Bamidbar is the first parashah in the book of Numbers. As we get into this book we start off with the establishing of Israel's new army. As Moses begins to organize the people by tribes, he is instructed to not include the Levites in the count. While the other tribes are being established as the fighting force for the people, YHVH has other plans for the Levites. Remembering the promise He made to the Levites after the rallied to Moses' cry about who was on the Lord's side, He then established them to be His chosen people to serve Him and intercede on behalf of Israel. Within the tribe of Levi, YHVH chooses the lineage of Aaron to be His priests, thereby allowing them to go before His presence. Although this is a short parashah, there are some very good things being taught.
