SUMMARY of Weekly Parsha - Numbers 4:21-7:89 Naso

A census of the Gershonites, Merarites, and Koathites between the ages of thirty and fifty is conducted and their duties in the Tabernacle are detailed.

God speaks to Moses concerning what to do with ritually unclean people, repentant individuals, and those who are suspected of adultery.

The obligations of a nazirite vow are explained. They include abstaining from alcohol and not cutting one's hair. God tells Moses how to teach Aaron and his sons the Priestly Blessing.

Finally, Moses consecrates the Sanctuary, and the tribal chieftains bring offerings. Moses then speaks with God inside the Tent of Meeting.
