Torah-Bamidbar

Teachings on Parashat Bamidbar — Numbers 1:1 through 4:20. The book of Numbers opens with a census that most readers skip - but the Hebrew word used for numbered is paqad, a covenant word meaning to attend to, to visit, to appoint. Each teaching explores what it means to be counted by name in the purposes of Yehovah and what the wilderness reveals about how He sees His people.
