Description

Precept upon precept, line by line reading. Week 37 Torah Portion - Shelach (Send for Yourself) Numbers 13:1-15:41. Translation: Cepher

(6.25.24)

Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a pomegranate and a fig, to report on a lush and bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants of the land are giants and warriors “more powerful than we”; only Caleb and Joshua insist that the land can be conquered, as יהוה has commanded.

The people weep that they’d rather return to Egypt. יהוה decrees that Israel’s entry into the Land shall be delayed forty years, during which time that entire generation will die out in the desert. A group of remorseful Hebrews storm the mountain on the border of the Land, and are routed by the Amalekites and Canaanites.

The laws of the menachot (meal, wine and oil offerings) are given, as well as the mitzvah to consecrate a portion of the dough (challah) to יהוה when making bread. A man violates the Shabbat by gathering sticks, and is put to death. יהוה instructs to place fringes (tzitzit) on the four corners of our garments, so that we should remember to fulfill the mitzvot (divine commandments).
