemies, poor harvests, attacks of wild beasts, pestilence, famine, desolation, and timidity. Survivors would be exiled to the land of their enemies, where they would feel convicted, confess their sin, and atone. God would never forget the covenant. If anyone vowed to offer God the value of a human being, the following scale would apply: man from age 20 to 60, 50 shekels of silver woman 20 to 60, 30 shekels boy 5 to 20, 20 shekels girl 5 to 20, 10 shekels boy 1 month to 5 years, 5 shekels girl from 1 month to 5 years, 3 shekels man 60 or over, 15 shekels woman 60 or over, 10 shekels If vower was poor they would go to the priest to get a lower rate.

First born clean animals already belonged to God and could not be used, unclean firstborns were usable. Houses and land were also givable as a vow. Nothing that one had identified as condemned could be sold or redeemed, and no human being condemned could be ransomed, but he was to be put to death. tithes crops were to be God’s, Every tenth head of livestock was to be holy to God, and the owner was not to choose good or bad when counting off the tithe.
