The central theme of the Book of Bamidbar is the second stage of the Israelites\u2019 journey. They have travelled far from Egypt, but are still far from their future homeland. They must also evolve from slaves into a free people. This week’s parsha and next week’s parsha are about the preparations for that journey. The first step is to take a census (to count the people). To inherit their land, the Israelites will have to fight battles. So the men who will form the Israelite army need to be counted up. The Levites are counted separately because it is their job to serve in the Mishkan, and not to fight.<\/p>\n

The layout of the camp is also described. It is to be in a square shape with the Mishkan in the centre. Three tribes are to set up their tents and banners on each side, while the Levites form an inner square. The order in which the tribes camp will also be the order in which they travel.<\/p>\n

The duties of the priestly family of Kehat (Moses, Aaron, and Miriam\u2019s family) \u2013 are now explained. They will carry the holiest objects, the Ark, the Menorah, Altars, curtains, and holy vessels used in the sacrificial service, when the Israelites are on the move. They must to be particularly careful with these special objects.<\/p>\n
