Parshas Bamidbar Overview

The Parsha consists of 7,393 Hebrew letters, 1,823 words, 159 verses, and 263 lines in a Torah Scroll. The Parsha emphasizes the meticulous organization and precision required while executing divine activities. It commences with the census of Israelite men aged 20 and above, excluding the Levites, documenting population statistics among the tribes. Levites are assigned the crucial responsibility of caring for the Tabernacle, and detailed camping arrangements are made by tribe, with Levites handling specific tasks. Additionally, the census of firstborn males and Levites is outlined, elaborating on the exchange process. The Kohathites, aged 30 to 50, undergo a separate census for their roles in the Tent of Meeting. Aaron and his sons are tasked with preparing sacred objects for transport under Eleazar's supervision within the Tabernacle. Special care is taken to shield the Kohathites from witnessing the sanctuary's dismantling to prevent any harm.
