Torah Reading: Parshat Beha'alotcha
Summary
| Portion: Beha'alotecha = When You Set Up | בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ
(Hebrew) |
| Book: Bamidbar = Numbers | Section:
8:1-12:16 |
Context: The Israelites are wandering in the desert.
Beha'alotecha describes the Menorah, which is the sacred gold lampstand in the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary which accompanies the Israelites in the wilderness.
This Torah portion also summarises additional rules for the Levites serving the sanctuary, the firstborn, and Passover observance.
When the Israelites complain (yet again) about the food they're missing from their time in Egypt, a frustrated Moses accepts God's instruction to establish an advisory council of 70 elders.
