5. Takes us back to שמות מ: לו וּבְהֵעָלוֹת הֶעָנָן מֵעַל הַמִּשְׁכָּן יִסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכֹל מַסְעֵיהֶם. לז וְאִם-לֹא יֵעָלֶה הֶעָנָן וְלֹא יִסְעוּ עַד-יוֹם הֵעָלֹתוֹ. לח כִּי עֲנַן יְהוָה עַל-הַמִּשְׁכָּן יוֹמָם וְאֵשׁ תִּהְיֶה לַיְלָה בּוֹ לְעֵינֵי כָל-בֵּית-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל-מַסְעֵיהֶם.

These laws are presented separately, not in Vayikra, because they only apply in Eretz Yisrael. Can’t get wine or flour in the desert. Give challa to the kohen because he doesn’t have his own land.

8. Chapter 1->4 Organizing the camp, army etc. 5 “Asham" and “sotah" 6 “Nazir" & birkat kohanim 7 Nsiim, dedication of Mishkan 8 Leviim replace bchorim 9 Pesach in the desert; travelling following the 'anan' 10 “Chatzotzrot" for travel signals; "va'yhi b'nsoa" 11 Sinof the "mitavim"; 70 elders 12 Sinof Miriam 13-14 Sinof the spies; & the "maapilim" 15 Korbanot,taking challa, Sanhedrin, shabbat & tzizit 16-17 Korach's rebellion 18 Compensation for Shevet Levi 19 “Para aduma” / "tumat meyt" 20 Mei Meriva - Moshe & Aharon's sin Instead of the story of the generation dying, we have the lawsof para aduma– purification from tumat met. 40th year

9. On-going narrative andLaws 21 War with Arad; sinof "nachash nchoshet“; war with Sichon 22-24 Bilam & Balak 25 Sinwith 'bnot Moav'; Pinchas 26 Census, who will inherit the land 27 Daughters of Tzlofchad request 'nachala'; Moshe is told to die, Yehoshua appointed 28-29 Tmidim u'Musafim (holidays) 30 Annulling vows 31 War against Midyan 32 Inheritance taken by Reuven, Gad & Menashe; their promise to fight 33 Summary - Travel through the desert 34 Borders of Eretz Canaan (to conquer) 35 Cities of Levites & Cities of Refuge 36 Bnot Tzlofchad – protecting inheritance Chapter 1->4 Organizing the camp, army etc. 5 “Asham" and “sotah" 6 “Nazir" & birkat kohanim 7 Nsiim, dedication of Mishkan 8 Leviim replace bchorim 9 Pesach in the desert; travelling following the 'anan' 10 “Chatzotzrot" for travel signals; "va'yhi b'nsoa" 11 Sinof the "mitavim"; 70 elders 12 Sinof Miriam 13-14 Sinof the spies; & the "maapilim" 15 Korbanot,taking challa, Sanhedrin, shabbat & tzizit 16-17 Korach's rebellion 18 Compensation for Shevet Levi 19 ‘Para aduma' / "tumat meyt" 20 Mei Meriva - Moshe & Aharon's sin

10. Bamidbar is primarily a book of stories but the stories are consistently interrupted with laws we would expect to be in Vayikra. • The story we don’t have is leaving Har Sinai and entering Eretz Yisrael.

11. 12 day kiddush provided by each nasi takes us to 14th Nissan Chapter 1->4 Organizing the camp, army etc. 5 “Asham" and “sotah" 6 “Nazir" & birkat kohanim 7 Nsiim, dedication of Mishkan 8 Leviim replace bchorim 9 Pesach in the desert; travelling following the 'anan' 10 “Chatzotzrot" for travel signals; "va'yhi b'nsoa" If it’s 14th Nissan then they had to celebrate Pesach. They waited for Pesach Sheni and then travelled. Pesach Sheni is therefore part of the story section. Travel begins on 20th Iyar. Shemot finishes on Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Why didn’t they start travelling immediately after receiving the 2nd luchot?

12. 21 War with Arad; sinof "nachash nchoshet“; war with Sichon 22-24 Bilam & Balak 25 Sinwith 'bnot Moav'; Pinchas 26 Census, who will inherit the land 27 Daughters of Tzlofchad request 'nachala'; Moshe is told to die, Yehoshua appointed 28-29 Tmidim u'Musafim (holidays) 30 Annulling vows 31 War against Midyan 32 Inheritance taken by Reuven, Gad & Menashe; their promise to fight 33 Summary - Travel through the desert 34 Borders of Eretz Canaan (to conquer) 35 Cities of Levites & Cities of Refuge 36 Bnot Tzlofchad – protecting inheritance הכנה לנסיעה Chapter 1->4 Organizing the camp, army etc. 5 “Asham" and “sotah" 6 “Nazir" & birkat kohanim 7 Nsiim, dedication of Mishkan 8 Leviim replace bchorim 9 Pesach in the desert; travelling following the 'anan' 10 “Chatzotzrot" for travel signals; "va'yhi b'nsoa" 11 Sinof the "mitavim"; 70 elders 12 Sinof Miriam 13-14 Sinof the spies; & the "maapilim" 15 Korbanot,taking challa, Sanhedrin, shabbat & tzizit 16-17 Korach's rebellion 18 Compensation for Shevet Levi 19 ‘Para aduma' / "tumat meyt" 20 Mei Meriva - Moshe & Aharon's sin

13. Immediately after all of this, they start travelling and then the trouble starts. • They should be travelling to Israel but instead we find the story of how they don’t make it and the entire generation dies.
