The m’norah, Pesach and the cloud
Assemble the whole community and have the Levites come before the Tent of Appointed Meeting
B’ha’alotcha begins with the final preparations for Yisra'el’s journey from the Sinai desert to the Promised Land. There are instructions for Aharon, the High Priest, to tend to the light of the m’norah, and for consecrating the Levites into their special role as guardians of the sacred.
Before setting out, the nation of Yisra'el celebrates Pesach, one year after the exodus itself, and provisions are made for those who are unable to celebrate it at its proper time to do so a month later. Details are given about the cloud that signals when to encamp and when to move on. Mosheh is commanded to make two silver trumpets to summon the people.
The narrative now changes tone. The nation of Yisra'el sets out after their long stay in the Sinai desert, but almost immediately there are problems, protests, and complaints. Mosheh suffers his deepest emotional crisis. He prays to YAH to die. YAH tells him to gather seventy elders who will help him with the burdens of leadership.
In the last scene of the parashah, Mosheh’s own sister and brother speak against him. Miryam is punished. Mosheh, here described as the humblest of men, prays on her behalf. After a week’s wait for Miryam to be healed, the people move on.
