֍ ֍ ֍ What is this Torah portion about?

This week we begin reading in the Book of Numbers/Bamidbar

The parashah, Bamidbar, tells of the census of each tribe in detail. How many are old enough for war? It then tells about the duties of the priests. (<<— edited from wikipedia)

֍ ֍ ֍ Where are we in our studies?

The book of Numbers (from Greek Ἀριθμοί, Arithmoi; Hebrew: בְּמִדְבַּר, Bəmīḏbar, “In the desert [of]”) is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah.

The book has a long and complex history; its final form is possibly due to a Priestly redaction (i.e., editing) of a Yahwistic source made some-time in the early Persian period (5th century BC).

The name of the book comes from the two censuses taken of the Israelites.

NOTE: For Older Testament passages I’ve become rather interested in reading them in the Septuagint. I know some passages are different there comparably.

The Septuagint seems to have more depth in understanding than the Bibles translated using the Masoretic text created in about 600-1000 A.D.

This is compared to the origins of the Septuagint.

The Septuagint is the very first translation of the Hebrew Bible from Hebrew to another language, Greek. It’s believed that it was probably translated as early as the third century BC.

The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek is traditionally dated to the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (285-246 BC).
