PricingAboutSupportMatot Masei
Portions 42 and 43 of 54, from Numbers, read together in years that combine them.
Matot. The laws of vows and how they can be annulled are given, and Israel wages war against Midian. The tribes of Reuben and Gad, with half of Menasheh, ask to settle on land east of the Jordan for their large flocks.
Masei. The Israelites' forty-two journeys through the wilderness are listed, and the borders of the land of Canaan are set. Cities of refuge and Levite cities are established, and the daughters of Zelophehad marry within their own tribe to preserve their inheritance, closing the book of Numbers.
