![]() Thoughts on the Torah Portion for Last Week. See our page on Spiritual Coaching: Numbers 25-30 In this parsha, we see the Lord reiterate the priesthood covenant blessing of peace with Phinehas after he ends the whoring of men with the women of Midian, which also ends the plague that killed 24,000 Israelites.

Thoughts on Last Week's Torah Portion.
See our page on Spiritual Coaching: Numbers 22-25 In last week's parsha, we saw King Balak hire Balaam to curse Israel for fear that Israel would overtake Moab.

Thoughts on Torah for Last Week.
See our page on Spiritual Coaching: Numbers 16-18 We see in this parsha the Korah rebellion. Along with Korah joined 250 chiefs of the congregation who sided with Korah against Moses and Aaron. Essentially what Korah is asserting is that he and his followers are as holy as Aaron and his sons and they should be priests. This is an interesting assertion. Because when we review the Biblical record, Aaron had his own misdeeds – casting the golden calf Exodus 32, him and Miriam challenging Moses Numbers 12, and then Moses not glorifying God with the water flowing from the rock incident in Numbers 20. |
