THE TORAH
Numbers
BAMIDBAR
The book details the account of the israelites’ census and arrangements of their tribes. The complaints of the people, twelve spies, prophet Balaam, and other crucial events that remain relevant and recurring in our day and age are also described in the book of Numbers.
In summary, the Book of Numbers is a rich source of history, law, and religious practices of the Israelites. It highlights the faithfulness and sovereignty of God, as well as the grumbling and disobedience of His chosen people. The book serves as a reminder to trust God’s promises and to follow Him wholeheartedly.
Chapter 36
Numbers Chapter 36 is the Last Chapter of the Book that Still Remind to Stay Obedient to G-d’s Commandment Not Otherwise
Obedience That Seeks G-d’s Approval
There are matters that even you obey, you still have to seek G-d’s approval no matter how religious or righteous you may be.
A clear sign of being humble. Since most are arrogant of not admitting their mistake but insist on it still.
“Tribal Intermarriage”
This is the word that Hashem has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying: Let them be wives to whomever is good in their eyes, but only to the family of their father’s tribe shall they become wives.
36:6
As Hashem commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad do.
:10
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, became wives to the sons of their uncles.
:11
[To cousins] from the families of the children of Manasseh son of Joseph did they become wives, and their inheritance remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
:12
These are the commandments and the ordinances that Hashem commanded through Moses to the Children of Israel in the Plains of Moab, at the Jordan, by Jericho.
:13
1 The paternal heads of the family of the sons of Gilead the son of Machir the son of Manasseh of the families of the sons of Joseph approached and spoke before Moses and before the chieftains, the paternal heads of the children of Israel.
2 They said, “The Lord commanded my master to give the Land as an inheritance through lot to the children of Israel, and our master was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 Now, if they marry a member of another tribe of the children of Israel, their inheritance will be diminished from the inheritance of our father, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and thus, it will be diminished from the lot of our inheritance.
4 Even if the children of Israel will have a Jubilee, their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and their inheritance will be diminished from the inheritance of our father’s tribe.”
5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of Joseph’s descendants speak justly.
6 This is the word that the Lord has commanded regarding Zelophehad’s daughters. Let them marry whomever they please, but they shall marry only to the family of their father’s tribe.
7 Thus, the inheritance of the children of Israel will not be transferred from tribe to tribe, for each person from the children of Israel will remain attached to the inheritance of his father’s tribe.
8 Every daughter from the tribes of the children of Israel who inherits property, shall marry a member of her father’s tribe, so each one of the children of Israel shall inherit the property of his forefathers.
9 And no inheritance will be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for each person of the tribes of the children of Israel shall remain attached to his own inheritance.”
10 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Zelophehad’s daughters do.
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah married their cousins.
12 They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained with the tribe of their father’s family.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances that the Lord commanded the children of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan at Jericho.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
