The lighting of the Menorah in the Tabernacle is the highest form or praise, greater than offerings, or good deeds. YHVH desires obedience more than sacrifice, and His kingdom can not be attained through violence or gifts or work. We learn more about the people set apart from the rest of the people who are already set apart from the world. We encounter an interesting rabbit trail about a second Exodus … it is for us?
We learn more about la-shone’ ha raw or the evil tongue, and the problems complaining cause including the tab-ay-rah’or burning, a fire that consumes the outskirts of the camp inhabited by the ay'-rab reb, or mixed multitude who instigated the complaining. Moses sister Miriam falls to the dangers of complaining and is cast out of the camp as dead, and redeemed in 7 days.
We can see an interesting comparison between the first born, the priests, and the bride, and read the account of YHVH sending quail to satisfy the complaining.
The silver trumpets of redemption are introduced and the mechanics of how 3 million people and the Temple of God move in the wilderness, and much more.
