Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 25

Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 26:1-51

1 After the plague, YaHVaH spoke to Mosheh and Eleazar, the son of Aharon the priest, saying: 2 “Take a census of the entire community of the Israelites 20 years old and over, following their paternal houses, all those in Israel who are fit to serve in the army.” Mosheh follows YaHVaH’s command and takes a census of males for the army in verses 3 to 50. In verse 51 These are those counted of the Israelites, 601,730. That is a very large army.

Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 26:52 to 65

52 YaHVaH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 53 “To these shall the Land be divided as an inheritance: according to the number of names. 54 For numerous one you shall increase its inheritance for the fewer one you shall lessen its inheritance; each one according to its count shall his inheritance be given. 55 Only by lot shall the Land be divided, according to the names of their fathers’ tribes shall they inherit. 56 According to the lot shall one’s inheritance be divided, between the numerous and the few.” Verses 57 to 65 show the count of the Levite males from one month old and older. 

Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 27

The daughters of Zelophehad bring a case to Mosheh about them losing an inheritance due to the death of their sonless father. Mosheh brings their case before YaHVaH in verse 5. 6 And YaHVaH said to Mosheh, saying: 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak properly. You shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among the brothers of their father, and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass over to them. 8 And to the Children of Yisrael you shall speak, saying: ‘If a man will die and he has no son, you shall cause his inheritance to pass over to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brothers, 10 If he has no brothers, you shall give his inheritance to the brothers of his father. 11 If there are no brothers of his father, you shall give his inheritance to his relative who is closest to him of his family, and he shall inherit it. This shall be for the Children of Yisrael as a decree of justice.” as YaHVaH commanded Mosheh. 

Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 28

1 YaHVaH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘You must watch over My offering … to offer it up to Me at its appointed time.’ The entire 2 chapters explain what offerings are for what times, the type of animals and quantities as well as flour and olive oil. Every day 2 fire offerings (1 morning and 1 afternoon) are to be made with 1 lamb. On Shabbat (Sabbath) an extra ascenst offering with 2 lambs and a sin offering with 1 goat after the ascent offering. On the first day of every month an extra ascent offering with 2 bulls, 1 ram, and 7 lambs and a sin offering of 1 goat after the ascent offering. Chapter 29 continues with what offerings are to be made on the High Holy Days. These days require even more offerings than the regular offerings. 

Bamidbar (Numbers) Chapter 30

1 Mosheh spoke to the Yisraelites in accordance with all that YaHVaH had commanded Mosheh.
