The story
What happens, plainly.
Moshe assigns the Levite clans of Gershon and Merari their work carrying the Mishkan, and all three Levite clans, Kehat, Gershon and Merari, are counted. Hashem gives laws for sending the impure out of the camp, for a person who wrongs another and must confess and repay, for the sotah, a wife suspected by a jealous husband, and for the nazir, who vows to drink no wine, cut no hair and come near no dead body. Aharon and his sons are given the words of the priestly blessing. When the Mishkan is anointed, the twelve chieftains bring six covered wagons and twelve oxen, and then, one each day for twelve days, each brings the same gift for the dedication of the altar. The parsha ends with Moshe going into the Tent of Meeting and hearing the Voice speak to him from between the two cherubim.
