This parashah covers Numbers 4:21–7:89 and completes the headcount of the Children of Israel taken in the Sinai Desert with the Tribe of Levi, a total of 8,580 Levitemen between the ages of 30 and 50 are counted in a tally of those who will be doing the actual work of transporting the Tabernacle.
God communicates to Moses the law of the sotah, the wayward wife suspected of unfaithfulness to her husband. Also given is the law of the nazir, who forswears wine, lets his or her hair grow long, and is forbidden to become contaminated through contact with a dead body. (It is this section that is reflected in the haftarah portion about Samson in the book of Judges below.)
Aaron and his descendants, the kohanim, are instructed on how to bless the people of Israel.
The Priestly Blessing (Num. 6:22-27)
22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’
27 “In so placing my name on them, I will bless them.”
It is in the knowledge of how to pronounce and place the true Holy name on our children that truly brings a blessing upon them... (Just as every child takes their father's name and every bride takes her husband's name, the children of Israel are God's children and bride! This is why it is so important to be grafted in to Israel even if you cannot trace your ancestral roots.)
The leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel then each bring their offerings for the inauguration of the altar. Although their gifts are identical, each is brought on a different day and is individually described by the Torah.
