we begin by describing the travels of
the israel from midbar sinai to midbar
paran this was almost a year
after they arrived in midbar sinai to
accept the torah
the torah describes now the camps
and how banega's trial traveled
throughout the midbar
bonnets were split up into four camps
the first camp was yehuda and in
yehuda's camp were the shavatim of
sakharan's volun the second camp was the
camp of ruvain and the shvatim of shimon
and god accompanied ruving the third
camp was the camp of ephraim accompanied
by the shwatum of menasha and binyamin
and the fourth camp was the camp of dun
accompanied by the shvatim of usher and
naftali
now in the midst of those travels
the mishkan was dismantled in fact the
torah describes that after the after the
camp of yehuda traveled
the mishkan was dismantled and the
mishkan was carried by the levium
specifically the families of gershon and
mirari they dismantled the mishkan and
they carried the mishkan throughout the
midbar
following the travels of the camp of
rouve
the torah describes that the family the
levy family of kahus who would carry the
kalim the vessels of the mishkan
traveled at that point and then the
torah puts in here that whenever they
arrived at their new camp gershon and
mirari who were carrying the mishkan
would go up ahead and erect the mishkan
for everyone and then kahas would come
and would insert the klim and replace
the kalim in their proper places in the
mishkan
after this moshe
approaches his father-in-law yisrael and
asks him to join the jewish people on
their journey to eric's israel israel
refuses and he says i have to go home i
have to go back and be with my people.
the torah then describes that the arrow
the ark
would travel three days in front of the
israel almost scouting out the road
scouting out the path of where banayaswa
were to go
the torah describes how the cloud led
them in their travels
and that leads us to our thought from
this aliyah connected to the thought
from the previous helio but not just
that when we travel through life we have
the unknown as we described in the
previous aliyah but also here sometimes
things are cloudy
the cloud is the what led them through
the midbar sometimes what leads us in
life is cloudy it's overcast
it looks like it's not great it looks
like our situation is not ideal is not
perfect
but the message is that we always have
to recognize that even though sometimes
things in life look cloudy sometimes
things in life look overcast
it's always akarjabaraku that's leading
us it's always hashem that's at the
forefront and if we remember that
we'll always feel secure despite and
through all of our travels and
challenges in life
