Parshah Summary In the Parasha Aaron’s grandson Pinchas is rewarded for his act of zealotry in killing the Simeonite prince Zimri and the Midianite princess who was his paramour: God grants him a covenant of peace and the priesthood.

A census of the people counts 601,730 men between the ages of twenty and sixty. Moses is instructed on how the Land is to be divided by lottery among the tribes and families of Israel. The five daughters of Tzelafchad petition Moses that they be granted the portion of the land belonging to their father, who died without sons; God accepts their claim and incorporates it into the Torah’s laws of inheritance.

Moses empowers Joshua to succeed him and lead the people into the Land of Israel. The Parasha concludes with a detailed list of the daily offerings and the additional offerings brought on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh (first of the month), the festivals of Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret.

Haftarah Summary The Haftarah is from the Book of Jeremiah. Born of a priestly family, in 650 B.C.E., Jeremiah began his prophetic mission when he was a young man. The Assyrian Empire fell apart and the small Hebrew Kingdom was caught up in a power struggle between Babylonia in the north and Egypt in the south. Jeremiah saw the dangers that threatened his country and his people. He criticized their wrongdoings and urged them to return to God’s teachings, to renew their Covenant with God. It was only He who could protect them from their enemies. The Haftarah tells of God’s call to Jeremiah to prophesy to the people of Judea. Jeremiah was afraid of the assignment, pleading that he was too young and would not know what message to bring. God assured the Prophet that He would instruct and guide him. Jeremiah then began his long career as a Prophet.
