Torah Portion: Mattot (Tribes)Masa’ei (Stages) B’midbar/Numbers 30:2-36:13
Haftorah Reading: Jeremiah 1:1-2:28; 4:1-2
 

Today we finish the book of Numbers or B’Midbar by reading two portions of scripture. In these readings we will see many things that still speak to us today. In Masa’ei we read about the setting of boundaries for each tribe. G-d laid out exactly where each tribe would settle and told them they were responsible to cleanse to the land of its former inhabitants. They were told to destroy the idols and high places of the former inhabitants.
