Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Matot
Parsha 42
Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Matot Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Numbers 30:2–32:42 it is called Matot which means “tribes,” Vows made to God were required to be completed unless made by a wife or daughter and the husband or father objected to the vow terms. Widowed and divorced women could not take back their vows. God told Moses to attack the Midianites for their deeds in Peor. The Israelites attacked killing every man including five kings and Balaam the prophet. They plundered the Midianites only keeping virgin women alive. Moses directed the troops to stay outside the camp for 7 days and purify everything including themselves. The plunder was divided among the tribes. The troops presented 16,750 shekels of gold for Eleazar and Moses and kept the rest. The Reubenites and the Gadites desired the land on the east side of the Jordan River for their cattle. Moses was concerned that they would not fight for them when they crossed the Jordan and that God would not allow their generation to see the land because of it. They agreed that they would fight until all the land was conquered. Moses agreed The Gadites and Reubenites built cities and some leaders of Manasseh conquered cities and settled there. And that is Matot in 60 seconds.

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Masei
Parsha 43
Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Num. 30:2-36:13 it is called Masei which means journeys. Moses recorded their journeys from Rameses to Sukkoth to Etham to Pi-hahiroth to Marah to Elim to the Sea of Reeds to the wilderness of Sin to Dophkah to Alush to Rephidim to the wilderness of Sinai to Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth to Rithmah to Rimmon-perez to Libnah to Rissah to Kehelath to Mount Shepher Haradah to Makheloth to Tahath to Terah to Mithkah to Hashmonah to Moseroth to Bene-jaakan to Hor-haggidgad to Jotbath to Abronah to Ezion-geber to Kadesh to Mount Hor. At God’s command, Aaron ascended Mount Hor and died there, at the age of 123 years. They journeyed from Mount Hor to Zalmonah to Punon to Oboth to Iye-abarim to Dibon-gad to Almon-diblathaim to the hills of Abarim to the steppes of Moab. God tells Moses that when they crossed the Jordan into Canaan, they were to destroy everything and take the land and divide it. If they failed the remaining inhabitance would annoy them forever. God then sets the boundaries of the land. God sets up for the city of refuge to be established. The cities of refuge were to serve as places for those who accidently killed someone. They would hide in the cities until their trail date. Many rules were created for these cities. Kinsmen of Zelophehad were concerned that the daughters of Zelophehad would marry outside of their tribe. God instructed the daughters to marry their cousins within their tribe. And that is Masei in 60 seconds.
